Brace yourselves, Philadelphians. According to the National Weather Service, you're in for some chilly temperatures and a bit wind today. The latest weather update shows mostly cloudy skies with a stingy 21°F, and winds blowing from the northwest at 18 mph. If you must venture outside, prepare to face a harsh wind chill that makes it feel a meager 6°F.

Today's forecast is promising a bit of sunlight amongst the clouds, with a peak temperature edging near 28°F. Watch out for those strong gusts, which can reach as high as 30 mph, a detail not to be overlooked in the National Weather Service's report. The good news is the harsh chill is expected to subside slightly as we head into the night, with temperatures dropping to around 17°F and the northwest wind calming down to a more gentle 5 to 10 mph pace.

Looking ahead, tomorrow won't bring much reprieve from the cold. It's predicted to be a day with increasing clouds and a high creeping up to 31°F. Winds will maintain their presence at 5 to 10 mph, so it's another day to keep your coat close. Come tomorrow night, temperatures will dip again to around 19°F, under mostly cloudy skies and with North wind wrapping around 5 mph, as per the National Weather Service forecast.

The latter part of the week holds a potential, albeit slight, change in the skies. There's a 20% chance of snow commencing after 1 p.m. on Thursday. While largely cloudy, a high near 29°F is expected, paired with a northwest wind at 5 to 10 mph and gusts that might assert themselves up to 20 mph. Transitioning into the evening, temperatures are set to hover around 22°F under partly cloudy night skies.
