We're getting back into the Spring swing of things! Temperatures have certainly felt Spring-like recently but it will look, and sound (maybe smell) even more like it with baseball returning!

With many first pitches set to be tossed in the afternoon, many forecasts look like home runs. There are just a few exceptions that might put a damper on the ceremonial day. The biggest concern might come from the Midwest on Thursday. A warm front lifting north could provide enough of a focus to spark some fireworks.

Damaging winds and large hail will be the biggest concerns with any storms that develop Thursday afternoon. Kansas City, St. Louis, and Chicago will all need to keep an eye to the sky.

Other areas that will need a poncho thankfully sport indoor stadiums in Arlington and Houston. Seattle might also sport a closed roof for the season opener with rain in the forecast. While it won't be raining in the northeast at first pitch, it will be a bit chilly for the Yankees.
