Where the weather matters most

Nothing moving. The weather is calm across the slate; the tables below still have every game.

MLB - today

Wind blowing out carries fly balls; warm air helps. Rain is shown as a risk to the game itself, not as a push on scoring. Every row links to its game page - the field drawn, the hourly, the forecasters’ editions.

NFL - this week

Wind suppresses scoring in either direction, crosswinds most of all. Cold and rain push the same way.

What the impact rating is, and is not

The rating is how much the conditions push scoring, and which way, from the mechanisms that move it: wind against the field, air density, precipitation. It is not a projected total and not a pick. We say “suppresses scoring, strongly”; we never say “43.5.” What the board is for is seeing the whole slate at once, and watching what changes as game time gets closer. Every rating is kept from the moment it is made, and “since this morning” on a row is the board’s first look at that game today beside its latest.

To follow a game, open its page: Follow there sends an email when its rating moves and a summary two hours before it starts. Every park and stadium page has the same button for the venue.

Forecasts from the National Weather Service; gusts from the HRRR model. Park and stadium geometry from MLB and OpenStreetMap. Retractable roofs are marked because the decision to close is made close to game time and is not published in advance.
