Yankees-Mets weather: Will it rain for Monday’s makeup game? Bronx, N.Y. forecast tonight (UPDATE)

The Yankees and Mets are scheduled to meet Monday, August 13, 2018 (8/13/18) at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, N.Y. They are making up a game which was rained out on July 22, 2018 (7/22/18). But the weather forecast for Monday could force a change in plans. The Yankees are going for their third straight win, but sit 9.5 games behind the first-place Boston Red Sox in the American League East.

The Yankees and Mets are scheduled to meet Monday at Yankee Stadium. They are making up a game which was rained out on July 22nd. But once again, the weather could be a factor. Here is Monday’s weather forecast for Bronx, N.Y. from the National Weather Service as of 6:18 p.m.:

Tonight: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 8pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 8pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rain. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 71. East wind 3 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

The Flash Flood Watch has been expanded to include NYC. The watch now includes all of NE NJ and NYC until midnight.

If the game is rained out Monday, making it up could prove difficult. The Yankees and Mets have just one common off-day the rest of the season – Thursday, Sept. 6 – but the Yankees will be in the middle of a nine-game road trip which takes them to Oakland, Seattle and Minneapolis.

Mailbag: Would Josh Donaldson to Yankees make sense?
