NEW YORK — The weather for this year’s World Series continues to be near perfect, with cool but dry conditions prevailing at Yankee Stadium. 

For Game 5 on Wednesday night, it’ll be one of the warmest World Series games in the Bronx since 1996. First-pitch temperature is forecast to be in the upper 60s.

If the series shifts back to Los Angeles, the summer-like temperatures of 76 degrees seen during Game 1 and 77 degrees for Game 2 will be but a memory. 

A dip in the jet stream will keep things cool and unsettled in the West. First-pitch temperatures for Games 6 and 7 will be in the 60s. 

Should the Yankees come back, and the series goes to a decisive Game 7, it’ll get interesting for more reasons than the game itself. There are increasing signs that Los Angeles will see its first rain since May 15 on Saturday.
