Last night’s World Series game (#3) in Philadelphia was postponed as rain broke out ahead of a cold frontal system that will swing through the region this morning. This is not the first time in recent history that rain has had an impact on World Series games in Philadelphia. The weather does look quite favorable in Philly for the next three nights following the passage of the cold front which should allow World Series games 3, 4 and 5 to go off without a hitch. After an off day on Friday, the Astros and Phillies will travel back to Houston – if necessary – for games 6 and 7 now scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Houston’s Minute Maid Park has a retractable roof so weather would not be a concern and the roof was closed for the first two games of the series.

A cold front will swing through the region this morning and drier air will arrive later in the day and high pressure takes control of the weather for the remainder of the week. In fact, sunshine should return in full force on Wednesday and temperatures will be quite mild through the rest of the week.

High pressure will move offshore today and a low pressure system will push into the Mid-Atlantic region from the Tennessee Valley. As a result, showers are a threat here by early tonight - possibly just in time to have an impact on World Series Game #3 which is set to start around 8pm - and a thunderstorm is possible in the late night hours. High pressure will return by mid-week with dry weather and milder-than-normal temperatures for the second half of the week.

High pressure from the Great Lakes will remain in control today as it slides to our north and it should provide enough protection for us to have a pretty decent weekend with lots of brilliant colors to enjoy on the trees. An area of weak low pressure will push in this direction by Monday (Halloween Day and also World Series Game #3 in Philly) with some shower activity, but it doesn’t look like a significant rain event.

A cool front passed through the region on Wednesday night and a cooler, drier air mass will push into the area today on increasing northerly winds. High pressure from the Great Lakes will take control as it slides to our north during the next day or so and it should provide enough protection for us to have a decent weekend. An area of weak low pressure could push in this direction on Monday (Halloween Day and also World Series game #3 in Philly) with some shower activity.

Plenty of moisture remains entrenched in the lower levels of the atmosphere and this will result in one more day featuring plenty of clouds around here and additional light rain/drizzle and some patchy fog. A weakening cool front will cross the region tonight and it’ll have enough strength to produce clearing in the late night hours and the sun should return on Thursday to go along with a noticeable breeze. High pressure is likely to hang on long enough to result in decent weather here on Friday and for much of this weekend, but upstream disturbances could threaten us with some shower activity by early next week.

Low pressure that formed off the east coast this weekend continues to lift northward at a snail’s pace and low-level moisture will remain abundant for another couple of days. In addition to the clouds today and Wednesday, there will be light rain or drizzle and patchy fog across the region. A cool front crosses the area on Wednesday night and sunshine should return on Thursday in the wake of the frontal passage.

Low pressure that formed off the east coast this weekend will pass by to our northeast today and high pressure will begin to get re-established in the Mid-Atlantic region. Later this week, the chance of showers will increase again as another low pressure system will push towards the Great Lakes from the south-central states. This system will swing a cold front in our direction raising the chances at mid-week for shower activity in the region.

Slightly milder air will move into the region today as a light south-to-southwesterly flow of air forms on the backside of a departing high pressure system. Temperatures today will climb to the lower 60’s and then into the mid or upper 60’s on Saturday afternoon with some sunshine on both days. The weather for the Phillies playoff game tonight looks good and likely for tomorrow night as well, but it’ll become somewhat questionable on Sunday as a coastal low threatens to bring us showers during the second half of the weekend.

It’ll remain on the chilly side for another 24 hours or so in the Philly metro region and then slightly milder air will move in for the weekend as a south-to-southwesterly low-level flow forms on the backside of departing high pressure. Temperatures today will hold in the 50’s for afternoon highs, drop to frosty levels once again late tonight, and then reach near the 60 degree mark on Friday afternoon. Dry weather should prevail into the first half of the weekend, but a coastal low could bring us showers for the second half of the weekend.
