The City of Brotherly Love is gearing up for a mixed bag of spring weather, with forecasters predicting everything from isolated showers to sunny highs that could touch the mid-80s by early next week, according to the National Weather Service's latest updates. Philadelphians should be ready to dodge some raindrops with a low 20% chance of precipitation today and the isolated showers expected after 11 a.m., though the sun will still make an appearance as temperatures are predicted to climb near a pleasant 70 degrees.

As the day progresses, winds will shift from southwest to northwest, teasing out cooler air that will see tonight's temperatures dip to around 40 degrees, the North wind gusting at about 10 mph, bringing a chill that will have locals reaching for their light jackets. Thursday promises clearer skies and uninterrupted sunshine that will brighten the city, a welcome sight with the high sitting comfortably at 59 degrees, and as the workweek winds down, Friday is set to offer more sunny respite and a slightly warmer high of around 63 degrees.

Those planning weekend activities can expect a mostly cloudy canvas on Saturday with temperatures hovering in the low 60s, but Sunday ushers in almost summer-like warmth, jumping to a high near 79 degrees, for everyone eager to soak in the springtime sun, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures are set to climb even higher by Monday, with a high reaching near 85 degrees, providing a preview of the balmy days ahead.

However, come Tuesday, the potential for showers looms once again with a 30% chance of rain, though the day is expected to remain mostly sunny with a high near 81, this brief return of rainfall reminding us that April showers are not quite in the rearview mirror just yet, the unsettled dance between spring's warmth and its capricious wet spells continues to play out over Philadelphia.
