the schuylkill river and boat house row and water very calm skullers on the river enjoying their brilliant sunshine and warm afternoon temperatures. something we have in the seen much this spring. temperatures will continue to stay mile throughout this evening and then changes move in. take a look we have two components part one is this coastal low that is developing nor'easter we have been talking about for past several days. part is two upper level low pressure system that will combine with this system and kind of kick it out a little bit more out to sea. thinks our dominant low pressure system and one that will keep it cool, keep that on shore flow and that moist weather, in our region for the next couple of days. so one thing we will be seeing is cooler temperatures over next couple days, more cloud moving in thursday, and even more on friday, gusty wind certainly by friday and a few isolated showers in the forecast. so not a significant impact, but it will put a damper on the weather. thursday a stray shower, temperatures in the 60's and

then as this moves off shore we have an on shore flow thursday into friday and that means cool temperatures. friday will be in the upper 50's lower 60's with more cloud and more wind and then it all moves away saturday, partly sunny skies temperatures soaring through 60's. we have a few days that are in the so great and then we can end looks terrific. overnight partly cloudy low 53. high tomorrow 68 degrees. we have a chance of the stray sure but in most of us seeing dry conditions. so that is good news about tomorrow. lets take you hour by hour, 8:00 a.m. 60. very nice start to the day. lunch outside for sure with the good deal of sunshine and then by the afternoon at 2:00, 68 dinner time 63 and any evening activities looking good with a temperature of 58 degrees. looking ahead on the exclusive eyewitness weather seven day forecast thursday 68. friday cooler. saturday high temperature is 68 degrees, again with more sunshine. sunshine on sunday and mid 70's. the great day to be outdoors.

great day for broad street run as well in the morning. monday 80. tuesday, 81. and then by wednesday a few showers, the temperatures 77 degrees. you see how we are transitioning out of april and into may and so far, i don't think may is going to disappoint but many people have been saying to me and hitting me up on twitter will we jump right from winter to re. >> i do. >> i guess we will see. >> kate, thanks. >> you bet. >> we will be right back.

there's over two hundred thousand students in philadelphia. jim kenney and tony williams are fighting over public schools versus charters. i think they're both wrong...it's making sure they all get a good education. teachers should have their contracts respected. they also should be held accountable. and it's wrong philadelphia gets less school funding than other parts of pennsylvania. i'll work with harrisburg to change that. but if they refuse i'll take them to federal court. as mayor i'll do what's right for them.

only 24 hours left. >> will you be okay. >> to speculate and make

trades in your head, mock drafts, the real thing is coming. >> i know, nfl draft is tomorrow. here's what i think i think tennessee titans will draft marcus mariota and then open up the bidding for draft the day trade. i believe chip will smith an offer but bow out when mariota gets pricey. merrill reese has seen more eagles drafts than most of us here's his take. >> if anything, if they have to stay at 20 they will find a very talented player, but they may go up to 14, as far as 14, 15, i don't see them moving in the top ten. i think that is highly unlikely but if anything, if there is a player that they really really covet i can see them making some moves to go forward, but i don't see them going back. >> thank you, merrill. phillies and cardinals play game three of the four game series tonight in st. louis. aaron h a arang on the hill.
