Devin will be disappointed by the weather.

Overnight the weather became stormy and even increased in intensity before Devin woke up. The description "continued ceaselessly" also gives the reader the impression that the rain will not stop soon. Baseball is not a sport that is played during rainstorms, so the tournament will most likely be cancelled or postponed. This is not the outcome Devin wants. His preparation for the tournament that he is excited and eager to play. The weather will disappoint him since it means he won't be able to play.

Devin will be disappointed by the weather.

Explanation:

The passage starts with Devin sleeping "soundly, dreaming of his baseball tournament". This indicates that he's already had a great start, comfortably sleeping. He is in a relaxed mode as he'd done all the necessary things needed for tomorrow's tournament. But then the weather changed and it began raining "ceaselessly", giving the impression that it will most likely continue raining the throughout the night and even maybe the next morning. Also, this will have an adverse affect on the game as baseball is not a game that can be played in a weather like that. So, the best prediction is that he will be disappointed by the weather, rendering him helpless and unable to do what he had been looking forward to.
