clockwise flow, brinking in easterly flow, low pressure to the south, counter clockwise flow bringing in the east flow for us here. so we're sort every get that wind flow funneled in from two separate systems, and that's where some of these clouds will be pent up as a result. so, i would say, again, the further northwest you go, the better your chance to see the sun, more clouds than anything for most of us today. with the area of low pressure developing nearby, see couple of showers here and, there but specially into tomorrow. we catch break on wednesday, and then we track new front. so there is a lot of pieces in the pattern in the next couple of days. today with more cloud cover it, limits the amount of heat that can take place, we will get you to upper 70s, we flirt with 80 in a couple of spots, 64 degrees for the later night low. there will be some showers around later on tonight. heading forward in time, dropping off little bit with, again, the fact we have got some showers, some clouds to track for tomorrow, only mid # 70s, temperatures go on nice spike, back to the mid 80s thursday, and that does come courtesy of our next cold front, the approach of it means we warm up, but then right behind the cold front we

cool right back down. so i think we will be dodging some additional showers, storms, thursday, and start to clear things out for you by friday. ukee, back to you. katie, thank you. eagles are winners of the first game of the season against the jaguires, but it wasn't easy. quarterback nick foles had first half to get. fumbled twice, through couple of interceptions, the ffl mossee fish end quarterback last season, rough start, much better finish. eagles were down 17-nothing at the half. fortunately, the second half was another story. and the birds scored 34 unanswered points to beat the jaguires, your final score 34 to 17. >> i didn't play well in the first half, obviously couple of turnovers, and, you know, that really hurts us. gave the jaguires offense the ball, and, you know, pretty good spot, they capitalized on them, but the mistakes, just get the ball little faster and as simple as that, it is on me. >> way to come back, big guy, don't from get the fun doesn't end sunday, thursday night
