bit this evening as well. this is going to be connected to a larger system. you can see the swirl of clouds and showers, over the great lakes, this is what we call an upper level low pressure system, it is a low pressure system in the upper levels of the atmosphere and this is a slow mover. this will cut off from the main jet stream and sink to the south and without strong wind of the jet stream to move things along, this thing is not going anywhere for quite sometime. it will be with us at least in the weekend. the temperatures feeling good, now that the sun has return. it is 74 here in philadelphia 73 reading. sixty-eight in millville. pretty seasonal day for us, norma high in the mid 70's. here's is what ahead. clear skies overnight. that will continue in the first half of tomorrow. tomorrow afternoon the clouds will build in, and it is possibly a few showers tomorrow evening, or tomorrow night, here's midnight tomorrow night, into thursday morning. thursday, scattered showers heavier at times off to the west, but it has to be said that these cut off lows, you do not know exactly where the heaviest precipitation will form. there is a chance a heavier rain could form over philadelphia, thursday, it

continues to drift to the west on friday, and still cloudy with a chance for scattered showers around, and then finally by the weekend we will start to see that low lose its grip. you can see that bowling ball of cold air, impacting our weather thursday, friday especially by saturday and sunday starts to weaken and starts to move out and that is when nicer weather well will return. 30 percent chance have of rain tomorrow. mainly in the evening. the thursday and try best chance, 80, 70 percent respectively. saturday a 30 percent chance of rain. quickly looking at daylight, tonight's sunset at 6:49 p.m. take a look on november 6th, the sun will set at 4:52. we're losing more than two and a half minutes of daylight each and every day. so, tonight a few clouds, it is a cooler night. 68 degrees will be our low. tomorrow we are looking at partly sunny conditions, shower possible by evening, mainly after night fall. eyewitness weather seven day forecast will show thursday, friday, with clouds, and scattered showers, and i think thursday is the most active day, so, we will definitely make sure we have that rain gear on thursday, trying to clear things out in the

weekend and more sunshine on sunday for beginning of the rosh hashanah that lies into next week. so things look to clear out, good, especially by part two of the weekend. >> part two, all right. two and a half minutes of daylight a day, so depressing. >> yes. >> sorry. >> are you all right now. >> i'm going to try to bring it in. >> lets talk about sports. they all can't be center of attention on the court? what is brett brown saying about the unhappy nerlens noel. a moment that could bring you to tears an emotional night for marlins as they remember a fallen teammate, sports is coming up next.
