and time now for your fox 29 weather authority. i know we're talk something rain but iain and i are freaking out over the cold part of this forecast. >> they are freaking out. (laughter). >> a lot of people will once they really feel the rush of cold air because you compare it to last weekend we had temperatures 85 and 86. >> gorgeous. 80s to 40s. i know. rapid change really quickly. if you have yet to unpack the fall clothes and the jacks now would be the time. put that on the to do list this weekend. weather headlines starting off with the rain that's arriving. dry for now we'll see that arrive late only talking about quarter to half inch of rainfall with on and off showers on saturday morning. we are expecting quick clearing on saturday afternoon. but that's courtesy of a very brisk northwest wind which will bring the cooler air and cause these temperatures to actually fall throughout the day and then pretty rapidly into saturday night. ultimate doppler right now showing an area of some pretty light rain this is just about west of the allegheny. so about to cross the mountain and then into our area along a cold front bringing rain right

now i wouldn't rule out a rumble of thunder by the time we get to early top morning it is still a few hours away from punxsutawney down through state college moving west to east and once it does reach us i think it will be in and out quickly. coastal flood advisories in effect for south jersey along the delaware bay all of delaware and back through delmarva and chesapeake. has nothing to do with rain, due to high tied it expires in about an hour so minor flooding along the back bays there. 73 was the high in philadelphia today. the normal 71. record high 90 set back in 1919. we have yet to even come close to any record highs any time soon. 71 degrees here in philadelphia right now. 68 in pottstown. 69 reading. 68 in millville. temperatures back towards our west we're watching so 60s and 70s here. but 50s to 40s back along the great plains and the midwest where there are a ton of frost and freeze warnings in effect. so that's the air mass headed our way. don't think it's cold enough at least not quite yet for any frost frost, showers arrive by midnight. by early tomorrow morning you're seeing rain may come down steady

at times. otherwise it's just rainfall that will good threw the nine, 10am hour before pushing into jersey here we are at noon just rain across the shore we're already seeing clearing north and west and then i think we see late day sunshine by saturday afternoon. very gray soggy start to the d day. may interrupt your early morning plans and for the kids games it's going to be a soggy morning on the fields. but we're not talking about a rainfall. a half inch or less. highest amount up in the poconos. the big story after the rain will be the falling temperatures. tomorrow morning it's actually very mild but the rain coming in out ahead of the front in the 60s to 70 degrees. watch those temperatures fall through out the day as the cold air rushes in. 50s and 60s this is by 8:00 p.m. saturday night. and then mid 40s even some 30'ss showing up on the higher elevations of the poconos because it's so breezy we're not worried about frost forming. tonight 60s and 50's. morning rain guessing way to afternoon sun tomorrow. 70-degree high will probably be reach before noon before we fall into the 60s. your seven day forecast shows,

63 will be the high temperature there on sunday. and that's with a pretty gusty west wind. it will feel like we're in the 50s most of the day. we will have a lot of sunshine and this cool snap is short lived. by the time we had the monday we're back into the 70s. that's seasonable and stay in the 70s the rest of the week. so it will be a significant change kind of a one day special that will develop affect anyone going out to the eagles game because it will also maybe affect the game because we have strong west winds. >> bundle up. >> exactly. >> caitlin, thank you. >> keith russell here with sports. >> we knew the phillies would have rebuttal but we have a rebuttal to their rebuttal. >> right. >> last night on fox 29 news at 5:00 howard eskin broke the news that phillies president david montgomery was forced out of his spot and that minority owner john middleton was in the process of moving no a majority roll. today the phillies issued a statement saying montgomery was not forced out. here's howard's response to the response. >> here is my response to the phillies statement. in five words. i stand by my story.

john middleton's father herb originally had approximately 10% of the team. john has purchased a percentage from the other owners that has now taken him four times over that original vest investment and not part of the bylaws. middleton now owns 48%. the phillies lost money last season and middleton has been paying the needed money. there is an internal struggle with the majority ownership question. but i'm told eventually it will happen. >> now what changes will the eagles make after their offense didn't score a single point? here's a thought. get the ball at the guy who's fifth in the nfl in receiving this year jeremy maclin. he's been of the most consistent offensive player this season. the last two weeks he's made great catches in the fourth quarter. who believed he would come on this strong after missing all of last year with torn acl. >> it's been kind of what i expected. i had a chance to be around it for two years now.

like i said, when you have so many play makers it makes your job easier. >> so when he one we get everything clicking man it will be a site to see. >> what separates those receivers in clutch time making big plays like he has, and he's a guy i depend on when he's out. there i expect him to make a plays but he's come through and done a great job. me and him have to continue to work together to be even better. >> now the eagles have won the last three meeting with the rams. we break down their chances this week on "game day live" sunday at 11am. that's followed by fox nfl sunday at noon. eagles and rams right here at 1:00 o'clock. don't miss the post game report. after loading 63 games it was owner josh harris who call the six social security season a huge success. now as they enter another year among the leagues worst team again with the nba thinking about changing the lottery system. harris speaking today at sixers training camp.

>> we're going to try to win every game. we'll try very hard to win every game. we're not about losing on the court, um, and but we're also building and developing players. so i say that wee win as many games as we can. >> really?
