The New York Mets announced on Monday that they will hold their seventh annual Weather Educational Day this Thursday, May 17 at Citi Field with PIX 11 with students from the Tri-State area on hand.  New York is slated to take on the Cincinnati Reds in a 1:10 p.m. game afterward.

Those students will be treated to a pre-game meteorology lesson by PIX 11 weather experts Mr. G and Linda Church, who will teach them about weather patterns. The children will also get a behind the scenes look at the PIX11 weather center.

Mr. Met and the Pepsi MAX Party Patrol will also be on hand to entertain students, and shoot t-shirts into the crowd. At the end of the Weather Education Day, the students will get to stay at the park to enjoy the Mets and Reds.

Linda Church will also deliver the PIX11 Morning News from Citi Field beginning at 6:00 a.m. as a part of Weather Education Day.
