he'll not be showing up for the rest of the off season program. sure enough he was not there today for the birds voluntary workout. eagles gave him a guaranteed $22 million contract a couple months ago so he may any other be so easy to trade. espn analyst ron jaworski has to say about all of this. >> rye really don't understand sam's feelings right now. i've been around this game since 1973. and the eagles have made it clear he's the starting quarterback. he's the starting quarterback. what are you afraid of? go out and fight. compete. it's your job. don't let anyone take that job away and apparently just the fear of losing that job to a carson wentz scares him. that's troubling to me. >> jaws says all reports are correct, carson wentz is the guy the eagles traded up to get. wentz didn't play division one football. not to mention he only started 23 games in college. but jaws says that's not important. >> it's not where you played.

it's how you play. that's the bottom line. carson wentz can flat out play. i went out to fargo for his pro day and you watch this kid throw the football it explodes out of his hand. the football side when i looked at all his tape i loved. this guy ran a pro system, a winning program. >> and the quarterback world turns. more drama in new england where deflate-gate is blowing up again. today tom brady had a his suspension reinstated by a federal appeals court meaning he'll miss the first four games of the season. or will he? brady is reportedly not ready to accept this new ruling is that exploring other legal options. so basically this may never end. with the way they played this regular season it felt like the warriors had a one way ticket straight to the nba finals but now they'll be without superstar steph curry for two weeks after he sprained a ligament in his knee. golden state has a three games to one series on houston. curry will miss the rest of round one and four games of

>> so, did i hear was going to be 80 degrees tomorrow. >> 83. >> 83. >> and more humid and could get stormy in the evening. >> so, july and august type weather. >> it's like summer storms a little ahead of schedule. storm tracker6 live double scan showing this evening all is quiet, though we could have some high thin clouds today but the action cam in fairmount park taking a look at the white dogwood in bloom and we have a lot of our spring plants really blooming now. part of the reason why, it's just been so warm. the last nine days every single day temperatures 70 degrees or above so the past nine days we're averaging

more than five and half degrees above normal and haven't had much rain in philadelphia. rainfall only about a tenth of an inch but tomorrow afternoon could get some showers and thunderstorms. the key time 1 o'clock in the afternoon and 7 o'clock in the evening. they'll be scattered. doesn't mean everyone will see them but could have gusty winds even the potential for hail. and this is a cold front so behind that system cooler air will be moving in in the middle of the week but today it's very warm. 76 degrees in philadelphia. that's 9 degrees above normal. allentown and trenton 73. reading and wilmington 74. and once again, along the beaches it's a lot cooler with the winds off the ocean, cape may only 60 and the boardwalk in atlantic city only 58 degrees. we have some clouds but they're high and thin so we're getting a lot of filtered sunshine with high pressure still maintaining control of our weather but at the same time low pressure near minneapolis and this is the

system that will be sliding in tomorrow. it will bring us warmer air and the threat of storms. future tracker showing first we get a warm front moving through. so we could have a few showers after midnight, mainly north of philadelphia with warm invection. then as we head into the morning hours those storms should lift north across the poconos. look at these temperature. a warm start to the day. philadelphia 60. allentown 55. wilmington 62 degrees at 7 o'clock in the morning with some sunshine and then getting into the afternoon, 82 degrees at 2:30 and this is when we'll start to see a few showers popping up with the instability but the main line, this broken line of scattered showers and thunderstorms moving through the i-95 corridor around 5 o'clock so in time for the evening commute pressing across south jersey by 7:30 and then moving off the coast by 8:30 so if you're heading to the polls in pennsylvania or delaware, you definitely do want to take the umbrella or raincoat. in the meantime really the focus of the severe weather tomorrow is going to be across the plains. this could be a really bad day. we're looking at a moderate

risk of severe storms in wichita oklahoma city wind hail and the threat of large tornadoes could be a big problem across the plains tomorrow. so, back at home the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, it's going to be warm tomorrow, 83 degrees, most of the day rain free but showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and then on wednesday, transition day. we brighten to the north. the clouds hang on south of philadelphia. it's cooler, 67 degrees but it's much cooler and it's wet on thursday. another low pressure moves through. 59 degrees. on friday transition day. we'll try to dry gradually 63 degrees but timing is everything and it looks like we've got a beautiful weekend. plenty of sunshine, great weather for the union game on saturday. 69 degrees. the broad street run sunday morning looks good. sunshine, temperatures in the 50's to start. up to 70 by the afternoon with increasing clouds and next monday some showers and thunderstorms with a high of 67. i'll have an update on the threat of storms on "action
