parts of the area for sunday or monday. beautiful clear skies out there right now. we did have a period of cloud cover earlier in the day. 58 degrees, winds 12 miles an hour, so it's already really diminishing and it's 9 degrees cooler than it was at this time yesterday. everyone's in the 50s except for mount pocono at 45 degrees. we only had a couple of places to even touch 60 degrees, and the average is 62. remember, it was 72 for the last two days, so it felt that much cooler because of that. now we have a few fair weather clouds around, this is satellite and radar. if there was rain, it would be green. there would be green around there somewhere. and there isn't any, so you don't have to worry about that tonight or tomorrow. plenty in the middle of the country, though, some of that headed in our direction, question is how close is it going to get. watch the wind diminish, go to practically calm later on during the night and the temperature, even in philadelphia, going into

the 30s overnight tonight. and that is significantly below average. and for the independence mall, if you're headed for the game day tomorrow morning, 44 degrees at 9:30, going up to about 55 degrees in the afternoon. right around noontime. so we're going to be seeing this november-like chill early in the day, even in the afternoon, even with some sunshine we're talking about mid 50s for most places. barely getting to the upper 50s in philadelphia. and then dropping back down into the 40s pretty quickly in the suburbs for the trick-or-treating, so it's going to be even cooler there as you can see by 11:00, it's in the 40s, again, not as cold tomorrow night as what we're seeing tonight. and where's any rain? sunday morning perhaps a couple of showers up to the north, but this particular computer model keeps everything to the south.

trick-or-treating is 56 at 6:00, dropping down to 51 at 11:00. and we're going to be seeing clear skies and comfortable wind at least, it's going to be a little chilly for the temple game, but at least it's not going to be windy. clear and colder tonight, 38 for the low in philadelphia, 31 north and west. tomorrow we're going to be seeing mix of sun and clouds, going to be a chilly day, highs only in the upper 50s, but won't be as windy as the last two days. we get the extra hour of sleep on sunday, a lot of clouds, but the best chance of any rain in the next seven days is monday and that will be in delaware and extreme south jersey the way it's looking right now. once that system goes by, boy does the temperature go up into the 70s for the rest of next week. hey, i'm danny pommells from comcast sportsnet. coming up, sixers getting set for the home opener while the temple owls are getting set for perhaps their biggest game in school history. that's next.

>> during the fall football is usually front and center on the weekends, but with the eagles on a bye, different kind of birds have the city zeroing in. 21st ranked owls host number 9 notre dame. temple 7-0 for the first time in school history. going to 8-0 will not be an easy task. growing anticipation for tomorrow's matchup. >> everyone talks about 7-0 right now, but two years ago we were 1-6 in this spot, you know? so, i mean, we've come such a long way. myself and all these seniors, there's really not much you could throw at us that we haven't been through. >> this is the reason we come to notre dame, to play in big games like this. you look at the schedule before the season this year and you don't necessarily circle temple, but the way things are set up and the way notre dame plays football, some how, some way something like this ends up happening. >> here are the results to our high school football game of the week voting bonner-prendy the

winner, highlights from around the region on the high school blitz at 11:00. the flyers are back in action tonight when they visit the buffalo asabres. still out tonight with a concussion. the sabres played last night in pittsburgh. sabres coach dan booels ma looks to pump to a kid in the crowd but an ultra aggressive adult swipes it from the kid. in the end the kid was given another puck, along with a jersey. as for the guy, come on, major violation. the kid got a puck coming his way, you snatch it away, nonetheless, that's your look at sports, i'm danny pommells for comcast sportsnet. we'll be right back.
