Breaking out those sunglasses might not be a bad idea today with the Philadelphia area expecting a dash of sunshine and a high near 66 degrees. The northwest wind may shake things up a bit at 5 to 10 mph and gusts could push as high as 20 mph, but overall, Philadelphians are in for a clear and crisp November day. For those making evening plans, the mercury's plummet to around 40 degrees won't invite any clouds to the party, setting the stage for a mostly clear and calm night, as reported by the National Weather Service.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, the forecast remains agreeable, with another mostly sunny day on the books and temperatures peaking near 61 degrees, though the wind won't be making much noise, staying around a subtle 5 mph before taking a breather in the morning, the weather doesn't seem to be much of a conversationalist mid-week either, with Wednesday's narrative sketched out as slightly uncertain, with a mere 20% chance of showers after 1pm, playing into a cloudy but steady high near 62 degrees, the National Weather Service projects a shift in the tale though with nightfall, as showers are expected to dominate, ushering in a 90% chance of rainfall and potential accumulation between half and three quarters of an inch.
The rest of the week seems to fold into a pattern of meteorological indecision—Thursday whispers a 30% chance of showers before 1pm paired with a partly sunny sky; however, highs are forecasted to dip to the lower end of the 50s. As the city tucks into Thursday evening, the cloud cover thickens yet holds back any promise of precipitation, encapsulating nightfall at about 37 degrees. The cycle of ambiguity continues into Friday with a similar 30 percent prospect of showers post 1pm and partial sun peeking through.
The weekend isn't going to make any show-stopping declarations either; Saturday's partial sunshine is forecasted to warm things up to a high near 51, giving way to a partly cloudy night with temperatures holding at 40 degrees, and Sunday, as relayed by the National Weather Service, will close the week with a mostly sunny day and a modest high near 52. While the skies over Philadelphia may pause and ponder throughout the week, it seems they'll be sparing us any extremes as November days go.
