Saw on another site that forecast for Wrigley this afternoon was for 10-to-15 MPH wind blowing in (from left or right, cannot remember which) with high predicted in the lower 50s and good chance for rain.

Any locals or Wrigley experts have better info or insight on today's weather?

Thanks,
BW

Three weather sites:

NNE @ 17
NNE @ 16
N @ 14

These are all blowing in. Forecast is for 15-25 NNE.

Similar here in Milwaukee with same wind direction.

I posted this in another thread but I'll put it out again.

Bleachers were added to left and right field with a wall behind.
It will be interesting to see if this will effect days like today.

How big is the wall??? Can you still see in from the surrounding buildings?

Fat Tony, I saw some pictures when it was under constuction looked about 30 feet.

I went to the team site and couldn't find any photos but on the seating chart it didn't look high at all. I can't wait for game time.

Seats go back a little farther. Not sure how much effect it will have on wind. Looks like a small effect.

On WGN, they said gusts straight in from Center at up to 30MPH.
