just being out on the roads that are not flooded tonight could be very, very dangerous. thanks to the fact that you cannot see very far in front of you. it is a all thanks to moisture along the stalled cold front. moisture impacting areas from southern new england down to the the carolinas. this moisture you see here streaming in the carolinas does have a connection to hurricane joaquin even though storm is moving out to sea. the it is keeping that transport of moisture in the carolinas over next few days. i want to draw your attention to heavier band have rain over portions of burlington county. this one just moving on the shore points. it is not raining heavily down the shore. it will be in the next five minutes or so. here by the way is joaquin. you can see not much connection but notice how a little bit of this is connection to that storm even as it moves out to sea. temperatures right new in some spots of the live neighborhood network are in the 40's. it is 46 at samuel emery school in beverly. forty-seven at the novacare complex in philadelphia 46 right now in pemberton. and as the temperatures cool, you can see fall color out there. this is a beautiful shot from

mike typier in dennis township, new jersey. not a great looking day but beautiful shot of the trees there as things begin to change and feeling more like fall as we head through the weekend. the it the feels almost like winter outside in some spots today. a amounts of rain business an inch to a inch and a half. swarthmore had 1.77. 2.1 in woodstown, new jersey. voorhees 1.96. georgetown delaware, some of the highest amounts of two and a half inches in a few spots. it has been a rainy day. this is not quite enough rain to cause an extensive inland flood threat which is good news. we have had three 2.4 2-inches this year putting us a half foot above the average. so heavy rain continues to come in through tonight. midnight with the batch of heavy rain over philadelphia a then it calms down a little bit a as heavier rain shifts down to the carolinas as joaquin heads out to sea but sends a little bit of moisture, where some spots could get over 10 inches of rain, while in philadelphia, we should end up with at most another inch or so. future wind, gusting to 40 or 50 miles an hour, a at times.

joaquin by the way a category three now and as we said heading out to sea. overnight period of rain, windy, chilly 51. saturday high only in the 50's. rain is heavier and showers. sunday cloudy, windy, little bit warmer, at 66. bundle up heading to the eagles game. finally bet are weather next week as joaquin heads a away. we will head back to the 70's with some sunshine finally returning, we will be rig baby! mom! i love that we're spending the weekend together. oh i know! hey, why don't you turn off your phone and all your stuff. good idea.

21 carries in the first two games. >> i just think we have to create more opportunities. you know, obviously, especially the first two games didn't go accordingly for anyone, but i think, you know, we can learn from those mistakes we all have made and justin to grow from the last game that we played. >> now eagles will not face former teammate desean jackson who has been ruled out for the the contest. this is third game jackson will miss because of the hamstring injury he suffered during the season opener with the dolphins. he torched eagles last year catching nine passes for 243 yards in their two meetings. phillies, game against marlins tonight has been postpone. they will play double header tomorrow. that will start at 4:05. they need just one win to avoid losing a hundred games for force time in 54 years. temple owls back in action tonight on the road they are taking on charlotte, temple is three-zero on the season and has not started the season four-o in 41 years n last game
