6:18 pm
then we go into your thursday. thursday is a day where you'll need an umbrella. scattered showers and storms possible by the afternoon. doesn't look like too much. but we will see those changes. and by friday, even bigger changes. sunny, dry, and the cool air finally starts to move in on friday. tropics, though, they're fairly active. we have a tropical depression off the north carolina coast. another one off the coast of south florida. the first one which is giving us the rip current risk today and tomorrow, that's tropical depression 8 off the north carolina coast. expect it to be a tropical storm as it moves away from the united states. but still, it's going to impact our shore and delaware beaches. so again, be very careful if you're heading out there and going in the water for sure. tropical depression number 9 is in the gulf of mexico. this one is also going to take a turn. tropical storm possibly by the time it moves onshore in florida. anywhere from the florida panhandle to just north of tampa, by tuesday bringing them a lot of rain. for us, though, we don't expect the rain from it. it will stay just offshore.
6:19 pm
as of now, that's the forecast. by saturday, it will be the closest. and by saturday we'll be looking at the threat for rip current risks at the shore. so be very cautious of that. your weekend forecast for everybody, looks really good. sky conditions, mostly sunny. 81 saturday in philadelphia. 83 on sunday. monday for your labor day 85 degrees. so nice cooldown compared to what we have seen for most of this summer, really, most of this month especially. if you're heading to the shore, 79 saturday. 75 sunday. 80 degrees on monday. but again, the rip current risk at the shore and the delaware beaches, of course, the rest of the area, really looking nice and dry. amy? thanks so much, sheena. doug pederson talks about the position battles that will go on in thursday's preseason finale. tim tebow and his baseball workout.
