the day. the daytime high ever so slightly above what's average, 44 degrees, for your daytime high, sun will come up shy of 7:20 this morning. we dip down to 31 degrees tonight. which is still cool granted but that's still about 6 degrees above what's average here, so not terribly harsh, but certainly not balmy just yet. now, let's gave you a sense of the game day forecast for the eagles for the tailgate, flirting with 50. this is good stuff. couple of clouds overhead granted but see little bit of sun breaking through, and by kick off, still very quiet, no weather-related issues, mid to low 40's around the time the kick off is taking place, but it really looks as though the warmest day is till yet to come. in advance of the next storm system, by tuesday, though, you're going to have trade off of rain moving in with the next storm, and that's what's causes that drop off on the thermometer, by wednesday, meisha. >> good to know, thanks, katie looking outside right now, we do have some construction, hopefully starting to clear out of the way, not quite yet. this is on the schuylkill, kind of getting used to the
