5:18 pm
is out there sunday. >> i want to make sure sam gets back out there as possible quickly. sam definitely be able to, you know, anyway, so i have a great relationship with him, you know, but i feel like me and sanchez do have a great relationship, a great chemistry out there on the field, so i know when he's out there, opportunities that can come up. you know, but with everybody. >> go 100 miles an hour when he's out there, guys are winded. it's going to get us in great shape. sam did an unbelievable job. if mark's number's called on sunday, i think everyone has a lot of confidence. >> mark sanchez was 4-4 filling in for nick foles last year. the eagles are 4-5 this year, but they are only a half game out of the lead for the nfc east. that's how bad the division is. we'll hear more from the birds coming up at 6:20. i'm john clark. now your nbc 10 first alert weather with meteorologist sheena parveen. >> well, a cooler day today. we have that cool air in place, so nothing compared to yesterday where we were actually around 70 degrees for most of the area,
5:19 pm
but now we're looking ahead to one rainy day this week. we have heavy rain in the forecast and behind that we're actually going to have a colder weekend again. going into thanksgiving week it's going to stay colder, so that will be your thanksgiving week forecast. it's going to be on the cooler side. no big warmup. right now in philadelphia, 52 degrees is the temperature. so far we were in about the mid to upper 50s, but we have dropped down since then. about the upper 40s through the lehigh valley, pottstown 48 degrees. 52 in wilmington, 48 in millville and atlantic city, so it's chilly outside and it's going to stay that way through tonight with some areas dropping into the 30s. we're nice and dry now, mostly clear to partly cloudy skies and we'll see more clouds move in, all this cloud cover gets here tomorrow, but the rain you see back off to our west, that won't get here until thursday. so tomorrow you'll notice more clouds, don't expect the rain with t but thursday that's when we expect heavy rain. here's a look at future weather the rest of the evening, we stay dry into tomorrow, we start to
5:20 pm
see more clouds increasing, so now we're looking at wednesday 2:00 in the afternoon, that's when we expect more clouds around. then we go into thursday, that's going to be the better chance of rain. early morning commute thursday, here's 9:00 a.m., most of the area could just be under cloudy skies, but then the rain mostly west of philadelphia. the timing of this could speed up closer to thursday, but as of now it will be approaching during the morning commute. then you see the oranges and yellows around lunchtime getting into the philadelphia area, delaware and new jersey, of course, north and west, that shows us the heavy rain. so we do expect heavy rain as we go into thursday and several hours of this, too. by the evening commute, 5:00 p.m., we still do expect many areas of heavy rain around. so it is going to be a rainy day thursday. the mild air with it, but it leaves once the rain leaves. look at how much of the country by sunday, now we're talking about the weekend, all this cold air is going to move into texas, down into louisiana, georgia, alabama. now florida is going to be mild,
5:21 pm
but the cold air is going to really cover a big portion of the country. of course, here locally we're going to stay cold to end out the weekend and now we're going into next week, and this is thanksgiving day. thursday of next week we do expect this cold air mass to still be in place, so if you're wondering if we're going to have a big thanksgiving warmup, it does not look like it. cold next week. low temperatures tonight, though, mid 30s for allentown, upper 30s pottstown, mid 40s for the philadelphia area. tomorrow clouds around, clouds getting thicker through the day ahead of rain for thursday. temperatures a little milder, about the mid to low 60s. then thursday is the day with the heavy rain, make sure you grab your umbrella before you leave, take your time on the roadways for the morning and evening commute. we'll be dealing with rain all day. then we clear out friday. the weekend looks dry right now. colder for the eagles, 44 degrees for the high temperature. the oxford dictionary has selected its word of the year, and it's not even a word. the story straight ahead. plus, canning the cans, why penn state cancelled a popular
