First, some changes in the temperatures that i think youll notice. Winds also increasing, both overnight tonight. Cooler temperatures for tomorrow along with breezy winds. We have more rain coming especially friday into saturday. Hurricane joaquin will still be pretty far away but then it will get closer as we end out the week and get into early next week. Ill show you details. Sprinkles around the area but no heavy rain. Temperatures 71 degrees, that will be in the 60s as we go into tomorrow. First alert we do have out, though, is for friday and saturday. We expect heavy rain, higher wins than what youll see tomorrow. Possible flooding inland and along the shore. Storm surge possibly up to three feet along some of our shore areas and beach erosion coming with that. Since it will be an onshore wind. So, all of these things well be watching closely and updating you on as we go through the rest of the week. Clouds are here, heaviest rain, thats moved offshore in Sussex County earlier. Just a few sprinkles around the area now. Down to our south, we have more rain here, so unsettled atmosphere and were going to keep that in the forecast as we end out the week. Take a look at future weather later in the day tomorrow. Rain chances are still going to be here. It will be cloudy but cool somewhere breezy. Best rain chances south jersey, delaware. Then we go into friday. Rain keeps coming in, some on the heavy side friday and even going into saturday. Those rain chances will still be here, more moisture starts to move in. Then for saturday. We look down around the bahamas where Hurricane Joaquin is peck exed to be. Then it will take that turn up to the north and that will be putting it closer to our area. Coastal flood watch is up at the shore. So friday, the day well be watching, wave heights anywhere from 10 so 15 feet. We expect erosion along the beaches with the high tide also friday, we could see about a threefoot storm surge with strong onshore winds. The storm surge model showing up to 3 feet. Well be watching that closely. If you live along the shore, keep an eye out for that, we could see coastal flooding. The rainfall total 3 to 4 inches along our shore points and south delaware, washington and maryland, some of the lesser rainfall amounts for saturday morning would be points north and west but everyone should be seeing rain coming in for the weekend. Now we look to Hurricane Joaquin around the bahamas. A category 1 hurricane. Tonight the cold front move through, cooling down for tomorrow. Then watching another area of low pressure, moisture around the southeast. That will be riding up the stationary front. Thats going to give us strong onshore winds as we end out the week into the end. And then well be watching for Hurricane Joaquin. So whats happening here, the way the jet stream is oriented the hurricane will take the left hand turn, absorbed into the front and so Hurricane Joaquin will be taking a turn towards the coastal areas. At this point, still unclear where its going to get, anywhere from the carolina coasts towards our area. We have to watch that track closely. That will be by the end of the weekend and into early next week. Computer models consistent with that, putting it on shore as we go into the end of the weekend. You see looking silly there, because it does get absorbed into the stationary front. Tonight, temperatures in the 50s. Then we go into tomorrow. Its going to be a cooler, breezy cooler day for the area. We will see clouds around and a chance for showers going into the weekend. There you see it, heavy rain and a lot of wind tracking all of that as we go through the rest of the week. Im danny pommels, coming up the latest on the health of two key eagles and john clark examines one reason why the offense has been grounded, next. This is the xfinity sports desk, brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. Good evening, Danny Pommells from Comcast Sportsnet. Eagles got good news, alonzo had his knee scoped and the injury not as bad as he thought. Demarco murray limited at practice, nursing the hamstring injury. His availability sunday is not known at this time. John clark examines one aspect of the struggle. Yes, eagles did get the running game going sunday against the jets but you want the passing game going in washington. Birds are one of a few teams in the nfl that dont have a play of 40 or more yards. But it may be tough with heavy rains coming to washington sunday. Sam bradford averaging under six yards per pass attempt, the worst in the nfl for a starting quarterback. And on balls thrown, more than ten yards down the field, he is just 8 for 28. In fact, he has not completed a ball, thrown in the air more than 20 yards. Is it because defenses arent allowing the birds to get the big play, or is sam not comfortable throwing the deep ball or are the Eagles Playmakers not able to get open . Sam and chip kelly trying to answer theyre question. I dont think weve called a lot of deep balls hopefully thats something we can get to. I think it depends what we see is our best matchup, what we see is favorable that week. A combination of everything. Weve had drop but was guys are open and we doesnt put it on them at a appropriate time. Reporter eagles have won 6 of the last 9 trips to washington. As you know, games with redskins are usually close. John clark, Comcast Sportsnet. Thanks.
