Thanks to everyone who has helped me to develop in the world of baseball analytics over the past few years.

Hard to say much.
Note that the Phillies game would have come under "Cloudy" using this definition of weather. Fastballs show a bit more of a significant change from clear -> cloudy compared to other pitches.
I didn't include snow in the first graph due to a small sample size, but the effect looks big even with a large error bar.

The infield playing in will also have an effect right?
The highest situational babips are generally a runner on third, < 2 outs.
