Milwaukee Brewers fans are in for a cloudy home opener with rain, and even some snow, forecast for Monday's face-off against the Kansas City Royals.
Temperatures will hover in the upper 30s, "maybe briefly touching 40 degrees" throughout the afternoon, according to Milwaukee-Sullivan National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Quigley.
Though conditions are forecast to be mostly dry by first pitch in the afternoon, morning tailgaters may encounter some rain, wet snowflakes or a mix of both until lunchtime, Quigley said. Winds between 10 to 15 mph will persist throughout the day, with occasional gusts of up to 25 mph.
"It's going to be feeling a little bit more like winter out there than spring, unfortunately," Quigley added.
For grillers, in particular, he advised bringing some extra supplies Monday.
"I know a lot of go-getters like to bring those tents to keep their grills covered up if there is rain," he said, "That might not be a bad idea on Monday, especially."
Under cold, rainy and potentially snowy conditions, the roof will almost certainly be closed for the home opener.
On the day of the game, you can call the American Family Field roof hotline at 414-902-4636 for confirmation on whether the roof will be closed.
The Brewers' home opener at American Family Field is at 1:10 p.m. Monday, March 31 against the Kansas City Royals.
The series will continue at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, April 1 and 12:10 p.m. Wednesday, April 2.
The cloudy weather is unlikely to let up anytime soon in Milwaukee, with overcast skies forecast until at least April 3 — though there's a chance of partly cloudy conditions to kick off the weekend.
"We're looking at kind of gloomy for the next seven days here across southern Wisconsin, but maybe we can see the sunshine in late Friday afternoon," Quigley said.
