I think weve got yukee kind of scared. Its almost go time for our pregnancies. This is live television. You guys all right . Were fine. For now. We want to talk about this new weather watcher weve got. What an amazing vehicle we now have in our possession. Its been a long wait im so glad its here. We hope you got a chance to tune in and see the newest member of our Eyewitness News weather team. This is the mobile weather watcher, a vehicle capable of taking weather on the road and giving you the most accurate look at the conditions around you. Today our eyewitness weather watchers got the first up close look at what this vehicle can actually do. Its an absolutely remarkable vehicle. I remember when we launched a program that the old one came to my house and we launched it and this is a complete upgrade compared to old ones though. Im so impressed with this. Thank you kyle. This is more than just a weather mobile as kyle said this is just an upgrade. It tracks lightning, it tracks rainfall, it actually counts the rain drops and how fast the wind is blowing and it has the capability to report the weather from anywhere in any kind of weather. No cell service, no power, its no problem for the mobile weather watcher. Were very excited that this guy has arrived. And excited to take it out on to the roads. There are weather watchers this morning debuting the first look at that weather watcher. The good news is the rain pretty much held off for most of our weather watcher festivities this afternoon and this morning but not so much for long. Center city looking pretty quiet there are a few light showers moving through but the heaviest rain is still well off to the south. You can see here on storm scan 3 bee are seeing that plume of moisture its been impacting the carolinas all day long just really pushing in from the Atlantic Ocean as the system works its way up the coast its drawing lots of moisture and falling heavily across portions of the carolinas. Weve got some light showers out there right now. Nothing all that impressive yet but its all going to continue to move in. Weve got a very rainy day on the way for you tuesday. Its 51 in millville, that wind is going to continue battering the coast as this low moves up the coast line its an east wind prolonged through tonight and through tomorrow. Periods of rain heavy at times and gusty winds battering the coast line thats where the winds already strongest. Timing it out overnight not that bad, just a few scattered showers, but watch as this wall of rain starts to lift in from the south tomorrow morning, 8 00 a. M. You may get to work dry just some mist and drizzle there, but the heaviest rain pushes in by mid morning and its going to come all day long. It looks like the heaviest will be mid to late afternoon. Heres 2 00 p. M. Embedded downpours, very heavy rain falling at that point. 5 00 p. M. The afternoon is impacted and even still tracking showers at this time tomorrow night before we slowly clear it out here on wednesday. Were looking at plus or minus an inch or so of rain potentially some higher amounts at the coast. It all depends where those heaviest pockets set up but were good for at least around an inch here in philadelphia. The trees, the grass theyll love it but its a slowgo across the area, the high only 59 degrees. Then after that 59 degrees take a look at this warmup. 70 wednesday, 80s by thursday and friday. Just in time of course for the nfl draft. Thursday looks beautiful. A chamber of commerce kind of day. 81 degrees sunshine thursday. 80s friday and saturday. It is going to feel like a taste of summer this weekend. Were going to jump right from april 50s and soggy tomorrow into the 80s. Its actually going to feel a bit muggy this weekend. Just a complete turnaround. Maybe the kind of weekend to drag out your sprinkler for the kids. A completely scenario. Feel like getting back on the track at the penn relay. Me too. Maybe not. Kate, thank you. And lets go back out to sports director don bell live on the parkway with the nfl draft just three days away. Hey don. Did he Say Something about the penn relays. Yukee are you trying to run . No, i lost my mind there. When we come back should the eagles take a corner back in the first round and also Malcolm Jenkins talks about the transition from college to the propers. Sports is next. Youre not taking these. Hey, hey, hey youre not taking those. Whoa, whoa youre not taking that. Come with me. Youre not taking that. Youre not taking that. Youre not taking that. Mom, im taking the subaru. Dont be late. Even when were not there to keep them safe, our Subaru Outback will be. vo love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. And welcome back to the ben franklin parkway. The nfl draft as you know is thursday night and eagles general manager likes to get frisky on draft day. Last year he traded up twice to get carson went. Now he has the 14th selection in the first round should he make a move once again. Earlier today i talked to former eagles scout and nfl network analyst. Hes always going to be aggressive if somebody that they want hes not going to sit and wait there for him to get there. I think in this draft you could maybe see him maybe move up a little bit in round one and maybe later on you try and slide back and recoup some of those picks. Thats something howy does as good as anybody is manipulate that board. During the off season the eagles lost both starting corners. Nolan corner signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent and they released leotis. They are desperate to have an impact player at that position should they take a corner with their first pick. I think corner has to be one of your first two picks. Whether you want to do it in the first one, this is a loaded draft in the position i think in the second round youre going to have some good options there. I dont think you want to leave the second round without a corner especially where the eagles are positioned rosterwise right now. I would be very surprised if one of their first two picks is not a corner. Lets talk about the eagles who are on the squad right now. They continue their offseason workouts today. We had an opportunity to catch up with Malcolm Jenkins. He w
