Game Weather Board

Tonight’s games, ranked by how much the weather matters. Wind is resolved against each field - out to centre or across the gridiron - because a wind direction on its own tells you nothing.

Updated Mon, Sep 14, 8:02 PM EDT. Refreshes hourly.

Where the weather matters most

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.

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.” Sportsbooks price the forecast too - what this board is for is seeing the whole slate at once, and watching what changes as game time gets closer.

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.
