seeing on storm scan three has not been hitting the ground. a few drops here and there here's a look from the other direction looking toward center sit friday palmyra, new jersey. it the is very glummy, gray outside, same store which those how clouds at kutztown area middle school where it is only 67 degrees at the moment. temperatures will warm up before they cool down again in time to welcome pope francis. we are showing a few showers over the state college area. that has dropped temperature at state college pennsylvania to about 55 degrees right now. for us showers are few and far between, few sprinkles, watching this area near d.c. and baltimore. it could bring us a couple more steady showers this he can but for the most part everything is very sporadic and isolated. temperatures right now on the cool side but been a while since we have seen this 67 in philadelphia 65 in allentown. just 57 in mount pocono. all thanks to the northeast wind, you can see our wind bars denoting where wind is coming from cool marine flow

moving in. thinks predominant wind flow they have in places like seattle, san francisco, places like london that marine flow. we will get dominant prevailing westerly wind so in the often we tap in the northeast flow. when we do it drops temperatures quite a bit. 11 degrees from this time yesterday. you can see across northeast temps have plumeted. as we head into tomorrow, cloud will hang on. then the cloud will move on out and high pressure starts to mess from the north and west, just in time for wednesday the first day of fall. talk quickly about sunset. we will set sun at 7:00 tonight but then in the 6:00 o'clock hour by november 1st, 4:59 p.m. will be our sunset time. things are changing quickly. the lets take a quick look at tropical storm id a. it looks like a spider here. it is not going anywhere. we do not have to worry about it. overnight in the city of philadelphia it is cool, mostly cloudy, sprinkle, 59 degrees. the lets go down the shore for next few days in the bad at all, cloudy, breezy, cool, and

tonight demarrow murray had nfl railroaded would eight straight games with hundred yard rushing. if he runs at his current pace he won't reach 100-yard for the entire season. he has only 11 through two games. now that is not all his fault, eagles are losing as a team. offensive line is struggling includingal's barber and andrew gardener no luck run and in luck throwing the ball down the field. sam bradford had 224-yard but mostly in garbage yard against

cowboys. chip kelly which explain rest. >> it goes hand and hand. when you run the football well, you need to pick people from deep and bring them closer to the line of scrimmage. now you have an opportunity to throw the ball overtop. we haven't had the opportunity to throw the ball over the top because we have not established the running game and blocked well against 4/2 box is what we are seeing right now. it doesn't get any worse than that on offense. >> i'm embarrassed with myself and where we are right now. i guarantee you we will come together and get stuff fixed this week is pivotal for our season. >> speaking of this week, things don't get any easier for offense. the up next drive up new jersey turnpike to hook up with the jets, defense men for taking prisoners. they were sixth in total defense last season and gave up ten points in last weeks win over the browns. >> we played well in the preseason and now, we didn't play well in the first half against atlanta we played well in the second half.

we didn't play well at all against dallas. that team that played in the second half of at plant ace team we need to show up against the the jets. >> earlier i said last time that the eagles had as poor a game rushing as they did, yesterday, happened when dwight howard was the president, back in 1961. of course, our sports crew, they have a sense of humor. i bet dwight, you see the two side by side, both big men but eisenhower definitely a bigger figure and better relations. >> 5-foot ten. dwight howard is 6 feet ten. >> not so good with the lakers. eisenhower, yes. lakers. eisenhower, yes. >> we will be just by switching to progressive. so you'll be bringing home the bacon in no time. sorry. get a free quote at progressive.com.
