lot of showers. but there are two little areas i'm watching. there's this one batch of showers moving out of maryland. that will likely be crossing down through southern new castle county within the past hour and i have been tracking a cell of showers from chester county over through delaware and now it's over gloucester county but it's really just fizzling out. it's near swedesboro right now crossing 322 and you can see how it really has been losing its punch as it moves to the east but this is the same area of showers that moved through delaware about a half an hour ago and this was the result. thank you jennifer for posting this on my facebook page from bear delaware, route 37, you can see that rainbow there with the sun breaking through the clouds, enough moisture still in the

the exception along the beaches it will be cooler temperatures in wildwood generally close to 70 degrees but still looking really nice. the problem though with the low humidity and the the fact that it is going to be breezy in the northwest suburbs you really do want to be careful with any open fires any grilling or tossed cigarette butts a fire weather watch is in effect because a brush fire could start and spread quickly. also the bad news when you get plenty of sunshine this time of year the pollen will remain high over the week. it will drop on minute as showers move n5 day at 5:00

that. >> hey, guys. last weekend craig berube said he didn't think he was coaching his last game for the flyers so he must have been surprised this morning when gm ron hextall relieved him of his duties. fired after almost two seasons. he took over for peter laviolette four games into last season. the team clear under performed. especially on the road. hextall told us earlier this week he wanted to take his time determining berube's fate. here's why he came to the decision that he did. >> in the end the decision was made because i didn't feel like craig got -- took me until last night i made the decision and spoke with craig this morning. >> search for a new coach will begin immediately. of course berube was not a hextall hire. he was inherited. this will be his first big time move and he made the decision all on his own. hextall did not ask for player input. >> sit down at the end of the year and you sift through it and try to figure out exactly where things went wrong. but i don't think it's fair for a gm to ask coach -- players questions about the coach when certain players obviously don't like every coach and certain players like every coach so in the end you don't come out of that with much anyway and i don't think it's -- it's not the way i operate. >> almost got a wonder if ryne sandberg will suffer the same fate. phillies have lost five straight already. ryan howard batting seventh only managed five hits last night. once again cole hamels election very unace-like. he's given up seven homers in 18 innings this is season. he allowed only 14 all of last year and more than -- in more than 200 innings. phillies stalled the nationals five to two. cole -- howard is batting seventh in there lineup once again. he went one for three last night. first time hitting seventh since 2006. his average .167. he has one rbi and 10 strikeouts. union look to make it two straight wins against new york last night playing in front of 20000 at yankee stadium. the bronx bunch struck game ended in a one-one tie. finally when we go outside with our gloves to play catch my two and a half-year-old always tells me mommy keep your eye on the ball. one college outfielder did just. that indiana and evansville tied at one in the fifth were sophomore tossed the ball, over the fence. over the wall. he somehow ends up with the ball in his glove. could be the catch of the year. it was also an important catch because evansville went on to wip the game two to one in 14 innings. how did he do that and how did he not get hurt? that is my question. monica, back to you. >> wow. incredible. >> thank you jamie. an important piece of delaware's history rediscovered thanks to a middletown high school senior. community members dedicated a marker today on school property on a spot that did serve as part of the underground railroad. back in the 1800s the property belonged to a quaker farmer who helped slaves fleeing from maryland. student megan marcio
