What will the weather be like for the Milwaukee Brewers' home opener this year?
Milwaukee Brewers fans are in for a cloudy home opener with rain, and even some snow, forecast for Monday's face-off against the Kansas City Royals.
Temperatures will hover in the upper 30s, "maybe briefly touching 40 degrees" throughout the afternoon, according to Milwaukee-Sullivan National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Quigley.
Though conditions are forecast to be mostly dry by first pitch in the afternoon, morning tailgaters may encounter some rain, wet snowflakes or a mix of both until lunchtime, Quigley said. Winds between 10 to 15 mph will persist throughout the day, with occasional gusts of up to 25 mph.
"It's going to be feeling a little bit more like winter out there than spring, unfortunately," Quigley added.
For grillers, in particular, he advised bringing some extra supplies Monday.
"I know a lot of go-getters like to bring those tents to keep their grills covered up if there is rain," he said, "That might not be a bad idea on Monday, especially."
Under cold, rainy and potentially snowy conditions, the roof will almost certainly be closed for the home opener.
On the day of the game, you can call the American Family Field roof hotline at 414-902-4636 for confirmation on whether the roof will be closed.
The Brewers' home opener at American Family Field is at 1:10 p.m. Monday, March 31 against the Kansas City Royals.
The series will continue at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, April 1 and 12:10 p.m. Wednesday, April 2.
The cloudy weather is unlikely to let up anytime soon in Milwaukee, with overcast skies forecast until at least April 3 — though there's a chance of partly cloudy conditions to kick off the weekend.
"We're looking at kind of gloomy for the next seven days here across southern Wisconsin, but maybe we can see the sunshine in late Friday afternoon," Quigley said.

Allie Quigley retires more than 2 years after her final Sky game: ‘Finally and officially say goodbye'
CHICAGO — Allie Quigley never meant to end her career with an Irish goodbye. The longtime Chicago Sky star jokingly acknowledged her quiet exit in a Players Tribune column on Tuesday as she formally announced her retirement from the WNBA — nearly three years after playing her final game for the Sky in September 2022. Quigley left the game as one of the sharpest shooters in the history of women's basketball, winning four 3-point contests at WNBA All-Star weekend. She remains the Sky's leading 3-point scorer after making 504 baskets behind the arc while shooting 39.5% across her career with the franchise. For a decade, the Sky were defined by one dynamic partnership: Quigley and her wife, Courtney Vandersloot. The pair of guards shared a car on the way from the airport to Sky training camp in 2013, an introduction that sparked one of the strongest connections in the WNBA on and off the court. Over the next decade, the pair married, recruited top talent to Chicago and established a legacy as they led the Sky to their first-ever WNBA title. Playing for the Sky always meant something more for Quigley, who grew up in Joliet and played four years at DePaul. That commitment to her hometown team was a foundational piece of the Sky's success throughout otherwise challenging seasons that defined the first half of her career. 'The main thing was that people wanted to play the style that we play,' Quigley told the Tribune in 2022. 'It wasn't 'Oh, I want to come to Chicago for their gym or to live in the city.' They want to play our style of basketball and that superseded everything. That's something we definitely take pride in.' Quigley initially felt ready to retire after winning the title in 2021, but she decided to play one final season. After quietly stepping away from the game in 2022, she turned her focus to her next priority: having a baby. Although the couple had been ready to start a family after their wedding in 2018, Quigley wrote that they felt inhibited by the grueling cycle of playing overseas in the offseason and the respective arcs of their careers with the Sky. But Quigley was still hopeful that if her first pregnancy was quick and successful, she might be able to return and play one more year. The process took longer than expected. Two more WNBA seasons stretched past. And Quigley wrote that the birth of her daughter Jana in April confirmed her readiness to say goodbye to professional basketball for good. 'I know I speak for both myself and Courtney when I tell you that as special as the Sky winning a championship felt, and as proud of a moment as that was, bringing a baby into the world is our accomplishment we're most proud of,' Quigley wrote in The Players Tribune. 'It was the greatest day of our lives. There's nothing like it. But also, now that Jana is here, I feel ready to finally and officially say goodbye to my basketball career.' Quigley's announcement is somewhat bittersweet, coming less than 24 hours after Vandersloot suffered a season-ending ACL injury in Saturday's loss to the Indiana Fever at the United Center. Captaining the Sky once again, Vandersloot's return was key for the team's development after a tumultuous 2024 season. But the legacy forged by Vandersloot and Quigley in Chicago is untouchable. The pair will be in the franchise's history books for years — if not decades — to come as the first and second all-time leaders in points, assists and games played. Now, all that's left is another jersey to be hung in the rafters at Wintrust Arena, where Quigley is already memorialized in the DePaul Hall of Fame.

