So, we are in for a clear night and plenty of sunshine tomorrow. 58 in the poconos, 78 in philadelphia, 20degree differential and in millville with light winds and clear skies already down to 69. Atlantic city at 72. High pressure is the big story with sinking air and plenty of sunshine to go around, temperatures will soar well into the 80s with an increase in humidity.

So, the relief comes in sunday. All that cool air thats been trapped through the great lakes and the Northern Plains will finally push south. Thats saturday night. And sunday perhaps a few morning showers giving way to drier conditions that cooler canadian air settling in with High Temperature in the upper 70s. It still will feel warm but just not oppressive. So, well go from summer to fall just like that. Overnight mainly clear, comfortable, the low 66.

Last year they exploded on the scene with an impressive win against the redskins in week one. Running back lesean mccoy expects another big year even though the attack will likely be more spread out. I think there im going to be the guy with most of the load with the offense but i dont think that 300, you know, plus, plus carries, you know, is really needed and im learning that it doesnt take a lot of reps or a lot of touches to get or be more productive or get what you want done.
