You have locker rooms on both sides. You have in the far corner what we got a look at this morning is the nfl combine where you can test yourself with the 40yard dash. You can also do the vertical jump, you can have fun like a kid and you can do that throughout here as we mentioned 26 football fields long but when the Philadelphia Eagles do it tonight as you get the 14ing fifth in the draft is a big one. Will they surround carson wentz with a weapon. Will it be a running back like Christian Mccaffery or wide receiver like Mike Williams out of clemson or they could go defense as well. We have been talking about so many different names, defensively speaking and keep an eye, guys on the local aspect as well, players like tanoh out of villanova and Hassan Reddick from temple. He could go as high as the top 10 so we are looking forward to seeing where the local kids go and what the eagles will obviously do at 14 but as you look behind me as i stand here in this little draft experience box, the future is now. The setup behind me, the stage is ready, the stage is set. It took 96 tractortrailer toss put together and theyre going to break pit down after the draft ends on saturday. But it begins here. Fans are filing in and tonight at 8 oclock is when pick number one goes down. Guys, back to you. Pat i have to ask. Where the people . Im looking behind you. Theres no one there.

Meteorologist Kate Fehlinger is live on the cbs3 sky deck with a look at what we can expect today. Katie it looks beautiful. It really does. Its so comfortable t the slightest breeze. Well take a couple patchy clouds overhead. Its a beautiful beginning to the afternoon here and it promises to stay this way the rest of the day too. Lets go to storm scan. Not a heck of a lot to track folks. Nothing more than a couple clouds far off to the north and west. We take a look at the area temperatures. Its mild out there. 74 already at Philadelphia International airport, upper 60s like trenton even atlantic city. 65 currently in dover, just a bit more cloud cover that they had to breakthroughs but the rest of today does feature brighter conditions nice warmth a very light southerly wind but then later tonight watch for a shower. Now, i dont think that messes with this first round of draft picks. I think overall were just looking at a generally clear sky. Kicking off at 8 00 p. M. On the parkway 70 degrees, that is not bad. Thats actually above where we normally top off for daytime high as of 8 00 p. M. Tonight but there could end up being a shower if not a rumble of thunder later on tonight after we have all checked ourselves in for the night and well talk about what promises to be a pretty active pattern down the road here too a little later on. Guys. Thank you so much katie. Coming up President Trump is about to mark 100 days in office and some phone calls that he made to mexico and canada are making headlines today.

Mr. Trump did add on twitter if a fair deal cannot be reached he may still terminate it. Big changes implemented at United Airlines.

Passengers will now be offered up to 10,000 to be bumped from a flight. The airline says overbooking abreduced and more training will be offered to employees.

Finishing up its mission in space after it falls back to earth after 13 years in orbit. Coming up what the spacecraft has done thats never happened before. Katie. The weekend getting ever closer and right now i think we can generally expect a mix of sun and clouds. Sunday looks like the cloudier of the two days and well likely end up with showers if not a rumble of thunder out there as well. It is going to cool down. Well go from the 80s to the 60s cant a lot of other swings going on on that thermome back now on Eyewitness News. You are getting an out of this world view from Nasas Cassini spacecraft. The mission is set to end in september. The spacecraft is expected to run out of gas by then and crash into saturns atmosphere. Wow. I dont know about that. Amazing. That it would crash. You know me if its going small from the sky its not going to allegedly by the scientists standards but if its going to hit something it will hit me walking down market street. These are things i worry about. Things can go wrong. Hey, this is true but i think youre okay. Okay, all right. I promise you. Youre in safe hands. And i dont think youll need the umbrella for the next couple days. All right. Even despite whats actually still a pretty active pattern which is interesting. We have a couple front moving through but 93 dont necessarily come with poor timing. They actually come with great timing. I think many of you are actually going to be tucked in bed for the night by the time the next exempt for us, well be getting un. Youll see them in the future weather, jim, just hang on here but there are a couple of front that move through the first of which actually comes through tonight interestingly but i think well get through the entire draft experience at least day one without any page hitches. Lets go out there. Well show you whats happening at this very wide zoom on storm scan3. This system if you watched us early in the morning thank you first and foremost but this had a lot more moisture to work with earlier today. This storm system. You can still see this organization with it. This will be a fizzling frontal passage. In other words well see probably a shower along the way, maybe even a rumble of thunder but it will happen overnight and it will also happen in a scattered fashion. This is 11 oclock tonight and its still not even moving into the greater delaware valley. So, well have certainly the entire evening at the draft ninewhere else to get in your grille plans or anything else you might want to do tonight. If we have any showers at all theyll come overnight. About the time jim were waking up 2 00 a. M. Or so o so it will be out there but generally again overnight maybe a lingering leftover shower early tomorrow morning and that is it the rest of the day clears out for sunshine and it looks basically beautiful a lot of people dotting the breach understandably its finally brightening up. Still lingering clouds but it sure beats yesterday and in addition to the fact that we had all that rain come through its not all that bad with air quality. In fact its a very good air quality day but tree pollen its going to get you if you suffer from those allergies so keep that in mind and now that the sun is shine and the u. V. Index goes up as does the heat index for our area for the next couple of days. Meanwhile phillies about ready to take that first take the mound and have their first pitch here. Looks like the sun will shine obviously. Lots of sun this afternoon. 76 at first pitch. Not only do we have the draft but coinciding is the penn relays. Were left with sunshine, temperatures that are going to be rebounding here in the next couple days into the 80s. Saturday is the warmest. Thats the day that it doesnt necessarily come close to the record but it certainly is the day that will do at least very, very harmless flirtation with the record. 85 is the high were pegging to hit. I dont think well come close to the record but it is the warmest day of this forecast. There are a couple of front that come in so in short late tonight, then again into saturday night and then possibly sunday and or monday a few showers and thunderstorms work their way through from a series of fronts but notice the flipflopping on that thermometer. Mid 80s, mid 60s, upper 70 fall a three day stretch. Weather whiplash. I like that. Im going to steal that. For draft purposes, its timed out americaly. Exactly. A montana we woulder is welder is taking his unique characters to the street. Bulls eye, minions can be seen in the town of shepherd. Theyre made out of propane tanks and posts them in front of his gates for everyone to z he says the people who see them sometimes leave heartwarming notes to express just how much they love his characters. I think i also saw a an angry bird that. Some minion did not look impressed. It was impressive. He just did not look impressed. Okay. Hes like i know i look good.
