Philadelphia residents can expect to embrace a mixed bag of spring weather, starting off with patchy morning fog and sunshine, and potentially ending with rain showers by the weekend. This forecast was outlined by the National Weather Service in their latest update, which indicates a mostly sunny day today with a calm breeze transitioning from west to south-west, and a pleasant high near 79 degrees. Riding the tranquility of the calm wind, Philadelphians should thoroughly enjoy the warmth—before the weather prepares to make a fickle turn.

Sun lovers should make to apparently take advantage of the clear skies while they last, as patchy fog is expected again early tonight and into Thursday morning. Despite this, Thursday is predicted to heat up with a high near 85 degrees, according to the detailed forecast provided by the National Weather Service on their website. Notwithstanding the foggy interruptions, the wind is expected to pick up, with gusts that could reach up to 20 mph, a subtle herald of the changing conditions to come.

Friday's conditions will slightly dip to a cooler high near 69 degrees with partly sunny skies— a precursor to a possibly dreary weekend, as chances of showers climb by Saturday afternoon. The National Weather Service advises a 30% chance of precipitation that escalates to a 60% likelihood of showers during Saturday night. It's a gentle nudge for the city's dwellers to keep their umbrellas close and their plans flexible.

As Sunday approaches, the weather service warns of a 70% chance of showers throughout the day, urging Philadelphians to possibly brace for dampened spirits and soggy streets. The city should remain on alert as the chance of precipitation drops slightly to 40% by Sunday night according to the National Weather Service. Into the early days of next week, the city could see a resurgence of sun on Monday, before another stretch of mostly cloudy skies by nighttime. Tuesday, holding promise, is presently pegged at a high near 78 degrees.
