Opening Day forecast coming into view, and it includes some rain

Let the countdown to Opening Day begin – for the annual holiday’s weather forecast, at least.

The Orioles’ April 6 meeting with the Minnesota Twins is coming into the view of (relatively) reliable forecasting. About 10 days out, AccuWeather is calling for a high of 63 and periods of light rain.

The National Weather Service’s forecasters don’t predict that far out, but its climatologists meanwhile expect cooler than normal temperatures eight to 14 days from now. Normal highs are about 61 degrees. The region is on the edge of a swath of the Northeast with a higher than normal probability of rain, too, according to climatologists.

Too bad we couldn't have banked one of the sunny 75-degree days earlier this month to save for the old ballgame. Of course, the predictions could likely change — forecasting reliability drops off the further you go in the future, particularly if it's more than 10 days out.
