Still though youre looking at speeds more like in the low 20s i would say from penns landing up to this point at cottman avenue and coming up tonight they are shifting northbound traffic onto some of the new pavement so hopefully by the time next week comes around, northbound delays in the afternoons wont be quite as bad but only time will tell.

Ryan kerrigan is a linebacker pass rush especially lift for the redskins will line up on Halapoulivaati Vaitai and test him early. That will dictate how the eagles coaches play this game. If he can hold his own against Ryan Kerrigan i think youll see matthew scooting down the back field youll see tight end split out. If he he cant control kerrigan also bunch up the formations keep a tight end in, keep a back in. That limits what you can do offensively. Flyers open their 50th Anniversary Season tonight out in l.

We are in store for a beautiful weekend. A lot of fall festivals and things going on. Perfect. Everything happens like a seesaw in the u. S. When its stormy bad weather in the west its usually nice and beautiful in the east. Thats going to be the case as we go through the upcoming weekend. As we look at double scan live radar really not much to show you here. A lot of blue skies high clouds streaming in the late in the day especially south and west of philadelphia. With all of that sunshine, temperatures did struggle a bit to get to normal today and its because of that cool air that moved in so there was a decent little slug of atmospheric cooling so to speak despite that full sun there temperatures could only get into the lower to mid 60s today. Were still sitting there across much of the area. The poconos at 57 and these numbers are going to drop quickly here once the sun sets. In fact, were going to have a clear sky. Its almost a full moon. It will be very chilly, 34 degrees in those northwestern suburbs of philadelphia, even the pine barrens in new jersey, 44 degrees for center city itself. And with a very light wind between two and 4 miles an hour and a clear sky, its a recipe for frost to develop and there is an advisory in place for areas north and west of some pennsylvania turnpike between 1 00 a. M. And 9 00 a. M. On saturday morning and as you can see pretty much the entire viewing area with the exception of Mercer County around trenton in new jersey here as well with the exception of the coastline where those temperatures will drop to near or just above the freezing point. High pressure coming in and theres some of the high clouds down to the south but again, these high clouds will continue to fall apart here during evening hours. So, great weather heading to some of the High School Football games this evening but bundle up cause again, those temperatures drop quick. Tomorrow mostly sunny after a chilly start, a milder afternoon, 66 in allentown, 67 philadelphia. Mid 60s southern new jersey and delaware and that includes the shore line. The eagles theyre not home this weekend but theyre away 1 00 p. M. On sunday at the redskins just down 95. Kickoff temperature there 68 degrees if youre making the trek. A very light southwesterly wind and equally as nice, 72 degrees by the fourth quarter. And again, talking about that seesaw effect across the united states, the jet stream dipping south of San Francisco near los angeles so the Pacific Northwest seeing cool and stormy not only this weekend but going into monday, tuesday and wednesday of next week. So, when the jet stream goes down, it must return and go back up somewhere and thats along the eastern seaboard so with High Pressure building down to the south and east with a southwesterly wind so monday through wednesday were really going warm it to more summer like levels around here and even some record breaking numbers. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, 60s tomorrow but then that is it for six more days. We go to the 70s on sunday. 80 here on monday. Some clouds in the morning on monday, maybe a shower as a front is progressing through that will usher in that warmth and then that surge of truly summerlike air arrives tuesday at 83 degrees, record shattering here on wednesday, 85. We do drop a bit thursday but thats still close to 10 degrees above normal and some clouds with the next system on friday, maybe a couple of showers at 68 degrees. So, a perfect weekend no matter what kind of Outdoor Activities youre doing. All right. Thank you so much. Thanks adam.
