The weather tonight in Philadelphia will swap the constant rain of Monday for constant wind and cold tonight.

The whole Northeast is being pounded by a strong area of low pressure, and there’s 5 inches of snow in the mountains 90 minutes west of Philadelphia.

The rain during the day should at least slack off by game time if Major League Baseball decides to resume the game suspended on Monday night. But there’s still a 40 percent chance in the forecast for tonight. That’s down from the 100 percent chance during the day.

And there will be wind. Lots of it. The weather service says sustained winds by game time should be 20 to 25 mph and gusts up to 45 mph. The temperature won’t be that bad if you’re a penguin, someplace in the low 40s to high 30s.

The wind, though, will make it feel like the low 20s.

If baseball officials decide to wait for Wednesday, the weather improves with little chance of rain and a whole lot less wind.
