CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Indians made it to the World Series, Cleveland! The first time since 1997. Game 1, this Tuesday, Oct. 25, is forecasted to be in the mid 40s, with thankfully near zero rain chances.
Meteorologist Kelly Reardon takes an early look at the weather expected for Game 1 of the World Series and the Cleveland Cavs season opener on Tuesday, Oct. 25.
So, wear a warm coat, bring your Tribe hats and gloves, and give thanks that the weather is better than the chilly World Series in 1997.
Note: All temperatures are from first pitch. Red denotes home games, grey denotes away games. Games 5, 6, and 7 of this year's World Series are pending on the results of Games 1 through 4.
1995: The games played in Cleveland against the Braves were definitely pretty warm for late October, in the 50s with no rain. Talk about perfect game weather for both fans and players!
1997: The games played in Florida were obviously very toasty compared to Cleveland, in the mid 70s to 80s. Here in 1997, games 3 and 5 weren't bad, in the high 40s to 50s. It was game 4 that was notably chilly, with game temperatures starting at 41 degrees which dropped to the mid 30s - burr!
For the fans, the game was spent bundled up head to toe with star-struck eyes peeping between their scarves and hats.
Baltna Snowden, of Wooster, Ohio, is bundled up from the cold as she waits for the start of Game4 of the World Series at Cleveland's Jacobs Field, Wednesday, Oct. 22, 1997. Temperatures at game time were in the 30s with snow flurries.
2016: This year, we're looking quite a bit warmer than in 1997, making it much easier to cheer in the stands! The first two games' start temperatures are in the mid 40s -- definitely doable.
However, Tuesday it's looking there will be some rain, so that'll make it a bit harder for the players, but if you're lucky enough to be in the stands, definitely bring a rain coat.
If games 6 and 7 occur, they'll be in Cleveland, in the mid 50s with only slight chances of rain for now.
