Chill out — the arctic blast expected to send shivers through summer-ready New Yorkers early Sunday should not spoil the Yankees’ home opener Monday afternoon.

Though flurries of wet snow and chilly 30-degree temperatures are expected to kick off the day, by early afternoon only a few sporadic showers are in store.

“At this point, rainfall doesn’t look heavy enough that it would cancel the baseball game, but I don’t want to rule out any delays,” warned senior AccuWeather meteorologist Andy Mussoline.

The brunt of the storm will pass through the city on Sunday, with gusts of 50 mph to 60 mph starting at 4 a.
