Players and fans at tonight’s Game 5 of the World Series in Philadelphia will see weather better suited to football than the game of summer.

Think cool, windy and damp. The weather service office that covers Philadelphia says temperatures at the 8:29 p.m. start should be about 50 and slowly crawl downward as the game goes on. With the 10-mph wind out of the northwest, it will feel like the mid-40s.

By 11 p.m., the temperature will drop to about 46, and the wind chill will make it feel like 41.

Rain is in the forecast, but the weather service doesn’t expect the washout conditions that delayed Saturday night’s game. The game will probably start dry,  but a few showers may pop up before the it’s over. There’s a 20 percent chance of rain starting about 9 p.m. Heavier rain is expected after midnight if the game drags into a lot of extra innings.
