Discussion

The next couple of days will remain somewhat unsettled with an upper-level trough hanging nearby and the continuation of a moist low-level onshore flow of air. The pattern will change at mid-week with the passage of a cool frontal system that will kick the moist, maritime air mass out of here, and sunshine should return in full force for the latter part of the week and weekend. Temperatures will remain on the cool side during the next couple of days limited by an abundance of clouds and the persistent onshore flow of air; however, they’ll return to comfortably warm levels later in the week with the return of abundant sunshine. As far as the Phillies are concerned, their “Red October” playoff run begins with two home games this weekend and the weather is looking quite nice for both days.
