If you're heading to T-Mobile Park over the next three days as the Seattle Mariners take on the Kansas City Royals, the weather should be great. The roof is expected to be open for all three games with no rain in sight.

The next seven days look fantastic with lots of sunshine and very comfortable late-spring temperatures. There is no rain in the forecast, so now would be a good time to think about watering your lawn and your plants before they get too parched.
