Philadelphia weather: Lots of sun but breezy and cool Sunday, more rain on Wednesday
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- After an absolute soaker of a Saturday, Sunday will be the better day of the weekend to get outside.
But if you do head out, be sure to layer up. Temperatures Sunday morning were below freezing with wind chills staying below freezing through most of the morning. Winds will be much lighter than yesterday, but still gusting 10-20mph, so while it won't be nearly as windy as it was on Saturday, it'll still be a breezy day, so expect it to feel a bit cooler.
Conditions stay dry Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, which we need after getting more than three inches of rain in Philadelphia on Saturday, before our next chance for rain moves in Wednesday morning.
Next chance for rain
Wednesday arrives with clouds and showers early in the morning, but according to Chief Meteorologist Bill Kelly, this system doesn't appear to be a major weather maker.
We'll be tracking showers up and down the 95 corridor throughout the day and into the evening, but total rainfall is forecast to be somewhere between 0.10 and 0.3 inches.
March has already had 6.74 inches of rain, about 3.8 inches above normal and the wettest March since 2010.
And since the first of the year, Philadelphia has recorded 14.14 inches of precipitation, a whopping 5.32 inches above normal. That also makes it the wettest to date since 1979 and the fourth wettest ever recorded for the time period.
Phillies Opening Day forecast
Philadelphia Phillies baseball returns to Citizens Bank Park on Thursday! First pitch is set for 3:05 p.m. against the Atlanta Braves. High temperatures will be around 55 degrees Thursday with winds from the northeast at 10-20 mph... but again, we may have more rain. Another weather system will move in from the south and that rain/dry line will make all the difference. It just depends on where that low tracks.
