Wednesday's scheduled 1:15 p.m. CT first pitch between the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox has been delayed by rain.

Due to weather in the area, the start of today’s game will likely be delayed. Our intent is to play today’s game once weather allows. We’ll provide an update closer to the initial start time.

Gates to the ballpark will still open at 11:40 a.m. CT. https://t.co/UXRt34FH5q

The White Sox say they're planning to get the game in today once the rain and storms move out of the Chicago area, but based on the simulated future radar from the trusty HRRR model (it's a high resolution radar simulation that meteorologists used for accurate short-term forecasting), storms could linger in Chicago until around dinner time.

Update: First pitch is scheduled for 4:30 p.m., as the two teams are going to try to fit the game in today.
