PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- While you'll want the jacket Sunday morning, the end of the weekend will be much more mild than the start.

High temperatures will be close to 59 degrees today, and with weaker winds, the feels-like temperatures will be much close to the actual temp as compared to Saturday. With a high of 59, we're only about two degrees below average for this time of the year.

While it'll be mostly sunny today, we can't rule out a stray sprinkle or period of clouds. But overall, the day stays quiet and mild.

If you're heading to Lincoln Financial Field for Day Two of WrestleMania 40, expect temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s throughout the early evening.

  • 6:30 p.m.: 57 degrees, partly cloudy
  • 7:30 p.m.: 56 degrees, partly cloudy

Early week warming

A high-pressure system that fills in early this week will help temperatures climb into the high 60s and even 70s this week.

On Tuesday we could get up to 75 degrees!

Eclipse weather in Philadelphia

While temperatures will be mild Monday with highs near 65 degrees, some patchy clouds could have an impact on our local solar eclipse viewing.

According to meteorologist Kate Bilo, clouds at the time of the eclipse should be patchy enough that we can still see the celestial phenomenon.
