lead when they get back in the shotgun can be hit when they hand the ball off. if that's what they want to do, we will all have to adjust. everybody in the league has runs out of the shotgun. >> reporter: this is something that has to be cleared up because defensive players could go after sam and his knees on those run plays, those zone read plays. coming up in less than half an hour we will hear from sam bradford has to say. see you then. >> thank you very much, john. the eagles visit the packers this saturday night for game three of the preseason. nbc 10 at 8:00. our pregame coverage starts at 7:30. nbc 10 is the official television station of the philadelphia eagles. it sure was great weather on saturday night for that game. that was just amazing. we are tracking some showers, not a whole lot, but some, and maybe the only ones of the week.
4:48 pm
days of comfort following these showers as they come through, and possible tropical depression or storm developing now that danny is pretty much kaput. we see a fair amount of sunshine today, mixed in with some clouds. it's more humid than it has been. 87 degrees, feels like 89 as a result of that higher humidity. nothing extreme. 78 degrees in mt. pocono. we are 87 degrees in glassboro. there are some places that are fairly close to 90 degrees but nobody's hit that number today and the humidity has not been out of hand. but we do have a front that's coming and along that front we are seeing some buildups of clouds and even some showers. you can see some heavier stuff back by harrisburg so that's what we will be watching. that's going to take hours for it to get into our area. this one shower is getting pretty close to the poconos, county, tobyhanna, maybe about to get hit by that.
4:49 pm
even the rest of the poconos, probably not getting rain. once that goes through, it is dry all the way back to the rockies unless you go up into canada and the air is not going to be coming from there. so let's take this hour by hour as we go through the evening hours. there are some showers around, more or less isolated scattered at the most and by 9:00, you see there's nothing in new jersey or southern delaware. so it will take awhile before this moisture gets in there. by 11:00, we are fiemnally gettg the first showers into new jersey and delaware and starting to dry out in pennsylvania. this is a limited threat. by tomorrow morning, if there's anything left, it's right along the coast. and the cooler weather, less humid weather, that's coming in. sets us up for a really nice day tomorrow. even though it's going to be warm, humidity will be down. we don't expect any afternoon showers.
4:50 pm
this was danny and as it came toward the caribbean it weakened. they need the rain. they have had a terrible drought in much of the caribbean. it was a tropical depression and now, no longer even writing advisories on it. this could become erica as early as 5:00 and that one is headed in the same general direction danny was. we'll have to keep an eye on that. chance of showers in a couple spots at least. going to be warm and humid overnight, 70 for the low in philadelphia, 64 north and west. now, the humidity is going to be dropping during the day tomorrow and the early clouds go away and it becomes mostly sunny. any early showers would be at the shore and move offshore. once that happens, it looks like it will be dry for the rest of the week. lots of sunshine, low humidity that gets even lower as we go through the week. we don't even heat up until next weekend. >> thank you very much. two men thought they could outsmart officials at a maximum
