fultz had a cortisone shot for pain. pain that caused him to shoot 50 percent from the free throw line. the team doesn't seem as concerned as we all are. >> it's become very obvious that, you know, us his -- he just hasn't been willing or committed to shooting outside of the paint. we're trying to work on that obviously. we're trying to get -- that's part of why we're taking this step today, just take a step back, get him back healthy and ready and i know he's confident that it's going to come back and he's working on that right now. >> oh, this is a biggy. a major matchup for second ranked penn state who cruised past michigan. now they've got to play sixth ranked ohio state in columbus and it's all on the line. >> it's one thing to win at home in a whiteout. it's one thing to win at home college game day, 110,000. it's another thing to go on the road and do that and

that's a challenge for -- for our entire program. >> world series tonight chase utley starts at second base. >> do you root for the dodgers or who are you rooting forgo you're from california. >> i'm rooting for the dodgers. chase utley. >> a major milestone right here on 6abc, rachel ray's 2,000th episode and the woman who made it possible oprah winfrey is helping her celebrate. >> alicia vitarelli crashed the set in new york for the big event and we do mean she crashed. she's live at the big board with more but it was fun, alicia, right. >> yes, i had an invitation you guys. >> no, you didn't. >> let me tell you, being in that studio elicited just about every emotion you can imagine, cheers, tears, the whole nine. what a celebration of a remarkable tv milestone. every element was a surprise for our friend rachel ray. well, except for this one which certainly had everyone on their feet. >> all right, don't adjust your sets. my name is oprah and i'm here

>> we have breaking news to report tonight. chopper6 over the scene of a multi-vehicle accident along the commodore barry bridge.

this is at the toll plaza as you can see on the jersey side of the commodore barry. it involved a box truck and two other vehicles and if you look at the center of your screen you see some type of red tarp there that's covering one of the vehicles involved. this is logan township gloucester county, the jersey side of the commodore barry bridge. no word yet of any injuries. but as you can see traffic is getting by slowly on one side of the toll plaza. other than that things are at a standstill. we'll keep an eye on this multi-vehicle accident and bring you more information as it becomes available to us. >> thoughts and prayers with those folks. all right. on a much lighter note time to see what's going on at the philadelphia zoo. >> for that we go to meteorologist cecily tynan out there with the all important forecast as well, cecily. >> hi, guys and this is the final zoo broadcast of the year so laura is with me and i think we saved the best for last. >> i think we did absolutely. >> we're in the small mammal house and we're in the sloth exhibit and this is charlotte who just is kind of hanging out. >> hanging out having some

carrots doing what sloths do best. >> they have a very slow metabolism but there is a reason for that, right. >> it's all about energy conservation for them. so they do everything slowly. they eat slowly. they move slowly. they spend almost all of their time in the tree. they come down once a week to take care of business and that's it. >> now, this is charlotte and she's a two toed sloth. there's different types of sloths in the wild. >> exactly. with the two toed it's almost like a mitten the way her paws work. she uses they are paws to hang. >> i saw sloths in the wild in costa rica. it was a big deal because they were coming down the tree to use the facilities. >> to do their business. >> it doesn't happen very often. they were all gathered around to take a picture. >> nobody knows why they come down particularly to do that. they do everything else including giving birth hanging upside down in the tree. >> when they're actually down on the floor, they can't

really walk can they. >> very awkward. they can't walk on their claws. they do best exactly what they're doing. they'll get this green algae that will be perfect camouflage for them. >> last friday was international sloth day. >> exactly. so you have to celebrate sloths and do what you can to recycle and save trees. >> exactly come here the small mammal house this weekend boo at the sea last weekend for it. >> last weekend for boo at the zoo. fantastic time to come, trick-or-treat at the zoo, get some extra wear at that costume. >> i love charlotte. she's one of my favorites. let's talk about the weather. today lot cooler than yesterday. yesterday we were in the 70's. today our high in philadelphia 66 degrees. that's 2 degrees above normal. 65 currently allentown and reading. 59 cape may 60 and wilmington 59 degrees. satellite and radar showing we started the day with sunshine. we did get some clouds bubbling up from the front that moved through yesterday. little bit of leftover energy with that and then as you look across the midwest you can see

more clouds, some showers. that's our trough that moves through tomorrow. tonight partly cloudy, great night for sleeping 43 degrees in the suburbs, about 47 degrees for center city. tomorrow mostly cloudy and with that trough we could get a sprinkle or two in the afternoon and temperatures below normal for a change. allentown 59, philadelphia 60. that is 3 degrees below normal for tomorrow. trenton 60. cape may 60 and wilmington 61 but we have a really nice rebound for friday and saturday. the jet stream moves up to the north. high pressure off the virginia-north carolina coast will bring us winds out of the southwest. temperatures in the mid 60's and low 70's. warmer and brighter. great time to come to the philadelphia zoo, but on sunday, everything changes. that jet stream basically goes negatively. it helps guide up some tropical moisture and we're looking at a soaking rain, generally about one to 3 inches. if you're heading to the eagles game you definitely want to take that rain gear.

so, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow breezy and cool, mostly cloudy. perhaps a sprinkle in the afternoon, a high of 60 but we're back in the bright sunshine by friday, mostly sunny, 65. saturday 72 degrees but on sunday, that rain moves in, heavy at times, 66. monday could have a leftover lingering shower in the morning. otherwise windy and cooler, 55. it's cool and brisk for halloween, 61. and wednesday sunny and seasonable with a high of 60 degrees. so, just hang in here with charlotte, the sloth taking it easy and that's what we all have to do every now and then. i love her. back to you guys. >> thank you cecily. >> hanging out. >> much more "action news" when we take a break. stick around. joseph, i'm steve. how are you?
