As the morning haze lifts off the City of Brotherly Love, weather forecasts predict a damp, overcast day ahead for Philadelphians. According to the National Weather Service, the city is nestled in a mist with temperatures hovering at 61°F and visibility limited to five miles. For those venturing out today, scattered showers are on the menu, with a 50% chance of precipitation and less than a tenth of an inch of rainfall expected.

The gloomy weather isn't breaking just yet. Tonight, the prevalence of scattered showers continues, primarily before 9 pm, as the clouds cling to their domain, the humidity high, the wind a mere whisper from the southeast, shifting to a northeast breath post-midnight. The chance of precipitation drops slightly to 30%, but the mugginess persists, making the air feel thicker than what one might hope for an evening in May.

Looking ahead, the weekend promises a respite from the grey. Sunday's skies will clear a bit, heralding a high of 75°F with gentle northeastern breezes brushing against the city's storied buildings and rustling its verdant spring foliage. As the NWS details, fog is expected to settle once more late Sunday night, but it should burn off early Monday, giving way to mostly sunny skies and a high near 78°F.

Early risers on Monday should anticipate patchy fog until about 8am, after which the city will bask under mostly sunny conditions in preparation for a clear and calm night. The selling point of the week appears to be Tuesday, with the NWS forecasting uninterrupted sunshine and temperatures climbing to a comfortable 82°F. Wednesday follows suit,, with continued sunshine and a high of 84°F, though the night could see a change with a 30% chance of showers.
