Cloudy skies and a slight drizzle may be in store for Philadelphians today as the National Weather Service predicts a chance of showers with a modest rise in temperature to a comfortable 63 degrees; an east wind will usher in this change at a calm pace of 5 to 10 mph, keeping the city under a watchful, gray embrace, the odds of rain standing at 20%, as per NWS.

The forecast isn't looking much brighter as we move into the night, with a 50% chance of rainfall and a stubborn cloud cover setting the stage for a damp evening while temperatures are expected to hover around 50 degrees, the east wind's persistence around 10 mph may just disturb any stray umbrellas, and new precipitation amounts are touted to be less than a tenth of an inch however, not enough to flood the streets but definitely enough to wet the pavements and make that night-time stroll a soggy affair.

As Sunday approaches, residents should gear up for likelier showers after 2pm, and with a cloudy curtain set to remain drawn across the sky, thermometers will echo today's high of 63 degrees, southeastern breezes threatening to sway at 10 mph, and chances of rain increasing to 60%, with new precipitation potentially ranging between a tenth and quarter of an inch.

Looking ahead to Sunday night, the likelihood of precipitation doesn't wane, promising showers primarily before the witching hour, while temperatures are expected to drop to a mild 59 degrees, a south wind will blow at a gentle 5 to 10 mph lulling the city into a wet slumber, chances of rainfall pegged at 70%, and newcomers to the city might find this typical for an East Coast spring but for the locals, it's just another reason to sigh and stay indoors.

According to the National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook, beyond tonight, there's no significant threat of severe weather, but Philadelphians should still keep their rain boots handy as minor coastal flooding could dampen weekend plans on both Sunday and Monday.
