figure out what's wrong with their kids. >> my thoughts are always with rocco's privacy. things that growing up i didn't want anybody to know my mom kept my secrets. and in order for me to find help, i can't do that for rocco. >> reporter: melissa and jenn are working together to help doctor sprouts find more kids like rocco and tyler. >> kids who could be treated early like their sons. >> these kids are brilliant visualizing we think of them as arcs, graphic designers, computer whizzes. none of them gets optimized or developed because the other areas are pulling them down. >> i spoke with pediatrician endocrinologist and he says that treating babies with hormones these before it becomes standard of care. hely said it's a result from studying and treating kids like rocco and tyler are good, he sees hormone therapies being used more in children in years to come. i'm jennaphr frederick, fox 29

news. >> this thursday they'll have big party to help raise the money they need for research and we've got more information for you on our website. just head to myfoxphilly.com. back to your fox 29 weather authority now. and iain was reveling in today. >> i was. i had shorts when i was playing golf today. >> you know not everyone was -- >> adidas sweats. >> not everyone was happy about this warm weather. >> i know. >> it's fall, mid objection. it should feel like it, right we have temperature changes in the offing. temperatures are going to struggle to make it out of the 50s a couple of days with that seven day forecast coming up believe it or not. but take a live look right now at center city much it's windy, winds are out of the south but look at today's high temperatu temperature. 79 degrees. that's well above the normal this time of year which is 67. and look at the low this morning, 65 degrees. so the low this morning was actually just 2 degrees off from the normal high temperature for this time of year. the sun will set this evening at sick 23:00.

look at the temperatures right now. still pretty warm. we have 75 degrees in trenton as well as millville. 77 still in reading. upper 60s in the pocono mountains. and the reason being, those winds out of the south out ahead of this slow-moving system right now producing some rainfall from the great lakes all the way to sections of the gulf coast that. system will slowly progress toward our area but not tonight. it's going to be dry if you're stepping outdoors. tomorrow morning, we're looking at some patchy fog across the area. most of us dry. but watch the clock as we move toward the afternoon, that system gets closer. so zooming in a little closer here by 1:00 p.m., we're watching some sprinkles perhaps across the area out ahead of the mainline of showers and storms that will be arriving during the afternoon commute as we take look at the clock by 5:00 p.m. moving toward the pocono mountains the lehigh valley. and wednesday night, we're socked in with the wet weather, the clouds as well as some showers even the threat for some gusty thunderstorms. by thursday morning, we're still

looking at the clouds and rainfall across the area. but the system will be moving out by midday on thursday. most of the heavy rain by 10:00 o'clock will be east of philadelphia down the shore still looking at some of the wet concerns. continuing to roll that clock, you can see we're looking at on average one to 1.5-inches of rainfall out of this system before all is said and done. so the bottom line patchy fog tonight, lows in the 60s. high temperatures on wednesday near 80 degrees with those gusty showers and storms. and then all of it's out of here by midday on thursday. so the tropics still heating up. we have hurricane gonzalo, 115 miles per hour storm. it will be moving toward bermuda by the upcoming weekend. that seven day forecast showing you 80 tomorrow. high temperatures in the 70s. low 70s on thursday and once again most of the rainfall wednesday evening overnight into the first part of the day on thursday. still pretty mild though friday. 71 degrees. the first part of the weekend

67. but a chilly change by sunday. a high of only 60 degrees in the city. likely 50s once you move north and west. staying below average monday, 61. only 59 for the high on tuesday. so enjoy upper 70s and 80's for at least 24 more hours. >> all right. i will. i know that. >> thank you, scott. >> thank you. >> happy for you, iain. >> thank you howard there. i'm about to do something very different. >> ah. >> a rare occurrence but my first story in sports concerns your philadelphia sixers. >> what? >> they're first. you may remember the owner josh harris speaking at training camp 11 days ago. well, let me refresh your memo memory. >> this is not going to be a mundane season. it's not business as usual. this is going to be michael carter william streaking down the -- stealing the ball streaking down the court for noel nerlins blocking shots. you'll have a fun exciting team to watch. >> all right.

so here we have josh harris telling to us watch michael carter williams as the player to come and see. not so fast. mcw had surgery on torn labrum in may. sixers told us he would be out two to four months. but now the truth comes out. i had reported here on fox he would not be ready for the opening of the season on october 29th. yesterday mcw told the media he was always told it would be a six to nine month rehab time. not the two to four months that the sixers told us. but they were not honest with andrew bynum either and his injury. it's all about selling tickets for players that won't be playing. and here's another little sixers nugget. i have been told that the gm sam hinkie asked josh harris for a nine-year contract. said it would take that long to win a championship. luckily he didn't get it. >> all right. so no eagles this week. but can't get enough of chip kelly. yesterday when the media had talked about the poor play this season of the defensive backs cary williams and bradley fletcher, chip always has a come back.

>> i think a lot of times you guys are wrong. (laughter). >> seriously. that's what i really think. so -- when we start listening to people outside of here, we'll be in trouble. we would be wrong. i think those guys played really really well. >> all right. you got to do that, right. first game, this is a big play. it help the eagles beat jackso jacksonville darrin sproles 49-yard touchdown the eagles won it 34-17. in the second game on monday night, how about that? malcolm jenkins with the interception on i was drew luck in the fourth quarter and that was a big play in the 30-27 win. can't get enough eagles so far this season. >> all right. there was a time many years ago college athletics was pure. it was for the love of the game and the ncaa would try to enforce the rules. but now many universities are involved in the cover ups. that's a case with florida state quarterback james miss winston. let's go over his problem. accused of sexual assault two years ago but never really investigated now the school is

forced to investigate. he steals crab legs from a market and gets a suspension from the baseball team not the football team. now there are approximately 900 autographs at winston being sold and if paid for those, it is a suspension inn frack but the coach has notre dame coming up this weekend. >> kids sign thing all the time. so what do you want to do, stop signing stuff? we can make -- not have any fans. i mean from that standpoint and not sign for anybody. i mean that's what it's going to come to. and that's a shame. that's a shame for -- for college football that we can't take a kid and somebody supports a kid f they're getting paid for it i have no knowledge of that. i don't believe james miss did. >> let me clue him in. 900 autographs. most of mini helmets and jersey do you think fans are walking around with mini helmets all the same items. >> he's very generous. >> he is? notre dame is coming up this weekend. >> all right. so he doesn't want him to get suspended for this game. >> he has no knowledge, howard. he noose knowledge. >> they're all dumb.

(laughter). >> and with that, all new at sick governor chris christie answers the question of whether he'd ever want to be a u.s. senator. and incredibly descriptive answer doesn't exactly leave any wiggle room. and kids dressed as super heroes at a local pre-school. this isn't an early halloween celebration. we'll tell you why they're celebration. we'll tell you why they're helping a f
