Updates on the Phillies-Braves game: Perfect weather in Philadelphia for Game 3

Following Thursday’s storm, the weather at Citizens Bank Park should be near-perfect on Friday, when the Phillies host their first playoff game in 11 years.

Bring a sweater or light jacket to the game and leave the rain gear at home.

The sky should be a classic October deep blue with little cloud traffic, according to Matthew Brudy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Office in Mount Holly.

In the early going, Friday appears to be a good day to be a fan or a pitcher, but not necessarily a right fielder. The sun’s last rays will shine directly into right field when the game begins at 4:37 p.m.

The temperature is expected to be in the low 60s during the game, dropping to the upper 50s after sunset. The wind will be almost non-existent, blowing at less than 5 mph from the left-field line to the right.

Bring no umbrellas or ponchos because the National Weather Service predicts no rain during the game.
