Overview
- Forecasts point to a cloudy, damp start Friday with patchy mist before skies brighten in the afternoon as winds turn southwest.
- First pitch at 2:10 p.m. should see upper 50s with some sun, with temperatures likely edging into the low 60s by the later innings.
- A light breeze is expected during the game, and Fenway’s bowl design should block much of the wind for most seats.
- Saturday’s 4:10 p.m. game looks cooler under mostly cloudy skies, with showers likely to reach Fenway near Sunday’s 1:35 p.m. start.
- Friday’s readings are set to top early‑April norms in Boston, where the average April 4 high is about 52°F and typical home openers average 56°F.
