5:17 pm
bradford can be hit. defenses think he's running certain zone read plays but chip says he's not. here is the first hit sam took in his first preseason action saturday night. is this a zone read play chip kelly loves to run? chip today says he did not call a zone read play where the quarterback has the option of handing it off or running with it himself. today, the nfl's head of officiating, dean blandino, said it is a zone read play so the quarterback is then considered a runner and can be hit. chip and the nfl disagree on this. here's sam bradford today. how does he feel about it? >> i have no problem being hit. if you want to come hit me, hit me in the chest. i think when guys are diving directly at your knees, i think that's a little bit different. just because you're running a play out of the shotgun doesn't mean that it's a zone read. we have a lot of plays in our of offense where there are no reads for us, it's an automatic give.

5:21 pm
in tobyhanna, we are seeing one thunderstorm which could have indications of small hail but the line is moving fairly slowly. the storms have just recently begun to develop. we will be watching as these move through. i don't think everyone will see the rain out of this but scattered showers will be kept in the forecast the rest of the evening. here's future weather. into the late evening hours, you see by 10:00 p.m., still the chance of scattered showers or storms. not very widespread here but hit or miss. early tomorrow morning, if you are along the shore by 8:00 a.m., that's the best chance of any morning rush showers. then we will see things dry out as we go into the afternoon. so lower humidity developing and it will really lead us up to pleasant days as we go into the rest of the week. for tonight, still the chance of showers. warm and humid, 70 for the low in philadelphia, 64, areas north and west. becoming mostly sunny tomorrow, less humidity. temperatures about the mid to upper 80s. take a look at wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday. sunday it gets hotter but look at the temperatures wednesday

across the globe. >> so how long do you think this is going to last? have we hit the bottom here? >> that's probably the $64,000 question. but we would say this. markets take a little time to go through these adjustments. we think what's going on right now is a repricing to slower growth both in terms of china but also in terms of the u.s., because of what the federal reserve came out with last week. so we would really sit tight, don't panic. stocks are long-term assets. you don't want to make short-term decisions based on long-term assets. evaluate your portfolio, take a look at your asset allocation and make decisions once the market stabilizes. that could take some time. >> some good advice. thanks for being with us, ernie. >> thank you for having me. >> coverage of the turmoil on wall street continues on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt ahead at 6:30 tonight.

6:00 pm
>> reporter: not good, keith. certainly with those numbers you just said, they are not very good numbers. a lot of people really don't get what's happening here. basically, problems in china have led investors to sort of pull back the reins which means all our 401(k)s and retirements, a lot of them have taken a real hit. i asked experts today flat out, i said what do normal folks like me do right now. >> ill not going to do anything. >> reporter: that's one guy's plan to ride out the stock market craziness. others agreed this isn't some financial apocalypse. >> you're not sweating it out, buying canned goods and worrying about your retirement? >> no. not at all. >> reporter: many experts say it's really just a correction prompted by china's economic shakiness. but they say historically speaking it was due to happen. >> we did get a couple calls this morning but we try to remind our clients that short term noise does not equate to long term gains or losses. >> reporter: michael deals with a lot of clients whose financial futures are tied to the markets. what is he telling them and us?
