The temperatures will remain hot across the east and the south will be dry for the first time in what feels like forever.

Biloxi Shuckers
The Shuckers start a home series at 6:05pm CDT tonight against our very own Birmingham Barons. Temperatures will be in the mid-80s with humidity in the upper 60% range. It will be a pretty clear evening with just a few clouds coming in during the final innings. Surface winds will be around 3 mph, with winds at 150ft around 19 mph pointing towards the left field foul line. This might cause those fly balls to go further out of bounds than expected due to the stronger winds at 150ft. The higher humidity will make it feel quite hot and sticky out, but nothing unusual for the south this time of year!
The Shuckers continue their home series against the Barons on Wednesday at 11:05am CDT. Temperatures will be increasing throughout the game as we head into the hottest part of the day, around 90 degrees. It will also be clear out which means the sun will be beating down over everyone and make it feel even hotter. Humidity will be around 60% with calm surface winds. At 150ft, winds will be around 10 mph pointing towards left field. The clear skies and hot temperatures will make for quite the hot game so it will be crucial for everyone to hydrate and wear plenty of sunscreen. Players will likely feel the effects after the first inning and make need to take longer breaks in-between innings to cool off.

A fairly hot and sticky evening but not too terrible and it should be nice enough to still enjoy the ballgame!
Brooklyn Cyclones
The Cyclones start a home series against the Wilmington Blue Rocks this week starting tonight at 6:40pm EDT. Temperatures will start around 85 degrees and cool to around 75 degrees by the end of the game. Humidity all increase as the game continues and as showers start to move into the area. Clouds will move in by the final innings as we see thunderstorms enter our area which may mean the final innings may not be played. Winds will also pick up with these storms coming in so likely the game will be postponed for the evening unless they move the game time up to avoid these storms. Be prepared if you planned on attending this game to be in the rain and try to leave before any storms move in so you don’t get caught outside in a thunderstorm.
Wednesday’s game against the Blue Rocks will take place at 6:40pm EDT in Brooklyn. Temperatures will be in the upper-70s and it will be mostly cloudy.

At the surface they will be around 4 mph which won’t give any relief from that heavy, sticky feeling. Be prepared for showers after the game when you travel home on Wednesday.

Winds will be calm at all levels with air motion naturally rising. It will be partly cloudy with only a very slight chance for some thunder nearby. With naturally rising air, this will help keep fly balls up in the air for longer and help them get that extra few inches they might need. Overall, it will feel quite hot and sticky with that lingering moisture in air, but nothing super uncomfortable.
Thursday’s game against the Tourists takes place at 6:35pm EDT. It will be a cloudy evening with showers in the region. These rain showers may be heavy can cause a delay in the game.
