beautiful evening across the delaware valley. hope you had the chance to get outside and enjoy it. we have showers moving through associated with a cold front but the air hype this is not cold. it's actually going to be hot again tomorrow. so we have one band of showers moving toward the northeast. and a trailing area of shower that is will be moving through early tomorrow morning. looking live at the parkway again just can't get enough of this picture. temperature right now in philadelphia 66 degrees. the high temperature today 81. if you look at the past four hours you can see how temperatures have slowly declined. 9:00 o'clock it was only 70 degrees. so we're still quite warm out there. we have east northeasterly wind at just 3 miles an hour. so really comfortable night. right now temperatures ranging from 60 in the poconos. 73 in reading. in wilmington it's 66 degrees.
10:49 pm
down the shore much cooler. with the impact of that ocean. the ocean influence keeping it cool in the 50s but tomorrow we have a west wind that means it's a land breeze. so temperatures along the jersey shore are going to be very similar to these inland temperatures. so if you want to plan a day at the beach water is too cold but at least at the beach it will be mild. our high future cast shows patch of rain lifting toward the northeast into the poconos but then some spotty showers maybe even a rumble of thunder especially through south jersey early tomorrow morning. we'll have some morning clouds and those clouds will give way to sunshine. so the summer preview continues the jet stream well to the north for friday and saturday. then we have another front coming through and that will cool things down. but still pretty comfortable around here. tonight the low temperature 65. overnight a shower or two. especially through south jersey and delaware. during the day tomorrow we start off with the clouds you can see the blue sky some humidity out there. the high temperature 83 degrees. for the penn relays, it's going
10:50 pm
to be a really nice stretch. tomorrow 83 with a morning sprinkle possible. and then look at saturday. feeling like summer 88 degrees a chance of late day shower or storm with front moving through. on your seven day forecast from the weather authority a great day saturday near record warmth sun day cooler but hot again on monday. tuesday 70. wednesday 72. next thursday some showers. the high 66. important to note is saturday. the record is 90 degrees. that would be the hottest day of the year so far. we're going for 88. lucy, iain, we could come really close if not touch that record on saturday. it's draft weather. what can we say? kathy this draft was as unpredictable as you can possibly get. a whole lot of trades an whole lot of surprises. but the eagles may have just come away with a steal. derek barnett is our guy and howard eskin will have reaction from the front office. that's coming up next in sports.

10:54 pm
ton of trades early in the front round with a bunch of quarterbacks going way too early resulted in this. derek is the guy fort eagles much he's a junior out of tennessee he can flat out get to the quarterback he left tennessee as the school's all-time leader in sacks. 4.8 at the combine. put on the tape. watch him. he can get aft it. high motor and he can help brandon graham get quarterbacks to the ground. howard eskin is at the novacare complex. what are the guys in the front office saying how this all went down? >> well, they like their pick, sean, and when we talked to howie roseman earlier, he talk about -- he didn't really talk about the scenarios, but nobody -- he talked bout craziness that could happen. this might have been crazy yesterday draft in the first ten to 13 picks the last five years. and that's what created the eagles opportunity to draft one of the players that they were looking at and they wanted the best player available.
10:55 pm
and one of the things that they also like and i'm going to talk more about how this all fell out is a player with character and owe howie roseman talked about that tonight on the 5:00 o'clock news. let's listen to hoe wee roseman. >> he stands for what we want to be and i think everyone in the city will see what kind of person he is, what kind of player he is, unbelievably high character. unbelievable worker, and tremendously talented and productive. >> he fits exactly what we're trying to build here want we started last year and being a quarterback and being a former quarterback in this league, any time you can acquire a pass rush schers to get after the quarterback with the guys we have and just mix him in there now, makes us better. >> all right. character is important but here's why this all fell out. three wide receivers were taken in the top nine picks. corey davis is the player i think they also really like. he went five. then mike williams they didn't really like went seven. then john ross who they were looking at went nine. and what also mater this
10:56 pm
possible for the eagles three quarterbacks were taken in the top 13 picks and that's why derek barnett fell to them one of the guys we mentioned earlier fell to them at 14 and they really like the the pick. back to you, sean. >> howard, scenario no one really thought of. thank you, howard. my guy who's san reddick has a new home he was draft the to the arizona cardinal as the 13th overall pick. congrats to the temple grad and the camden native. arizona might have just gotten themselves a star. shout out to haason. >> absolute his life just changed. good for him. we appreciate it. >> lucy what's coming up at 11:00. >> throwing punches in church don't usually go together, right? but at one local church that's the goal. they're training kids how to fight in the ring while also preaching peace. our bill anderson has the story for goodness sake and of course we've got your wake up weather and seven day forecast. we've got a whole lot ahead. it's all in the first five minutes. ♪
