notice rain and not snow or ice. in philadelphia, we're hanging out at 50 degrees. that's after a high in the mid-to upper 50s. in wilmington, 49 degrees. the temperature is not dropping off real quickly here tonight but it will turn chilly during the overnight hours as we keep the mostly clear sky. it was a like a spring tease here. 58 in dover. a nice reprieve from this really brutal month that we've had. temperatures are comfortable if you're headed out for dinner and a movie, you just need a light jacket. 39 in allentown and 37 in the poconos. notice the trend line, though. as we go through the evening hours, temperatures will start falling off into the mid- and upper 30s. none of that in store for tonight. temperatures dropping to 34 in philadelphia and 28 in allentown and 31 in vineland.

again, you'll need a winter coat but you won't need all of the layers that you have over the last few days. so temperatures tomorrow, heading in to the 50s. 52 in philadelphia. 49 for you in allentown. so another look at the eagles forecast. can't emphasize this enough. this game will be much different than the last couple of games than what we've seen here down at the linc. number one, we won't have a lot of wind. if you're tailgating, that weather looks good. road conditions are excellent here tomorrow. oef all, it's a nice january

evening. tomorrow we bring in the clouds but we keep it dry. monday is quiet and tuesday, notice how the green started expanding, that's heavier rain moving towards the area. now let's turn it over to danny with sports. >> steve, thank you very much. good to see you guys, as always. the champion game is almost here.

got the second best defense in the nfl over the last two seasons and the vikings average just 3.7 yards per carry away from home. the eagles are motivated to show they have their best defense in the nfl. >> we have a lot of respect for their defense and the players on their team but we've got a lot of confidence in our defense as well and the guys that we have. so we're not focused on them, you know. we're going to have a big performance for ourselves. >> i think it's going to be a game of possession. and at the end of the day it's going to come down to a d-line and we'll show up on sunday. >> reporter: and history is in the eagles favor. the last conference titles have been won by the home game and the eagles have the best home

record. i'm john clark, nbc sports philadelphia. >> john, thank you. flyers fans have a chance to practice their favorite chant before sunday. >> defense. defense. defense. >> eagles safety corey graham mixing it up with the fans and against the devils, beautiful shot. up 1-0. michael pitches it and does the honors and three goals in the first period and 3-1, they've won six of the last seven games. and at 7:30 against the milwaukee bucks, our coverage begins on sports philadelphia and visiting uconn in the first half. going baseline and brings it down with two hands. roughing up uconn.

weekend, another warmup on the way. 46 on sunday. the rain holds off until sunday into the following week but we're not looking at any kind of arctic intrusions which i think makes a lot of people happy before we get cold air coming back in february. >> great weather for the birds game. >> that's right. travel weather two and from the game is good. i would say medium light coat and you'll be fine. >> thanks. for all of us here, i'm denise nakano. see you back here at 11:00. have a great night. we'll see you later.
