Tue Mar 25 00:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Mostly Sunny Skies and Cool Temps Forecast for MLB Opening Day 2025

**Atlanta, GA** – Major League Baseball’s Opening Day 2025 is set for Thursday, March 27th, with a mostly favorable weather forecast across the country. While a few teams might need to contend with chilly temperatures or a slight chance of showers, no major storms are expected to disrupt the festivities.

According to Jonathan Erdman, a senior meteorologist at weather.com, nine of the fifteen opening day games will be played outdoors in open-air stadiums. While a slight chance of showers exists in St. Louis during the Cardinals-Twins game, Erdman doesn’t anticipate any rainouts for outdoor games. Fans attending the St. Louis game are advised to bring rain gear as a precaution.

Several teams with retractable roofs – including the Rangers, Astros, and Mariners – may choose to close their roofs due to potential rain. The Toronto Blue Jays are also likely to keep the roof closed at Rogers Centre due to chilly temperatures.

Games in the Northeast (Yankees, Nationals) will experience seasonably cool temperatures, requiring only light jackets. Meanwhile, several cities – including Kansas City, Chicago, Cincinnati, Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Miami – are expected to enjoy pleasant weather conditions for their respective opening day games.

The Tampa Bay Rays’ opening day game against the Colorado Rockies, scheduled for Friday, will be played outdoors at Steinbrenner Field due to Hurricane Milton damage to Tropicana Field.

Overall, the forecast suggests a largely successful start to the 2025 MLB season with only minor weather-related concerns.
