PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It's a beautiful Saturday with plenty of sunshine. Despite the sun, the weather is a bit chilly, and clouds are expected to build later into the day. 

Cloudy conditions kept the Philadelphia area from viewing the Northern Lights last night, but there is a possibility to view them again tonight if the sky is clear.

The viewing line is already close to Philadelphia and is edging further south. However, the possibility that the area's skies will clear for this event is slim.

Showers will move in Saturday at around 8 p.m. making for a wet and chilly Mother's Day. Sunday is expected to have a 60 percent chance of rain.

The recent dips in temperatures are short-lived as the Delaware Valley will be back to the 70s next week. More showers are also expected in the days ahead. 

The chilly and wet weather will move out of the region by Monday and skies will clear out throughout the day. 

However, once Tuesday arrives it's back to showers with a 70 percent chance of rain. This weather will continue into Wednesday with a 60 percent chance of rain.
