Events to road conditions: Potential impacts with Pinpoint Weather Alert Day Tuesday
DENVER (KDVR) — With a Pinpoint Weather Alert Day on Tuesday, snow and rain could have an impact on events and even driving, depending on where you are headed.
Whether you have tickets to the Rockies game or a Red Rocks concert, there are several events scheduled for Tuesday, as forecasts are showing the potential of almost an inch of rain accumulating in the metro.

'This is one of those forecasts that's just not going to be the best conditions,' Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Travis Michels said. 'It's not like little rain at Red Rocks. It's going to be steady rain and then maybe even seeing some flakes out by the foothills, which would not be fun to enjoy a concert in town.'
With a full lineup of concerts this week, FOX31 checked in with the city to see if there are any planned changes to the Red Rocks concert on Tuesday. We are told that ticket holders will be notified if there are any delays or cancellations. Plus, there will be information about weather impacts at redrocksonline.com.
'It's an interesting forecast,' Michels said. 'I'll say that with the temperatures that we're going to get above seven, 7,500 feet, they can get more snow there.'
CDOT tells FOX31 its teams will be ready across the state for Tuesday's weather.
With one to two feet totals likely over Berthoud, Loveland, eastern Kenosha, Wilkerson, Wolf Creek, and La Veta Passes, CDOT Communications Director Matt Inzeo says, Tuesday and Wednesday look especially difficult for travel.
These areas will see the most rain during Tuesday's storm
'While this isn't a timeframe that sends people from the Front Range up to ski, travel from or through the high country will see delays and hazardous conditions,' Inzeo said. 'Our teams will be in snow shift throughout this storm in all of the affected areas, with particular focus on all of those high mountain passes.'
While Denver won't see snow, it could get a good amount of rain — almost an inch, which Michels says would be equivalent to almost 10 inches of snow if it were cold enough in the city.
'We can see puddling, creeks and streams can overflow,' Michaels said. 'We're talking about those little spots on the street that tend to always puddle up with the water. That's going to be an issue for Tuesday.'
FOX31 reached out to the Rockies ahead of Tuesday's scheduled game. If we receive any information about delays or cancellations, we will share updates here.

Reds star, Mariners pitcher, MLB umpire buckle under extreme heat
Summer has just begun and forecasters are already sounding the alarm bells about a deadly round of severe weather working its way across much of the USA. As a storm system brought high winds and tornados across the Midwest and Northeast on Saturday, exceedingly high temperatures elsewhere took a toll on outdoor activities – including Major League Baseball games. In St. Louis and Chicago, the mercury topped the 90 degree mark, coupled with high humidity, driving the heat index above 100. Those conditions led to incidents in each game – both of which lasted over three hours – in which players and umpires had to seek treatment. Reds' Elly De La Cruz vomits on field With two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning in St. Louis, Reds star Elly De La Cruz vomited on the infield dirt near his position at shortstop. An athletic trainer came out to check on him as the grounds crew cleaned up the field. "I actually watched him," Reds manager Terry Francona said. 'He drank a bunch of water. I mean, a bunch, and then he went right out and got rid of it.' De La Cruz stayed in the game. Just an inning earlier, De La Cruz hit a two-out triple and tried to score as the throw came in from the outfield, but he was thrown out. Then later in the seventh, he was able to stroll all the way around the bases after hitting a 435-foot home run in a game the Reds eventually lost 6-5 in 11 innings.. Umpire, Mariners' Trent Thornton succumb to heat at Wrigley Following the fifth inning of the Mariners-Cubs game in Chicago, home plate umpire Chad Whitson left the field and received treatment from athletic trainers in the Seattle dugout. After a 10-minute delay, he was replaced and the game continued with just three umpires. Later in the game, veteran Mariners pitcher Trent Thornton – after going back out for a third inning of work – had to be helped off the field after nearly collapsing behind the mound. "It was a scary moment, for sure," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. "He battled hard. But just really glad that he's feeling a little bit better now and should be OK." At the end of the game, a member of the Cubs field staff also collapsed, but the team said he was okay. Likewise for umpire Whitson; an MLB spokesperson said he was feeling better Saturday night and had been cleared to work third base for Sunday's series finale. Climate change a real issue for MLB Those two games weren't the only ones played in stifling conditions on the first full day of summer. A high-pressure system over the Southeast that meteorologists sometimes refer to as a "ring of fire" resulted in more than 150 million Americans under some kind of advisory or warning for dangerous heat over the weekend. The Brewers-Twins game in Minneapolis was played under an excessive heat warning. And in Denver, the first-pitch temperature of 98 degrees for Rockies-Diamondbacks was highest for a major league game this season. And we're just getting started. Writing for North Side Baseball, Matthew Trueblood points out some of the elevated heat-related dangers umpires face when conditions get excessive. Home plate umps have to wear extra safety equipment for protection from foul balls. They must stay on the field at all times and aren't able to retreat to the dugout or clubhouse between innings. And they're considerably older than the players, making them even more susceptible to heat-related issues. In addition, the problem figures to get worse as the planet continues to warm. Trueblood cites data from the Environmental Protection Agency that shows heat waves (in which temperatures reach dangerous levels for several days) are occurring almost three times as often as they did in the 1960s and roughly twice as often as they did in the 1980s. "For the next several years," Trueblood writes, "baseball will need to be played only when safe, which will mean building in more off days on the long calendar of the season and/or canceling more contests." We already have one MLB stadium damaged to the point of unplayability for 2025 due to an extreme weather event. And along with the Rays in Tampa, the Athletics in West Sacramento, California, are now playing their home games in ballparks that will be among MLB's most extreme for heat and humidity over the summer.
