becoming dense during the overnight hours. here is the potential visibility for the morning hours. about two miles in philadelphia, perhaps a mile or less. especially to the north and west. in the morning, give yourself some extra time as you head out the door. in terms of rainfall, the front stretching all the way down from southern canada to st. louis and memphis. locally heavy rain embeted in there, however, as it approached, we'll potentially see the threat for some thunderstorms. actually in the margin signal risk area for some strong to potentially locally severe storms. again, this would be as we head into tuesday. out ahead of that, we'll start to see the moisture increase later tonight and into tomorrow. as that front passes, we'll see the pattern change. you can see that cooler air mostly settle to the north and west now starting to invade central portions of the country. sort of kick out that warmer air to the east and that's going to change the weather pattern as we head into the second part of the week. in terms of temperatures, tomorrow, cloudy, perhaps a passing shower, but i think it's going to be mostly an overnight thing where the showers start to

become a little bit more numerous. 10:30, perhaps midbay during the eagles game tomorrow. nothing long standing. as we head into tuesday, the showers and thunderstorms approach from the west. potentially heavy in some spots continuing eastward, it's really not until wednesday morning that it clears for most spots, but it looks like it could potentially linger into parts of delaware or the shore. that's something to keep in mind for some of our southern areas. head into monday, cloudy on the humid side with a passing shower. not as we head into tuesday, however, that the rain stars to become a little bit more on the heavy side. that's something we'll need to watch out for for every the course of the next couple of days. you'll need to grab the umbrella for the upcoming week. monday not looking so bad. watch out for that patchy fog early. a little on the cloudy side, tuesday looks like it's going to be when the rain can be heavy and that's going to put an end to this very long stretch of

very nice and warm weather we've had. >> right. it looks like it's going to be pretty soupy tomorrow. >> on the humid side. we knew this was coming. the week was beautiful and it wasn't going to last forever. >> all right. thank you. denise, thank you very much. ben simmons off to a good start, but the sixers are not. carson wentz and company are ready for monday night against washington. we'll hear from wentz and one reason the eagles are 5-1.

time to check in now with kate snow for a look at what's coming up on "nbc nightly news." good evening, kate. >> good evening, denise. coming up tonight, the manhunt intensifies in florida for the suspect in the killing of three people in one community there. plus, inside north korea where we talk with some ordinary

citizens about the possibility of war. also, police body cameras, as more cities adopt them, a new study looking at whether they actually reduce violent confrontations. and a hospital where art is a key part of practicing good medicine for kids. great story when we see you in just a few minutes. stay for "nbc nightly news." >> all right, kate, we look forward to it. thank you. now to your sports with danny pal mel. this is sports test. brought to you by xfinity. will change the way you experience tv. >> hey, nbc sports philadelphia with you once again. the eagles haven't played in ten days and they still have to wait for one more for their monday night showdown against washington. carson wentz trying to lead the birds to their third division win. one thing we discovered though, wentz and doug pederson sit down to discuss football and nonfootball items. >> it's just that time where he and i can sort of, you know,

take a deep breath, exhale and really kind of get he and i on the same page going into the game basically. i think it's important we continue to do that. >> entering week seven, wentz had the eighth most passing games in the league. wentz says that's one of the keys of the eagles' early success. >> just being able to spread the ball around and find your mismatches, whether it be from the tight end position, slot receiver position, the x to the z, even our backs in the backfield, that makes us so dynamic and really tough to defend. >> elsewhere around the league, bears safety eddie jackson had himself a day. on the left, returning a fumble 75 yards for a touchdown. on the right, returning an interception 76 yards for another td. the first nfl player to score multiple defensive touchdowns in 75 yards or more.

bears win 17-3. penn state remains at number two in the new associated press college football poll. dismantling of michigan. alabama, your unanimous number one. number six ohio state on saturday. meanwhile, kyrie irving has been fined 25,000 bucks by the nba for using inappropriate language friday night in the sixers' home opener. irving had a -- meanwhile, the start. player since the big o., oscar robertson in 1960 started tree straight games with at least ten points and three rebounds and five assists. >> for me it looks great, but i'd rather have a win, honestly. i'd rather have three wins. >> he has the ability to be incredibly special and you feel like immediately the stuff that he does on the floor is very

unique. >> all right. from the hardwood to the pitch. the union season finale was today. to watch the playoffs from home. unfortunately hosting h -- brian carol playing in his final game the the centering pass hit a sets a new union record, in fact. he scored his 16th as they crush orlando 6-1. flyers note. andrew mcdonald will miss four to six weeks with a lower body injury. >> that's it for sports. we'll be right back.

violet to joins us with the final check of the forecast. clear skies are going to go away soon? >> yes. definitely see the clouds build in. overnight, some fog develop. really during the morning hours

it can be on the dense side. again, tomorrow morning as you head out to work, make sure for gives yourself a little extra time. temperatures mostly in the 50s as we get the day started. through the afternoon, still in the 70s. well above normal as you head back to work for your monday. additional cloud cover, perhaps a passing shower, maybe a patchy drizzle. one of those humid and sort of damp days, especially as the afternoon and evening wear on. not thinking we'll have any big problems for the eagles game tomorrow night, but, again, can't rely -- a passing shower, towards the end of the game. with that being said, it's really tuesday we'll start to see the heavy rain and maybe even some thunderstorms move in. we actually need the rain. it's been quite some time. so that will be beneficial, but, again, some strong thunderstorms possible and then wednesday starts to clear up. >> by midweek, fall arrives. all right, thanks. we'll see you tonight after football.

when you're a double-dipping pension-padder like steve sweeney, it's important to maintain a certain... lifestyle. that's why sweeney spent over a hundred grand of his campaign funds on high-priced meals and other gifts. we're talking fine cigars, fancy watches, pricey restaurants, and expensive wines - all to charm the type of folks who helped him raise your taxes 145 times. too many in south jersey are struggling. but steve sweeney's looking out for himself, not for us.
