Philadelphia is currently seeing light drizzle and fog, with a humidity level of 93% and a northeast wind at 7 mph.
As detailed by the National Weather Service, Philadelphians can expect showers likely today, coupled with patchy fog between 8am and 4pm.

Moving into the night, showers remain a possibility, especially after the fog patches roll in after 9 p.m., providing a cool low around 65 degrees, and the wind's shift to a northeast flow will hardly ruffle any feathers.
Looking head towards the end of the weekend, the forecast for Sunday suggests a continuance of showers, mainly after 2pm, with cloudy skies persisting and a high once again reaching near 69 degrees. The northeast wind will keep at a steady pace around 10 mph, and while the chance of precipitation drops slightly to 40%, it's wise to keep an umbrella within arm's reach. Sunday night will maintain the chance of showers against a cloudy backdrop as the city cools to a low around 62 degrees.
The theme of showers follows into Monday, with chances spiking mainly after 2pm amidst a cloud-filled sky.

On Tuesday, there is a 50% chance of showers, but by Wednesday, the skies will clear with a high near 72 degrees. Wednesday night may bring cooler air, with temperatures dropping to 54 degrees, leading to sunny days through the weekend.
