Cloudy, wet weather to dampen MLB Opening Day activities

April showers will be arriving ahead of schedule for many cities in the eastern United States this week, potentially impacting Thursday's MLB Opening Day activities.

Three of the games scheduled to take place on Thursday in Detroit, New York and Atlanta will face cloudy and damp weather.

"As a cold front stretches from the Ohio and Tennessee valleys up into the eastern Great Lakes on Thursday, some of the baseball games for Opening Day may be impacted," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Ryan Adamson.

While seasonal temperatures in the low 50s might feel mild compared to the recent chill in Detroit, spectators will still want to pack extra layers in order to stay dry.
