The Phillies postponed Saturday night's game against the New York Mets due to the storm. It will be made up on Thursday, Aug. 16 as part of a single-admission doubleheader starting at 4:05 p.m. All gates will open at 3:05 p.m.
Those holding tickets for Saturday night's game will be able to exchange them for tickets to the Aug. 16 doubleheader or any remaining Phillies home game in 2018.
By Mother’s Day itself, the severe weather will be done, but a nuisance on and off rain will keep conditions damp and dreary for brunch and any other activities planned. You’ll need a jacket and an umbrella.
The best chance for rain will take place during the morning, but another round of showers can’t be ruled out for the afternoon. The biggest change everyone will notice are the temperatures, which will be about 30 degrees cooler at times than Saturday afternoon. The high is forecast at just 60 in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon.
