Comerica Park Weather for the Colorado Rockies Series, April 22-24

The Colorado Rockies are visiting Detroit this weekend, and there’s more than just  Detroit Tigers fans celebrating Miguel Cabrera’s 3000th hit in the forecast for Comerica Park.

In fact, the weather Friday night in Detroit doesn’t look all that promising at the moment, although the rest of the weekend looks like it will improve and warm by quite a bit for Saturday and Sunday.

So it’ll be a little touch-and-go whether Friday night’s game will be delayed, but it looks good otherwise.

Detroit Forecast for April 22

Miguel Cabrera’s first try at 3000 could be a bit damp. The Tigers host the Rockies at 7:10 p.m., but the hourly forecast for Detroit at Weather Underground shows a likelihood of rain beginning about 5 p.m. There’s a 57% chance of precipitation at 7 p.m. with a first-pitch temperature slated for right about 50 degees.

It doesn’t get much better after that: The chance of rain climbs steadily throughout the evening, peaking at 77% for the 11 p.m. hour.

About a quarter-inch of rain is in the forecast.

Winds are forecasted to be about 8-10 mph out of the east, which means they’ll be blowing in from left field..

Detroit Forecast for April 23

It should be a postcard morning and afternoon at Comerica Park on Saturday at least. Weather Underground shows a sunny day with highs of about 71 degrees for first pitch, scheduled for a little after 1 p.m.

The temperature could reach about 80 degrees by the end of the game, with comfortable due points and humidity of about 50%.

The wind is forecasted to be about 10 mph from the south (blowing in from right-center field toward third base, essentially).

Detroit Forecast for April 24

The Tigers-Rockies series ought to close with pretty similar weather on Sunday. Highs are forecasted to be closer to 80 degrees at first pitch, with the possibility of more clouds in the sky, per Weather Underground.

The only real difference: Winds might be the strongest of the entire series, coming in at 18-20 mph from the southwest.
