Breaking it down enabled by neighborhood with the rain, we have the rain in the northern and western suburbs, montgomery, bucks, further to the south were seeing the rain down into the pottstown area, into areas of chester county, into new castle in delaware, and then south jersey right now. So seeing these waves of rain coming through for the day today and we do have that Flash Flood Watch in effect. Well have an update on what you can expect, the wind gusts coming up in just a bit. Thanks, steve. The wet weather means fans heading to the eagles game will have to pack that rain gear and be prepared. The players also need to be prepared for whats expected to be a messy matchup against the 49ers. Nbc 10s Randy Gyllenhaal joins us live from lincoln financial field just outside the linc for a preview. Randy . Reporter hey, rosemary, get ready for that south philly soaker. It started raining about 20 minutes ago, pretty light right now. It is tarp city out here right now. A little rain not stopping any of these fans when the birds are 61. Eagles reporter the fans started showing up around 6 00 this morning, finding creative ways to stay dry. We spotted a lot of tents, tarps, ponchos, but we still found a lot of breakfast cooking on the grill this morning. So the best game plan for fans today coming to the game, pack that poncho, a jacket. We should note that umbrellas are not allowed inside the linc and not everybody is taking that advice. Im going to go in my shorts and a jersey just like a real fan would. We dont need the ponchos. We dont need the rain gear. We dont care. Go birds. Reporter at least its not freezing cold today. Remember this game, the snow bowl, from 2013 against the lions. The eagles beat detroit and beat Mother Nature that day. A pretty difficult game. Todays game is not going to be nearly as tough for them out on the field, but the weather could prove to be a bit of an equalizer. 49ers have not won a single game all season. But the slippery conditions out there are going to make it tough. You can expect a running game on both sides. We should note that carson wentz has not had much experience playing in severely difficult weather when he was in college he played in a covered zone. He did grow up in the frozen tundra so should have no problem. Randy gyllenhaal, nbc 10 news. Good point.
