So what's the game plan pregame if the Pickles area is being rained on? That's a ton of people that will need an indoor bar. 

That place is small enough as it is, and not much room to navigate on a good weather day.

Probably not happening tomorrow. Might not be raining at game time but cloudy, cold, a little damp. Friday's going to be too nice to pass up.

My app says 17% chance of rain today.. 

If they cancel, they’ll look pretty stupid.

Looks like mostly cloudy in the low 50s. Orioles just released approximately 50 tickets on their website.

IDK where everyone gets their wildly varying weather forecasts (I'm guessing it's the crappy stock weather apps on your smartphone), but WBAL says that there will be light rain off and on basically from 3-6pm. Pushing this game back an hour or two or even postponing to the 100% clear day on Friday would have been a perfectly reasonable call here.

Seems they would rather just get everyone in the house first and then make a game time decision on delaying the start time. Could be one of those marathon ballpark days.

Looks like rain should be out of the area around 5 PM. Should move the start time up an hour or two. Forecast for the Royals looks worse ,next week.

It will be some drizzle today but barely any rain the rest of the day.  Take a look at the radar….the storm is to the east of us and won’t be coming this way.

Hope to see you guys in Baltimore today.   That's where I will be.

Yup,the new NWS has changed again. I am sure another few changes before game time. 

 

Isolated showers. Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, cloudy, with a high near 55. Northwest wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

3 hours out a meteorologist baseball fan friend thinks very good chance 305 will be able to occur as scheduled.

Now we see about the KC series. But the forecast will change a couple of times

Based on the current forecast, it will be tough to get 3 games in against KC.  A doubleheader Wednesday starting at Noon should be feasible, since the O's are off the next day and the Royals would have just a 2 hour 45 minute flight to KC after the game(s).
