welcome back everyone. the flyers, facee limb nation tonight when they take on the washington capitals at wells fargo certainty. >> our very own pat gallen was at game three where both flyers and their fans. >> yeah. >> came up small. >> they pretty much did. they gave me a cool experience, but in the end i think we know how that turned out. monday night flyers had one empty seat on the glass available and they decided to let me have have it to tell the store of the amazing playoff atmosphere at wells fargo center. it began asiana macing nate but as we know it did not end that way but before all of the mayhem i sat the on the glad and enjoyed a nice giant slice of pizza there, took in the sights and sound of playoff hockey. the flyers gave out bracelets as they illuminated the arena i seen that at cold play concert before but that

backfired. night began with the stirring tribute to ed snider passing away at 83. many fans moved by that pregame tribute to honor their late owner. as i mentioned front row seat, amazing view, amazing place to be during the playoffs and it started off great. the energy, you could feel when you are that close is unlike anything else. so you get to appreciation when you see how fast and physical these players are that close, the boards are shaking in your face. it is amazing. then first gel happened, the place was electric and it appears with that first minute the flyers were primed to cut the series lead in half. it seemed liken joy of the building carried from the pregame in the first part of the game for the flyers but that soon faded overtime as capitals came back and toward the end it became a real laugher. the caps won by six-one. they have scored five power play goals. that wasn't the real story of

the game though. the real story, of course as night began with such promise with the fans enjoying a game and celebrating an own their brought who can toy this city. it ended with that embarrassing moment for the team and town and that embarrassing moment still being discussed and played out in the media among philadelphians and beyond. it wasn't just one or two fans throwing those bracelets i was in the front row and had them by my head. it had to be a few hundreds. flyers forward wayne simmonds was on the ice asking for fans to stop and he is not happy with how it went down. >> it was extremely unfortunate. i necessity we got into some penalty trouble there at the end but i don't think fans helped us out any. obviously i think they are voicing their displeasure but at the same time i don't think you should be throwing things on the ice. >> ed snider's daughter serena agrees. she said her dad would have been down right disgusted with

the fans behavior, she tweeted my dad would have called wrist band throwers a quote disgrace and may have spoken publicly but he weren't look back, only forward. we will look ahead as well, coming up at 6:00 we will see if the flyers can figure this thing out and steel one with the capitals. they have to go one game at a time. it has happened before. flares were down three games to none in a series and came back. we will see if they have it in them again. looking for. >> that is what we have to do. >> cool thing, your view of things. >> it was pretty incredible. you don't realize but they are right on top, pregame right in front of you, really cool. >> thanks, pat. >> let's get latest on today's fabulous forecast. >> katie, is this one of the the remaining days of fantastic stretch of weather and something else is coming down the road. >> weather pattern has to shift with time and we will see some rain return to this forecast but for right new things are still dry. that in itself can always have too much of a good thing,

right. eventually that does lead to potential at least for some drought issues. the at the moment we don't have a drought but we are in the middle of a pretty dry stretch. let me give you statistics here. we are in need of rain. since march 1st there is a rainfall deficit now, just shy of two and three-quarters of an inch. with no measurable rain that is not helping. there is no posted drought status just yet but if we dent see larger storm with any better measurable rain coming soon, you know, we could continue down that path the here. storm scan three is showing you nice wide zoom. we have high pressure but here's a storm system that is bringing in incredibly heavy rain across portions of the lone star state headed toward houston area but right new pretty nasty line there and heavy storms across portions of eastern nebraska and kansas but this is a storm that will eventually head our way. what it does bring with it is rainfall but that doesn't happen until friday. today is another gorgeous day.

we will easily give this an a plus, sunshine, nice and bright, very pleasant by 3:00 p.m. to about 69 degrees. we should top off around 70, that is what we're expecting and over course of the next few days we will continue a warming trend by a few additional degrees every passing day. friday looking to be the warmest and wetest. i wouldn't call it the a wash out. couple showers, a few thunderstorms, throughout the day, mid to late day is when it will come in here. i still suggest taking umbrella along. we have nice weather that does return, 70 and sunny on saturday, in the bad on sunday either, meisha, back over to you. >> thanks so much, katie. good morning everyone. take a look you are looking at video from emergency construction to replace three suspension ropes on the delaware memorial bridge. how will that affect you? well, three southbound lanes are closed, and that means only one is opened, it will be affecting you coming from new jersey to delaware, most delays we will see is on 295
