people enjoying the warm and dry night. no umbrellas and no rain gear in sight but we are tracking the possibility of some heavy rain for the weekend. >> let's go to the meteorologist for the forecast. that's right. but first we have more sunshine tomorrow and more dry conditions so you don't need your umbrella for this friday coming up tomorrow. it's going to be a perfect spring day. if you liked today, you will really love tomorrow so let's go ahead and look at your friday forecast in the afternoon tomorrow. sunny skies, look at these high temperatures. 76 in reading. it's going to be a perfect day tomorrow. pennsylvania suburbs is 76. clear skies in the afternoon in philadelphia. 75 degrees and if you're in new jersey the suburbs there glasgow

74 and trenton 74 and along the sure a little cooler. avlon still along the shore you're going to be in the 60s but still a beautiful day. in delaware 75. 74 in wilmington. at the bottom of the screen is your seven day forecast is always going to be skrolg there for you. once we get past tomorrow we have rain in the forecast for the weekend. it is going to be heavy at times. look at future weather. now we're looking at saturday. you will be waking up to overcast skies and the further south you are you could be waking up so rain. heavy rain around washington by saturday morning and then we go through the early afternoon. it's an area of low pressure moving offshore and that's going to bring in heavy rainfall. especially in new jersey and delaware you have the best chance of seeing heavy rain and windy conditions. the rain will be through the philadelphia area too. we're still going to keep the rain in the forecast there.

now we're looking at saturday evening, 8:00 p.m. that rain is still around. by sunday we'll start to see it taper off a little bit more. by the end of your weekend we'll have showers around. i think we could see some redevelop sunday afternoon but we will see a break in sunshine for sunday. so definitely the better day out of the weekend. right now nice and dry but if you look around texas and this is what we're watching to develop into that area of low pressure to give us rain through the weekend i was talking about. that's going to gain a lot of gulf moisture before it gets here and that's going to give us that rainy weekend forecast. here is a look at your weekend forecast. philadelphia, 59 degrees and rain if you're in pennsylvania subur subur suburbs. the heaviest rain in new jersey and delaware. sunday afternoon the heavy showers could come back in.

i'm john clark. the phillys are a game back in the division. they opened the series with one of the worst baseball teams of all time. the braves lost tonight. they are 10 in 30. the foundation helps kids through free baseball camps and clinic. the phillys have been red hot. the team's success can be attributed to their chemistry. >> i think it has everything to do with it. it shows the makeup of our players. we consider that we we acquire players within we want people

that have a good strong work ethic. these guys love to play and they cheer for each other and it's a pleasure to manage them. >> pete's done a great job. the number one pick they're going to choose between ben simmons and brett i think gram. he says he sees a little lebron james and magic johnson in ben. he does not like the perception that ben didn't give it his all in his freshman season. i think he's leaning towards ben sim mons here. >> i think to look at him in a vacuum and assess that seven months at college is not fair i don't think that's accurate. i've known the family for many years and ben since he was born. it's very unusual you couldn't make this story up. to have him end up possibly the first player chosen and us being in a position to select that. >> that says it all.

ben simmons would like this. bennie logan and former lsu pitcher could ben simmons be next. you heard of the social media sensations they've set a world record. this is a shot from the top of a tower in oklahoma city. that's an elevation of 533 feet, nothing but net. athe previous record was 117 feet. a lot of time for the summer to try to beat that record. i'm john clark. we're right back.

such a beautiful day tomorrow. everyone is going to call out sick for work. >> probably. it is the day to do it because tomorrow is beautiful and perfect. the weekend not so much. look at the forecast. our ten day outlook 76 degrees

tomorrow and sunny. i would call that a perfect spring day. saturday and sunday rain across the weekend but next week we're back in the 80s. >> i feel a cough coming on. >> i'm going to be late. >> me too. good night.
