Thats what christmas is all about. As we take live look over doylestown tonight. Plenty of travelers trying to get to their destinations for this christmas weekend and if you didnt hit the road today, well, scott, it could be a little messy tomorrow. Were talking rain. Absolutely. A lot of rainfall especially tomorrow morning, dawn. But thankfully temperatures will be well above freezing so all rain for your saturday. Take a look at the high today. 51 degrees. Right now, its 47 degrees in philadelphia. The average high this time of year is 43 degrees. But look at ultimate doppler you can see a shrug of green that moisture headed right to the delaware valley. Already some light showers especially north and west around hahn know brook moving toward reading berk county as we move through montgomery bucks county a few light showers out there, but well go hour by hour. Look at the temperatur temperate 40s early on saturday. Heavy rainfall to start. I think well get a bit of a break during the early afternoon time frame but those tepp hers soaring with winds out of the south into the mid to upper 50s perhaps even look at this 60 degrees as we move toward 4 00 oclock and then another round between 4 00 and 8 00 p.

Looking alt light rain developing, a wintry mix north and w. 1am on monday you can see the Lehigh Valley, sections of the poconos watching out for that snow and thats the best chance when you wake up on Christmas Morning to have per happen an inch or so the Lehigh Valley, berks county, into the poconos. Maybe a coating north and west suburbs away from philadelphia. A few flakes mixing in around the i9the i95 corridor.

Dropping into the 20s but the wind will make it feel like its in the teens. Back over to you. All right. Thanks. Sean brace now with whats on his mind tonight. Yeah, dawn. All right. Even if carson wentz was healt healthy, nobody outside of philly would or will be picking eagles to win anything this year. So my message tonight is directed at the doubting eagle fan out there and its simple, are you in or out . My commentary is neck. It start the at the beginning of the season Mike Lombardi said Doug Peterson was quote less qualified to coach a team than anyone hes ever seen in their plus year in the nfl it carried on when the eagles were winning week after week. All the eagles did was won 37nine against the cowboys. Still not a lot of credit for the birds. Then the eagles go on the road and beat the rams but lose carson wentz in the message stays the same. Nobody in the media believes the eagles are a special team. Turn on any pregame show and youll hear the analysts give reason after reason why the eagles will lose. Only 12 times this year. The majority of them theyve been wrong. Now comes the fun part the playoffs and believe me, nobody outside of philadelphia will pick the eagles to win and i got news for you, even with the healthy carson wentz still the same. So now more than ever, this message is for the fans. Theres no reason for ripping on players of social media. Calling up the radio stations complaining, nah its time for everybody to come together. Trolling ronald darby because of a bad game is ridiculous. They won the game and darby even made a huge play. So come on. Message is simple eagles fans. Either youre in or youre out. Because as i just said theres plenty of non believers out there. Dawn . Good all right. Thank you. Lots of folks are going to be warm this winter. Thanks to huge coat drive in east falls tonight. And some of the eagles speaking of the eagles players including derr ryan sproles and Alshon Jeffrey were at the even. Guests enjoyed dancing and musical performances. Love to see this. Darrin sproles is hur so hes done for the season and hes still volunteering his time. I love that. Absolutely. That did do it for us at 11 00. Tmz fail followed by page sick at midnight. Stay tune for the q at 12 30 and the simpsons. Were back for 7am for good day philadelphia weekend. Scott will have you covered with regard to the forecast and the rain. Have a great night.