Milwaukee Brewers' Top Prospect Jacob Misirowski Has 103-MPH Fastball
The Milwaukee Brewers are bringing up Jacob Misiorowski's 103-mile-an-hour fastball to face the ultimate test against MLB hitters. The Brewers don't even want the slender 6-foot-7 right-hander throwing that fast all the time. They would prefer he mix in his sharp curveball and slider while continuing to try and master a changeup, too. 'Part of maturing is understanding your level of effort,' manager Pat Murphy told Adam McCalvy of in spring training. 'Because you can throw it 100 mph doesn't really mean anything. It's being able to command what you can command. You might be better to command 98 and having your variety of pitches and staying ahead in the count, rather than being all heat and being behind 3-and-1 and having 30-pitch innings. You're not going to get to the big leagues having 30-pitch innings. 'He's a smart kid. He'll get it. I think he's got a great future.' MARYVALE, AZ: Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers pitches against the Cincinnati Reds at ... More American Family Fields of Phoenix on March 16, 2025. (Photo by Chris Bernacchi/Diamond Images via Getty Images) Misiorowski 'got it' this season at Triple-A Nashville. He struck out 80 and allowed a measly 38 hits across 63 1/3 innings. He did it by throwing all his pitches, highlighted by the heater. When he fanned 11 in a masterful mid-May outing, however, Nashville manager Rick Sweet talked more about the changeup than other pitches. 'It just adds to everything he does,' Sweet told Ben Weinrib of 'When you get a power pitcher like that, in my career, you see guys, they get high pitch counts early because guys foul them off. You throw a changeup like he has now, that's a swing and miss pitch, and that finishes off.' Misiorowski already one of the longest names in the game at 11 letters. He's already the biggest name from Grain Valley. Mo., 23 miles east of Kansas City. There he was an all-state pick with a 9-2 record and 1.48 ERA as a junior for the Grain Valley High School Eagles. His senior season was wiped out by the Covid-19 outbreak and he signed to play at Oklahoma, then changed his mind. He went to Crowder College, 160 miles almost due south in Neosho, Mo. That put him on the Brewers' radar even before he compiled a 10-0 record with a 2.72 ERA and 136 strikeouts in 76 innings. MILWAUKEE: Aaron Ashby of the Milwaukee Brewers pitches against the Colorado Rockies at American ... More Family Field on Sept. 6, 2024. (Photo by) The Brewers had selected left-hander Andy Ashby from Crowder in the fourth round in 2018. He recently rejoined Milwaukee's rotation from a stint on the injured list. Ashby got $520,000 to sign as the 125th overall choice. Misiorowski got $2.35 million as pick No. 63 four years later. That kept him from transferring to Louisiana State as planned. 'I'm just a kid from Grain Valley who always had a dream to play pro ball and here we are now!' he said then. In 68 games including 55 starts in the minors, Misiorowski has yielded only 138 hits in 233 2/3 innings. His ratio of 5.3 hits per nine innings is much better than what such notable stars as Max Scherzer, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and Justin Verlander achieved before throwing a pitch in the majors. OAKLAND: Randy Johnson of the Seattle Mariners pitches against the Oakland Athletics at he ... More Oakland-Alameda County Colosseum during the 1993 season. (Photo by Ron Vesely/MLB Photos via Getty Images) His ratio of 12.3 strikeouts per nine innings, is better than anyone has achieved for a career in the big leagues. The one area where he needs to significantly improve is walks. He has walked 5.4 per innings as a pro (140 in 233 2/3 innings). It is doubtful that he would have a long career in the majors with such a ratio. It would rank second-worst all-time to 1958 Cy Young winner Bob Turley's, 5.6 for his career. Turley had only a 4.7 ratio when he went 21-7 for the New York Yankees and won the 1958 Cy Young Award. When he went 14-15 for the 1954 Baltimore Orioles, 'Bullet Bob' led the Al strikeouts (185) AND walks (181) Misiorowski did lower his walks to 4.4 per nine this year at Nashville. That's still in the range of what notorious wild men Sam McDowell (4.74) and Nolan Ryan (4.67) did in their MLB careers. Fans were