weekend. last weekend, we had a lot of live coverage. people were having fun. i think it's going to be better now. a live look outside. you can see that we've got this clear sky overhead. we're seeing the cracks of sunlight on the horizon. officially sunrise hits a little after 7:00 a.m. this morning. let's go to the philly neighborhood tap. the early start to the tailgating, it's still cold now. 35 out there now. en dora at 36. and 32 for the current reading in bustle ton. lehigh valley, at 39 in reading. got 30s in areas like white hall and for america town at 40. walnut fort at 33 degrees to start. don't worry. there is that nice climb no matter which neighborhood you are in. wide view of radar and satellite on first alert radar. not a lot to track. clouds building to the west are

moving our way. yes, those are a few light little sprinkles of rain trying to make it to the ground. here's the good news. i don't think that will impact us for today or for the game tonight. look at the hour by hour model. i'll show you what i'm talking about. as we get into the afternoon hours, increasing clouds. cloudy as you tailgate. but no rain. in the midst of the game, look at it. no action over philly and that is going to stay dry for game time. the spotty showers hang to the north and west, especially in the overnight hours. 11:00 and the game, could a little sprinkle get closer to the field? could you need to put on the wipers briefly? yes. but i think we'll stay dry through the game itself. best chance is an isolated shower in the morning drive. otherwise, it will be pretty dry but cloudy monday that we're dealing with.

it's tuesday that kicks up a notch. landsville at 49 m cliffs town at 47 degrees. low 50s in new jersey neighborhoods and the jersey shore. smyrna at 51. rehoboth beach, 50 for a high. kickoff at 48 degrees and cloudy. we'll stay cloudy at halftime, 45 degrees. down to 44 in the fourth quarter. you have a mid-level jacket. not the puffiest one or the lightest one. 54 degrees on monday with an isolated chance of a shower. best chance of rain with periodic heavy rain on tuesday with 58 degrees. a bit of a cooldown midweek. back up to the 50s by next weekend. this is sports desk. i'm danny pommels, nbc sports
