You can almost feel that humidity get out of the sky. And lots of blue in there. 82 degrees down in philadelphia. Our high was 85. Upper 70s in the suburbs. New jersey 82 degrees in the Lehigh Valley right now. And a lot of places barely made it to 80. Some places at the jersey shore didnt because of the onshore breeze. Atlantic city right now, 76.

But its saturday when weve got a front coming down, and some showers. General area of showers and a thunderstorm, especially in the afternoon, and into the evening, and then it moves out in time for sunday. So even if we do get a thunderstorm saturday, its not going to be a washout. It will be hot. It will be humid. As you can see, 92 in philadelphia. Even the jersey shore is going to be fairly hot. Because of the land breeze later in the day. And a land breeze on sunday, too. But thats drier air moving in. Lower humidity. Beautiful day on sunday.

All week were giving you a look at our newest tool for the first alert weather team. The storm ranger 10. Problem . Simple. No matter where storms are, radars are stuck on towers. And the farther you are from the tower, the less clear the weather picture. We wanted to get a clearer picture of whats going on up there, inside the clouds. And the solution . Storm ranger 10. Developed and built right here at nbc. So for the first time ever, we can take the radar with us. Right to the storm and give you the clearer picture. What other radars miss by shooting above the storm, we capture by bringing storm ranger 10 to the storm. And that means giving you layers of protection. The first layer of protection, 30 miles from the radar. At that distance, the beam is very low. Meaning you can see almost the entire storm. Everything below 2,000 feet. The outer ring is 60 miles away. We can see everything below 5,000 feet. So if youre within either of these rings, storm rangers got you covered. The areas least served by traditional radars are actually the ones most likely to get severe weather. Two years ago in reading, a monster hailstorm dumped so much hail, they need plows to clear it. The latest radar . 104 miles away. With storm ranger 10 we can get a lot closer than that and detect hail sooner and let you know wherever you are before the storm hits. Getting closer means more protection. Storm ranger 10, only on nbc 10. The counties farthest away from any of those stationary radars are in berks county and chester county. For more details on this gap and how we fill it in with this, its on nbc10. Com. Ive got a blog explaining it all. Storm ranger 10 will be logging a lot of miles. Yes, winter, too. Rain versus snow.

Aaron has a strained elbow. He was supposed to start tonight, so theyve called up phil cline to take his place. Jake thompson could come up for nolas next start. Nola has really struggled the last two months. But he just started to feel the pain after his last outing here. They could shut him down for the rest of the season. But he hopes to pitch again. I definitely want to. Im definitely going to do everything that i need to do to get recovered with this. And really hope i can be back at the end of the year. End of the year, could be a while. Gomez has been placed on the paternity list. Someone else is going to close out the game tonight and maybe a few more. Umpires have been seen ejecting managers. But bob davidson tossed a fan who kept yelling at him. Catcher cameron rough said he had never seen that before.

We werent allowed to shoot video during the hitting session, but Doug Peterson brought back the pads and hitting and tackling that andy reed used to do. Chip kelly didnt really believe in it. It is a big hit with the players. When the coach says live, everybody knows, you bring your a game or youre going to get ran over. They are bringing their a game. We compete and have fun doing it. That was probably the most fun periods weve had in a long time. Whenever we get to tackle, it adds a level of intensity that you usually dont get. Its always fun going up against the guys on the team and trying to see who can win the day. Win the day. Chip coaly used to say that. Another tweet of the workout, and he looks real good.