excited to see the big prospect in Milwaukee's Spring Breakout game against the Cincinnati Reds on March 16, One look at him warming up showed the kid was something special. As did getting four strikeouts and a groundout. But the rest of the results were disastrous. MESA, AZ: Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers pitches in a spring training game against the ... More Chicago Cubs at Sloan Park on March 11, 2025. (Photo by Rob Leiter/MLB Photos via Getty Images) He hit the first batter he faced, gave up a double and two-run triple in the first inning. In the second, he walked the first batter and sent him to second with a balk. After two strikeouts, he fired a wild pitch, gave up an RBI triple and was replaced. He didn't hang his head when reassigned to the minors. Misiorowski worked on all his pitches, which set up the fastball. On May 15, one of his offerings was timed at 103, the fastest in the game at any level this year. Misiorowski, 23, needs to refine his release point, something that such tall pitchers find challenging. Johnson struggled for years in that regard. It may take just as long with the Brewers' big fella. There are a lot of moving parts and getting everything in sync can be tough – but must be done to consistently throw strikes. He also needs a nickname. Frankly, typing Misiorowski. It's about as easy for me as it is for him to consistently throw strikes. 'Swing And Mis' sounds good, but just as long though not as challenging to type. 'Big Jake'? Maybe. 'The Miz'? Possibly. Anybody have a clue? Leave it in the comments below.

Red Sox ticket and merchandise sales see an immediate spike after call-up of top prospect Roman Anthony
'That generally happens when a team clinches the playoffs or makes it to the next round,' said Holzman, who indicated that before the call-up, tickets he had not already given away to charity because he knew he would be stuck with them were selling for half price. 'It's not normal. In my 40 years of doing this, the last time I saw anything resembling this was November of 2015 after David Ortiz announced his retirement, and the Red Sox said they were going to honor him in the last game of the 2016 season.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The bounce continued into this homestand, with post-announcement sales doubling for Tuesday night's game and tripling for Wednesday night, Holzman said. Advertisement The Yankees are in town this weekend, and with the Sox taking two of three in the Bronx last weekend, Holzman said there's 'renewed interest' in those tickets. NESN said Tuesday it set a record on its streaming platform. NESN 360 had the highest unique audience for any live event during Monday's Red Sox broadcast, with the total audience on the platform 18 percent higher than the previous record, which was set on Opening Day this season. NESN also said more than 80 percent of NESN 360 subscribers tuned in at some point to see Anthony's first game. Advertisement Bobby D'Angelo, an owner of Twins Enterprise that runs the Red Sox Team Store outside Fenway Park, hopes his business will be able to jump on the Anthony bandwagon. He's placed a large order to have more Anthony jerseys and T-shirts for sale, hopefully in time for the Yankees series. D'Angelo has to be cautious about placing too big of an order too soon, given the chance that despite the considerable hype surrounding Anthony, he may need more seasoning later in the year. Another factor to consider is Anthony's current uniform number, 48. 'That doesn't sound like Yaz or Ted Williams to me, that's a rough number,' said D'Angelo. 'But believe me, we have got orders in for Anthony. We want him.' Eventually, D'Angelo expects Anthony to rival fellow outfielder and current Red Sox merchandise leader 'by a mile,' Jarren Duran. 'I can tell you right now he and Duran will be 1 and 2 — all he's got to do is be a .250 hitter,' said D'Angelo. 'They're going to love this guy.' Holzman ascribed some powerful comps when it comes to the hopes and dreams surrounding Anthony. 'How long have we been hearing about him? It's like Cooper Flagg and AJ Dybantsa,' said Holzman. 'He's got the name, he's got the looks, he's got the attitude, everything you read about him, he's the real deal, right? I don't think since Mookie [Betts] has there been this kind of excitement.'
