Discussion

Colder air moved into the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday following the passage of a strong cold front and temperatures will remain below-normal today despite plenty of sunshine. It’ll turn a bit milder on Wednesday and then quite mild by Thursday afternoon with the Phillies home opener scheduled for 4:15 PM (mid-to-upper 60’s). The next front will bring showers here from late Thursday night into early Friday and it’ll turn colder again as we head into the upcoming weekend.
