About

Built by a fan,
for fans.

I built Ballpark Weather because I've been burned by bad weather at the ballpark more times than I'd like to admit. A standard weather app doesn't tell you what you actually need to know as a baseball fan. It tells you there's a 70% chance of rain. It doesn't tell you whether they're going to play.

Those are 2 different questions. MLB teams will delay games for hours waiting for a window. A storm that rolls through at 6pm might not affect a 7pm first pitch at all. Or it might.

The 2025 Tampa Bay Rays proved this in the most painful way possible. Playing at an open-air ballpark for the first time after Hurricane Milton destroyed Tropicana Field's roof, they sat through 17 rain delays across 16 games — 17 hours and 47 minutes of waiting. Every one of those delays was a fan who drove to the park, bought a beer, and stared at a tarp.


What this is

Ballpark Weather is a simple, focused tool. Every day during the MLB season it pulls the schedule and weather forecasts for all 30 ballparks, runs them through a scoring model built around how the league actually makes postponement decisions, and gives you a clear read on every game.

No score prediction, no fantasy data, no noise. Just the one question answered as clearly as possible: will they play?


Who made it

I'm Justin, a web designer based in New Jersey. This is a side project, something I built because I wanted it to exist. If you have thoughts, found a bug, or just want to say something, the feedback page is right there. Whether anyone else finds it useful is still an open question. If it's saved you a wasted trip to the ballpark, a coffee is always appreciated.
