speaking of earning something eagles had their very first practice in minnesota while celebrating head coach doug pederson's 50th birthday but don bell has more as to why they took an extra long break during practice yesterday, lets take a look at this. >> wednesday was most significant day for the eagles , since they traveled here to minnesota they finally hit the practice field and it felt like a regular week during the regular season, or playoffs. it also, happened to be a significant day, for the head coach. turning 50 at sb52 doug pederson celebrating a milestone birthday on sports biggest stage. >> well, obviously it is a great day not only because it is my birthday. my wife's here and my family will be here later in the week to be able to celebrate this with them and with the team and to be in this game obviously it is an honor and if somehow we can pull out a victory that would be the icing on the cake as they say.

>> reporter: what do you get the head coach on his special day? >> unaudible. >> i will try to give him a win. >> super bell win. >> it would be i great gift i can give doug, a great wednesday practice would be number two that is only gift would i love to give doug right now. >> reporter: pederson spent his time preparing eagles for patriots. that he held their first practice since their arrival on sunday, nick foles knows exactly what this game means for philly. >> we have to earn that right, we have to prepare, we have to play this game, the game hasn't been played yet. we have lieutenant of work. trust me i know what it means to this city and what it means to us, it has been a lot of years wait fog they're opportunity but we are going up against i great opponent. we have hard work to go out there and compete and i will look forward to that but philadelphia is all behind us and they will be here cheering loud and i'm exited to see them in the stands and bringing in energy for us.

>> reporter: when eagles hit pratt field they replicate game day for the super bowl, during the regular season half times are about 12 to 13 minutes long. during super bowl, this year by justin timberlake it should be at lee 30 minutes. so during their practice they took a 30 minute break and when they return to the field they weren't as sharp. doug pederson was happy that the team had an opportunity, to practice it, and they feel like that is something they will work on for the rest of their time here in minnesota. with the team here in minneapolis, don bell, cbs-3 "eyewitness news". yeah, so doug pederson can eat as much cake as he wants to but i don't know how you feel about this but i feel like eagles should wait to film up on all that cake. that might be a smart thing to do. if you are just taking a peak where i'm standing i'm coming to you live from the mall of america this morning. we are on central standard time, you can see the mall looks very, very quiet, still

afternoon and spread to 30 acres in a few hours. fire has not been threatening any buildings at this point but it is still impacting surrounding area, but fire fighters worked into the night to get the fire under control and the causes not yet clear. katie joining us again and it feels a lot warmer then yesterday, not that much warmer but feels so much better. >> warmer and colder then yesterday and to day is absolutely warmer by comparison with the wind chill , having to be factored in yesterday, we walked outside the same time and felt like four or five or 6 degrees , and now it feels like what the thermometer read because wind is nice and light but we have blanket of cloud cover working its way n we have different ingredients playing into the reason why it is warmer but more than anything we are in advance of the frontal passage and we end up with a spike before a cold front gets here but because we have a surge coming in advance of it. this is most impressive front, certainly not.

it will gather more moisture as we head toward evening, especially but for now, primarily anyway, avail of cloud cover, stretched, anywhere from atlanta canada back to the central planes, and it is especially tonight, so, we will jump to you 6:00 p.m. there may have been one little shower or several, that have popped up on the radar but bulk of this will hold off until the evening at earliest so p.m. rush could be minorly impacted, mainly tomorrow morning's commute that ends up being hit the hardes from this but more nuisance way then anything. we will see rain showers working in before the front completely crosses all leading edge precipitation but as colder air rush necessary there will be a turn over that takes place from rain over to snow and then front gets out. it will not sit overhead for extended period of time so you'll see modest accumulation but that is all you need for there to be problems.

own come 9:00 a.m. thinks just clearing the coast we will go by this timing and decide to hang on earlier, late their may throw things off a little bit but overall general expectation for region as a whole is to see rain showers, then some snow showers accumulate a max coat to go an inch or so depending on the timing whether it hangs honor not there could be locally higher amounts near shore points but also up near poconos. we will keep an eye on that possibility. bottom line you may need to set the alarm five or 10 minutes early for tomorrow morning, out the the winning goal between 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. leading up to the big event at the well there will be snow showers. very light wind falling, which is nice, in the feeling too harsh but then tomorrow for gun hog day skies are clearing out temperature does start to take a hit. we are in the upper 20's by days even, guys. thanks, katie. taking a look at traffic there is an accident on route 202
