The sun is shining, the clouds are clearing and the rains have moved well to the east.

Tuesday night will be a good one for the Royals-Orioles ALCS baseball game — albeit a bit chilly.

A few scattered clouds will hang around Tuesday, although it will be mostly sunny with temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s, said Dan Hawblitzel, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Brisk northwest winds will blow across the area with gusts between 35 and 40 mph through the afternoon.

The good news is that the rain is finished for the day, Hawblitzel said.

For game time, the area will stay mostly clear with the wind dying down to 10 to 15 mph. Temperatures will steadily drop through the 50s falling to 49 to 50 degrees by the end of the game.

“Definitely no rain, just a little chilly,” Hawblitzel said.

The forecast for Wednesday is also nice — sunny, with light winds and the high around 63.
