Weather info?

Where do you get your weather info? The Rockies game was listed at 40% but having listed to roto grinders who bring a meteorologist on daily to discuss weather they had this listed as 65% chance of rain with T-Storms moving through the area and a good chance the game does not get played. I think your info has been a bit off on weather which is extremely important and worth looking into to get the most accurate information to players. No quicker way to flush a bankroll to to lose players due to weather.

We're currently using XML Team which gets their weather form The Sports Network.  We'll have a new data source for the boxscores as part of adding the advanced stats (wOBA, etc.), and they will offer a second source of weather too.

It stands for Weighted On-Base Average and is described here:

Tornado watch in the area. Awful storms passed through with some more that could trail it. Could start late. Not even any weather info listed...

Currently not showing any rain risk for LAD @ STL but tarp is on the field and the weather is iffy. Wash @ Cin is showing 50% risk but seems to be clear for tonight.

BBM uses Fantasy Alarm for info alerts, I would suggest using them for weather too. They seem to do a good job with weather.

Yes, improvements need to be made here.  FantasyAlarm does not offer a weather feed, but it looks like we can get weather directly from Weather Underground using their API.  We'll make this a higher priority.
