For the Minnesota Twins home opener on Friday, April 3, 2026, expect cold and wet conditions at Target Field, with temperatures around 40°F, feels-like temperatures in the 30s, and a high chance of rain. East winds at 5-10 mph will add to the chill. Rain is expected, and it may be uncomfortable, so warm, waterproof gear is recommended. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Game Day Forecast (April 3, 2026):

• Temperature: Low 40s°F (approx. \(4^{\circ}C\) to \(5^{\circ}C\)).
• Conditions: Rain likely, overcast, and cold.
• Wind: NE 5-10 mph.
• Recommendation: Bundle up, consider gloves and a scarf. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Footnotes in a Game Thread? What has this site come to?

Next thing we know, there will be math.

Already escorting you out of the stadium?

Crazy, multiple blocks of downtown are without power as well.

If it was only Target Field now that would look suspicious 😁

Up here in North Dakota, the weather forecasters have, when the weather is bad, taken to tell us how to dress, how to shovel snow, how to drive on ice, etc.  Apparently we are too dumb to figure these things out ourselves, or even look it up ourselves.  I see the people at Target Field feel the need to do the same.

Playing in the City of Minneapolis.  What could go wrong?  
or Maybe Excel Energy is just showing mercy to the Twins fans.

Some kind of power outage at Target Field...and the electricity/lights went out too. 😜

[C-Gangster]

Estimated start time now: 4:05 pm

My guess is this won't be the only kind of power outage we see at Target Field this season.

The team improved from yesterday too 😁 

How soon will Culpepper be summoned from SP??  It can't be soon enough, IMO, regardless of how he's played so far.

MSN weather shows rain heading for the Twin Cities but , if the forecast is close to right, will end around  3 P.M.

Same map shows it is supposed to be snowing St.Cloud area right now but is not at this time.

Did they forecast any power outages at Target Field this afternoon?  LOL

Man, Gladden isn't great at killing time.

"You know, I used to stand in the locker room and just watch Hrbek get dressed......"

Not sure how that sentence ended as I couldn't hear over the sound of me laughing.

In non Twins related baseball news, MLB number one overall prospect Konnor Griffin just hit an RBI double in his first ever big league at-bat

Then scored one or two pitches later on a single.  Flying around third like he was sporting wings.

Pirates fans going nuts.
