Right fielder playing about 30 yards behind the 2nd baseman, Centerfield to the left of 2nd base at about 260, and the Left fielder on the line at the warning track.
by game time winds will probably be 15-25 with gusts to 35 out of the SW - only shot of a home run might be if someone hits it to the power alley in left-center, it may just bend around the foul pole. Good news is that the storm will be moving through fast, so steady rain risk should be over by game time (and be shorter-lived). That is not to say that there won't be some very heavy showers around - I will be splitting my time between watching the game and watching for funnel clouds
Oh, a thought, might be challenging for the outfielders to judge things too.
