medical school. kids out on the soccer field. blue sky as far as the eye can see. not cloud in the sky and then look at this beautiful sunset that sets up. tomorrow very similar to today. so that's good news. but here's our problem child. this storm centered off the coast of the carolinas. right now it's well off to the south. but you can see the cloud bank associated with this lifting all the way up into portions of virginia at the moment. so even if we don't get into the rain, we definitely will see the clouds increase as this storm moves up the coast. high pressure to the north you'll see that northeast wind resume much like what we felt on monday and tuesday of this week and temperatures will stay below average. speaking of cool temperatures, take look at these numbers already right now 57 in reading. 57 in allentown we're down to 55 in millville. and 66 in philadelphia. we can expect widespread 50s maybe even 40s in a few spots to our north and west through the overnight hours tonight. certainly up in the poconos. so a cool night, good night to maybe leave the windows open let's let the breeze blow in if you like that. 57 degrees overnight mainly

clear. thursday great mostly sunny another very nice day above average by five or situation degrees. getting to 81 for the high on thursday. so two scenarios for the system this weekend. start with the european model. two main models we look at a bunch of others we look at as well. the two, first the european model high pressure to the north this is saturday at 3:00 p.m. by the way here's the storm just off the coast. what happens we get a cloud cover on saturday. then the rain still off to the south. this is sun today morning at 9:00 a.m. and the rain pretty much stays away from us as a that storm sips offshore. may clear the skies in time for that lunar eclipse on sunday night. the high stays stronger the rain misses us to the south cool cloudy and breezy but the gfs model riding this rain train for over a week now. can't really ignore it. saturday at 6:00 o'clock a few showers already trying to creep in. and then on sunday morning another chance for showers before this lifts on out in the gfs model the high not as strong. the coastal low is stronger and that means showers will slip

further to the north. so right now our papal visit forecast here it is 74 degrees on saturday. breezy. and cool sunday, 72 with the chance for a shower. "eyewitness weather" seven day forecast and shore cast, it's beautiful on both sides of the papal weekend but saturday and sunday are the days we have to watch for the clouds maybe a shower on sunday and then we're right back to beautiful weather as we head into the start of next week. it's too bad we can't shift it a couple of days. at least not going to be too hot and steamy out there. >> make the best of it kate. thanks so much. >> don bell has got your sports. >> we'll talk about those birds from bad to worse. how the eagles lost one of their top players in practice. and how the sports world lost one of the greatest winners of all time. we absolute yogi berra coming up next.
