PHILADELPHIA, PA - Cloudy skies linger over the Philadelphia area on Friday, offering a mild day with highs in the low 70s. While a few sprinkles may grace the region, the overall rainfall is expected to be lighter than Thursday's showers.
The afternoon could bring a glimmer of sunshine as a weather system approaches from the west, potentially creating breaks in the cloud cover. If you're planning an evening outdoors, the temperature might not be balmy, but the reprieve from the overcast skies should make for a pleasant atmosphere.
