Gets me so in the spirit. Hi, kathy. Back in the studio, were actually taking a look on mark street the bustling Market Street and weve got a temperature of 48 degrees. The high earlier today 51. Those Winds Continuing out of the west northwest about 6 miles per hour. So weve got a High Pressure system and a settled into the region. This when we see High Pressure system in control, subsiding air helps clear thing out that really helped to clear those skies out. We had nice sunshine through the afternoon today. But look whats behind it. A local pressure system moving in from the gulf and you know what that means. Carrying a lot of moisture with it. It continue to move towards the north and east. As it does it will be moving into some rain chances. Notice how far away it is. Yes that really means it will take awhile to get here. Weve got mostly tonight and early tomorrow morning to keep it dry and then that rain does move in as we head into the afternoon. Lets time it out for you on your future cast. Clouds move out ahead of it for your Early Morning commute. The rain starts to push in. Notice this mainly all rain event here in the delaware valley. Some snow off to the west of us. But in philadelphia, wilmington, trenton, atlantic city, were talking scattered rain showers through the afternoon and even into the evening at times. We could see heavier rainfall this does continue over night and into early wednesday morning but by the commute it becomes much much more isolated and then were kind of done with this system as we head into wednesday afternoon. But we have to talk about a cold blast of air on its way from canada. This is going to be moving through the Great Lakes Region and into pennsylvania, new jersey, delaware, all really cooling things down as we head into thursday and friday. So be ready for that. Be ready with a jacket, your scarfs and your sweaters, as we head into thursday through friday were talking temperatures into the 30s. Tomorrow were at 47 degrees with that cloudy and theft rain chances. And then we head into wednesday. 51 degrees so thats not all that bad, guys. But were looking at that rain chance returning or excuse me those temperatures dropping friday, 39. Thats as high as we go on friday and were factoring in wind as well, guys. Its like its december or something. Yeah. At least the sun will be out. Thank you. Eagles season real cold. Like dead cold. Oh yeah. Were in the deep freeze on that one. Its a problem.

Com experts Appointments Available now. Eagles are just bad right now. Sorry but theres no way around it many they lost seven out of their last nine and sick straight on the road. Plus the games went from being competitive in the first half of the season to blow outs over the last two. Yesterday was the worst. The bengals came out and stomped eagles 1314. Our rookie quarterback is regressing. Carson wentz is staring down receivers. Not going through his progressions and just making bad decisions. He had three interceptions yesterday and the worst part is him and Doug Pederson have totally different views on whats going wrong. I dont think its the mechanic. I mean i think its theres just teams you make mistake. Things happen. Thats just the bottom line. Looking at the film theres times when theres pressure in his face the ball will tend so to sale high. Theres times hes still back on his back foot and the ball sales high. So its a combination of both. Um, its just something we got to continue to work on. Thats a rookie being a rookie. You should expect that. We didnt expect the eagles defense being this bad. Supposed to be the best part of this team especially that front seven. But yesterday they gave up over 400 yards of offense to the bengals and cincinnati didnt even have their best wide receiver. Even during the game the defense couldnt believe what was happening. I believe, um, you know, that we was going to get it done. Even during that game i never, you know, wavered even when things werent going our way. I just believed we was going to come out of this with a win. I mean, tell you, man, we couldnt have practiced no matter. Just going tran late to the field. Well move on to something that might be blasphemy to some people. I think a punter might be one of my favorite players in the league right now. Oakland raider punter Marquette King is one of the funniest guys in the game right now. Take look at this. Yesterdays game he gets a roughing the punter call, right so look what he does. He decides to pick up the flag and do a little dance with it and spike it. He gets a flag and look what happened earlier in the season. Great punt is made on the side lines and hes on the field dancing. Doing everything he do. Riding the horse. Thats what i want to see from a punter. Im sorry i know the punter is the no one cares about him on the team. But if punter dos this every game, im goining to buy a punters jersey. Im going to celebrate with the punter. Thats what i want to see in the game. I thought this was the no fun league. Hes having fun. Exactly. Then you get a didnt get a fine for it either. At least i dont think he will.
