New York had been scheduled to begin the contest at 7:05 pm ET, but the team confirmed that the game would not get underway at the planned time.<\/p>\n

When will the game start?<\/p>\n

The Yankees announced the delay on X, adding that another update would follow once more information became available.<\/p>\n

“Please be advised we do not intend to start tonight\u2019s game on time. Information will be provided as it is received,” the team tweeted.<\/p>\n

A revised first-pitch time has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n

Bronx weather forecast<\/p>\n

Meteorologist Kevin Roth had already anticipated a delay, expressing confidence that the weather would prevent the game from starting as scheduled.<\/p>\n

Roth wrote<\/a> on X at 5:50 p.m. EDT: \u201cA couple of games that are not gonna start on time: PHI and NYY. Of the two, I think PHI clears quicker, and is less at risk of a PPD.\u201d<\/p>\n

The weather outlook for the Bronx showed a high risk of thunderstorms around the scheduled first pitch. According to Weather.com, there was a 93% chance of thunderstorms at 7 p.m. EDT, followed by a 61% chance at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

The threat was expected to ease considerably by 9 p.m., when the chance of thunderstorms dropped to 15%, with mostly cloudy conditions forecast.<\/p>\n

Weather halts other games as well<\/p>\n

The weather also disrupted the Philadelphia Phillies’ home game against the Toronto Blue Jays, with the contest unable to begin at its scheduled 6:40 p.m. ET start time.<\/p>\n
