perhaps. so far as warm get out early, late day showers. we will drop 20 on sunday. we may be stuck in the 40's all day. sunday cold, dreary with drizzle and then as we head into next week we will start to rebound a bit. mainly cloudy, and 48 degrees, tomorrow 70 will feel great, but once showers move in but you'll be surprised at difference on sunday thanks to thate wind ande wind day in march is no buono in philadelphia that is cold raw air in the atlantic ocean, sunday cold, miserable day, back to the 60's next week and we will see sun returning by next wednesday. >> kate, thank you. >> don's up next with sports. >> interesting situation 330- pound wedding crashers story of eagles offensive lineman brand than brooks. plus a lot of love for dario why sixers rookie is hauling in praise from his head coach s
