the gulf of mexico, we've had severe storms, tornados there, snowstorm over here, and as far as our weather's concerned, we just have some clouds coming in and they are thinner clouds now, doesn't look like there's going to be much in the way of a rain threat for a while. as we go through the night tonight, we're going to be clear for the most part, on the cool side, but nothing exceptional. then the wind starts turning into the southeast tomorrow. the clouds increase. the temperature increases, too. but you don't see the rain. tomorrow night may be a couple sprinkles, but thursday, that's the day we're going to really get it. there we are as we go into thursday morning, thursday morning rush hour, generally okay. but here comes the rain. that's a solid area of rain and some of that is very heavy. so especially after the morning rush, through the midday hours, into early afternoon, and look how warm it is.

trenton 69 degrees at noontime. so this is a warm, windy day with a lot of hours of rain and maybe an inch or two adding up, some localized flooding if that happens. 45 degrees in philadelphia tonight, 36 north and west. during the day tomorrow, the clouds will be increasing and thickening during the day, highs in the low to mid 60s, but the rain holds off, maybe a few sprinkles tomorrow night, then some of that heavy rain on thursday, windy, warm, then it starts to get colder with those winds on friday. saturday looks to be the warmest day of the weekend, even that's not too warm, and for the eagles game on sunday, starts a pretty cold period. >> thanks, hurricane. i'm john clark, sam bradford practiced today, we're going to hear from the eagles on mark sanchez, if he is the guy on sunday and jameis winston is ready for the birds. great video of him coming up.

then we just, you know, we'll kind of just veer towards some of the things that he -- whoever is in there might do better, but it's virtually the same offense. >> the birds know they let one get away, losing to the dolphins, but they are only a half game out of the nfc east. they are still alive. >> everyone's frustrated, i mean, we're 4-5, not where we want to be, but at the same time there's a lot of football left. we keep saying there's a lot of football left, but it's time to think change. >> we're doing a lot that won't allow us to win in the league, regardless of what everybody else is doing, it won't matter if we can't figure it out here, so we got a lot more, a lot bigger fish in front of us than to be looking out and see what other teams are doing. >> jason peters did practice today, at running back, ryan matthews did not. jameis winston and the bucs will be coming to the linc on sunday.

check out jameis' speech to the cowboys two days ago. this is good. >> overcome adversity. i told you the team that wanted it the most will pull that came up. you kicked that -- you kicked that -- offense, we kept fighting! we keep doing that, we keep doing that, if we give all we got, we have each other's backs, we going to go 7-0 in these. let's go! let's go. >> that looks like a leader to me. flyers tonight, moved to the top line with claude giroux, facing his former team the kings. jake scored his first goal of the season last game to win it for the flyers. hopefully, they can build off of that. >> feels good, feels good, especially we won that game in overtime. now, like i say, got to focus on the;cát tomorrow, can't be worried about what happened on saturday night. >> highlights at 11:00. we're right back. for the girl scout meeting...
