The Chicago White Sox will throw out the first pitch on their 2024 season on Thursday at Guaranteed Rate Field, but what kind of weather will await them as the game gets underway?

The White Sox will welcome the Detroit Tigers to town on Thursday, with a first pitch set for 3:10 p.m.

According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, the temperature at that time will be hovering right around 50 degrees, with partly cloudy skies in the forecast.

The one interesting note about the forecast could be the wind, with breezy conditions possible Thursday afternoon according to forecast models. Some gusts could hit 20 miles per hour, with the wind blowing out of the west at 10 miles per hour during the game.

Those winds out of the west would be blowing roughly out to left field inside of Guaranteed Rate Field, potentially giving right-handed hitters a bit of a boost as they face Tarik Skubal and company.
