September is right around the corner and typically the air would start to cool slightly. Not this week, though. A late summer heat wave in the east half of the U.S. will make it 5-15 degrees warmer than average for most of the week until temps back off slightly by the weekend. It also looks mainly dry this week with only a low threat of rain at a few parks.

Medium range computer models are hinting at cooler air arriving the first week of September, so this week’s warmer/drier weather will probably give us the best hitting conditions that we’ll see for the rest of this dwindling season. Add in the fact that we have a seven game homestand at Coors Field this week plus seven games at Great American Ballpark, and we have ourselves one glorious hitting week ahead. The only thing we’re missing is a series at Wrigley with the wind blowing out, but we can’t expect everything to be perfect.

Here are this week’s games to target or avoid based on the weather. Impatient types may skip to the bottom to find my Weather Winners of the Week and Weather Losers of the Week.
