You thought today was nice? Wait until the end of the week.
Philadelphians enjoyed the warm weather Saturday as temperatures crept up to 66 degrees but will soon dip down to 47 degrees tonight, according to the National Weather Service.
Saturday's weather almost hit record temperatures – it reached 69 degrees in 2011, according to AccuWeather.
