Not bad at night for the union, the phillies and anything else you want to do in the evening. Then saturday things change. A high of just 65, more clouds and there is the chance of rain periods of it off and on at least through the day and probably kind of a dreary day on saturday. Some models even have some steady rain at times. On sunday clouds and sun, 68. And again a popup shower possible in the morning and maybe a thunderstorm here or there in the afternoon but not as much of a dreary kind of washout day as saturday.
