The American League Championship Series (ALCS) is underway, as the Tampa Bay Rays take on the Cleveland Guardians for a chance to move on to the World Series.
After playing indoors at Tropicana Field for Games 1 and 2 in Florida, the series shifts to Cleveland beginning with Games 3, 4 and 5.
And weather could be another opponent for each team in Ohio.

Rainy, windy, chilly conditions in the forecast
For Game 3 on Thursday, there is a chance of rain in the forecast, picking up especially in the evening hours when the game is set to play.
Though chances are lower, and it should hopefully not be enough to cause any delays, if you are planning to attend the game, I would make sure to pack a poncho.

On Friday for Game 4, though, is when the weather could really get interesting. There is a high chance of showers throughout the entire day, lingering into the evening.
Strong north to northwest winds are also in the forecast, with occasional gusts over 40 mph possible.
That stiff wind blowing in from the outfield at Progressive Field could both make it difficult to hit home runs and track any fly balls for fielders in the game.
Game 5 will also be in Cleveland on Saturday. It should be dry for this game, but temperatures will really plummet on Saturday, so if you’re headed to the game, make sure to bundle up.
Due to the magnitude of these games, they often try to avoid any delays if possible, but regardless, the weather could make for some very amusing games to watch.
