recognizable. >> yeah, definitely a different level. i mean, you get on network television, as you know. >> we're local. we're lockal. >> yeah. it's gotten to be -- but it's cool, man. not so much you get bombarded. hey, man, that was really cool. you know, good luck. >> he returns to the stage tomorrow at 8:00, and you can watch it right here hon nbc 10. >> so talented. later this week the eagles are back in action on nbc 10. can you watch the birds fourth and final preseason game thursday night at 7:00 as we take on the jets at the liyn. join us before and after the game for exclusive interviews and coverage you won't see anywhere else. >> our forecast has been all about the summer heat. august turning out to be a well above average month. the ones you see in red, these dates, those are the days in the 90s, yellows days in the 80s and counting them including what we

forecast to wrap up the month, more in the 90s than the 80s. not something we would typically say for august. the question is how does labor day look as we get into your weekend, and the good news is we pull the 90s. saturday will be at 83. we're warming up here though as we move along into the mid and upper 80s for your sunday into monday so we will see that warming trend rather looking about 84 on your thursday. then we look at your headlines for the shore, so we check out the forecast there and the numbers are going to be a little lower, of course. saturday in the upper 70s and then sunday into those lower 80s and upper 70s, and monday your labor day, lots of sunshine here, looking good so far in those lower 80s as well. temperatures are going to be warming gradually out there, but it's very slow that you see at the shortstop otherwise a mix of clouds and sun for your saturday and sunday. rehoboth beach at 78 and atlantic city at 79 degrees. the shorecast for your weekend is looking good at this point, but there may be effects from

tropical systems that we've had our eye on for the last several weeks. first we're looking at tropical depression eight sitting off the coastline of the carolinas. it's going to be arching back to sea, but mainly tuesday into wednesday for us, some dangerous rip currents. that is a possibility. then we look over to tropical depression nine. this is a separate system here. that one sitting right now to the south of florida, but the track potential moves it through florida where it should bring in some heavy rain. then clipping the east coast. now, it does look like it will bring us showers, but, again, it could lead to some rip current threat for us. at this point a moderate risk. that's shaded in the teal that you see on the board, the statement saying that we're looking at the dangerous rip currents potentially right through your labor day weekend, so that's something we'll continue to update you on but it will be solely dependant on the track of that tropical system as it pulls through florida and then starts to head along the east coast. here's a look at your ten-day on 10. as we're saying, at 9 for your

tuesday and then 91 for your wednesday. thursday at 84 degrees and that's when we see the dip. we pull in a chance of storms on your thursday and the cold front passes, and look at friday. so nice here. 81 degrees for your friday. if you get be a early start to that long weekend, saturday, we're at 82 and then as we move into sunday, morning, it will be the mid-80s that you do start to see with the sunny conditions as well. so on your ten-day forecast what we're looking at is that your overnight is getting comfortable over the next several days and just one more in the 90s as we wrap up your august and move into september. 80s for your labor day weekend. >> looks pretty nice. football players pregame protest. it's sparking debate across the sport and beyond. >> a big talker 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick took a stand by refusing to stand for the national anthem. how eagles players are responding next.
