Philadelphia residents can expect a mix of wintry precipitation and cloudy skies, as noted by the latest update from the National Weather Service (NWS) in Philadelphia.

According to the detailed forecast on the NWS website, today will bring rain, predominantly between the hours of 8 am and 3 pm, with an anticipated high of 41°F.
