>> the they know was as white as you are tall. >> a popular item at the playground is slowly being removed at schools in washington state. swing sets are becoming a thing of the past. at one school district it's due to a push from insurance companies who say they're just too dangerous. they say the sets tour blame for most play ground injuries across the country. >> the schools get modern knifed oren know 58ed as we're doing work on the playground equipment, we'll take out the swings. it's just really a safety issue. swings have been determined to be the probably the most unsafe of all the playground equipment on a play ground. >> wow. each year nearly 2,000 children wind up in the emergency room due to an accident on the play ground. >> wow. back to your fox 29 weather authority scott the weather is beautiful for fall right now. a little cold yesterday. it's getting a little warmer. >> speaking of swings, we had

some temperature swings today. low 40s for philadelphia and wilmington. trenton 38 degrees this morning and 2 degrees away from freezing in the poconos at 34. but right now temperatures have recovered. pretty nicely a beautiful afternoon. we're looking at low 70s right now. a little breezy. winds are out of the south southeast at 13 miles an hour. you can see old glory kind of flapping there in the wind the sun will set this evening at 6:35. so as we talk a little bit about the high temperatures in the area in the low 70s looking pretty good. you can see 71 in allentown right now. 72 reading. 71 in wilmington as well as dover. we're looking at sixty-seven degrees currently in atlantic city. so compared to this same time yesterday, we're about 10 degrees warmer in philadelphia. 15 degrees warmer in the pocono mountains. and 10 degrees warmer in dover. so if you're stepping outdoors, it will be breezy. mild to start. but then those temperatures will be dropping comfortably cool we'll call it 62 at 9:00 p.m.

60 degrees by 11:00. a spotty shower is late tonight as the cloud cover increases out ahead of our first disturbance that we'll watch over the neck several days so ultimate doppler is dry for now across our entire area. but toward the western and central part of the state, we're watching that first disturbance move through. not a whole lot of rainfall and really it will be spotty once it arrives towards our area. so a couple of systems here the first one that will move through during the overnight to bring a spotty shower chance. then a better chance with the second system that's right now moving through sections of minnesota. that will arrive tomorrow evening and overnight. so as we watch the clock, we're dry but the cloud cover starts to increase by 10:00 o'clock after midnight. north and west mainly toward the pocono mountains by 1:00 o'clo 1:00 o'clock. watching for some spotty showers. when you're watching sue serio tomorrow morning at 4:00 a.m. she'll probably be tracking a few spotty showers north and west. and then as we move throughout the day tomorrow, decreasing cloud cover for the first part of the day and then the clouds roll back in tomorrow night as

we watch another disturbance move through. so by 10:00 p.m., more showers moving in across the area. but that one will be moving out rapidly. likely clearing the coast to start your wednesday morning so the timing for both of these systems will be overnight. so mostly cloudy. spotty showers after midnight tonight. temperatures not as chilly. low 50s in the suburb. mid to upper 50s in the city. tomorrow early spotty showers, to start the day, and then we'll call it partly sunny but more showers return at night. 75 degrees will be the high temperature tomorrow with those winds warming us out of the south and west. as we move toward your wednesday, a spotty shower but clearing. low 70s and then turning a little cooler as we move into thursday. 68 degrees. another disturbance that arrives as we move into your friday will bring clouds and temperatures only topped out in the mid 60s. so friday right now looks to be kind of the dam many and drearier day of the week.

leftover showers saturday. but we'll keep some clouds around and temperatures only in the mid 60s for highs. >> all right. >> thank you scott. >> blankets on the bed again. >> yeah. >> thanks. >> heat up a little bit. >> as long as sunday is dry. and he is earl somely sunday night. >> okay. >> right? >> it looks dry now. >> okay. no promises here. >> now. >> for now. >> today is monday. >> all right. the eagles won on sunday believe the or not against st. louis. at this point, i'm almost sure everybody knows that, but with what's being said in town and on talk radio you would not know the eagles are four and one i do realize why the fans are concerned. there are areas of the team that need to be better. and one is nick foles. in one area, that's an area that needs improvement and foles knows it. coming off that great season he had last season, the expectations are high this year. but nick foles has to make better throws. especially when he has open receivers. i think at times you can be too

technical with his fundamentals but the question remains about throwing off his back foot. >> i think sometimes when it happens there's a rush and he's trying to slide to the right or slide to the left not setting has feet when he slides. in terms of staying on top of it and staying in a good pocket to throw the ball. he can fix it. it's just a matter of drill work, fundamental do a lot of movement drill. bill does nice job from that stand point. >> he'll be better on sunday night. one area that is clearly big reason the eagles have won four games special team that area of the team that can win games that is the case with eagles. eagles blocked another punt yesterday for a touchdown. no other team in nfl history has blocked punts for touchdowns in two consecutive weeks. >> in this league where everything is so close, there's very very rare blow outs anywhere. the game is usually coming down to a possession are two. special teams is something i think you need to address.

>> culture that chip is running and the culture of the eagles. it's not -- no one is saying i just want to catch the ball and run. i want to play offense. everyone understands we want to win. we'll do whatever it takes to win. playing special teams is more of a privilege here than it is -- most people... >> week five in the nfl shows there are many weak teams and everybody has problems. for instance, the detroit lions, can't find a field goal kicker that can make a field goal between 40 and 49 yards. a former eagle fell into that situation yesterday. let's go to the detroit. remember alex henry? listen. doink. detroit lost by three. he missed three field goals. and of course, you have the new york jets. they flat out stink. they're one and four. geno smith can't play.

san diego they got crushed. geno smith played one half and then michael vick came in and he was just as bad. doesn't rex ryan have to get fired before the end of the season? >> couldn't convert a third down. we remember one of 12 converting third downs whopping 8%. gave up 60% conversion rate on third down on defense. and it only seemed like 100% but it was complete, bleep whooping and it was me that was get mike ass kicked. apologize to our fans. those that are left. (laughter). >> let me tell you, they would be better off if you just resigned. he's a bad coach. that team has gone nowhere for years. >> all right. >> how war, thanks. >> coming up at six if you don't know latin this local library sign mike look impressive but it doesn't quite mean what the authors were going for. how they are correcting the mistake. >> and we're checking in on betty.
