Nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz is here now to tell us that storm may affect thanksgiving travel plans. Glenn . Renee and jim, we first mentioned this yesterday talking about a coastal storm that was a possibility. It looks more likely today than it did yesterday as more computer models are agreeing on this. The storm developing down to the south. This is on tuesday and staying offshore but close enough to bring rain into the areac on t big travel day wednesday and as it moves past, colder air comes in and potential changeover to snow. This is on one of the busiest travel days of the year. Well get more into that storm possibility a little bit later. But before the storm comes a warmup. My colleague nbc 10 first alert meteorologist Sheena Parveen is following that part of our coverage. Sheena . Thats right. A warmup just in time for the weekend. For tonight, though, were still dealing with the cold and then we have some near record high temperatures as we end out the week and go mostly into monday. Take a look at the temperatures right now. Much of the northeast and all around the great lakes are either in the 20s or 30s. So thats what we have to look forward to tonight. To our south, that is where we see the warmer temperatures, 60s and 70s. This air will be moving in over the weekend. Heres a look at future temperatures. We see the cool air retreating to the north by sunday afternoon. The mild air works its way up much warmer as we go into monday. We are talking about record warm temperatures as we start off next week. So some warm air to look forward to. Then well keep tracking that other storm for you. More details on that coming up. Sheena, if you own property at the jersey shore, youll want to see this next story. This stretch of cold weather is creating some problems. Seems some people didnt take the precautions to protect their vacation homes from the cold. Ted greenberg is live today in Long Beach Township to explain. This is turning out to be costly and a potentially messy problem. It certainly is, jim and renee. This early cold spell has taken a lot of people by surprise. Take a look at what happened here where inside an outdoor shower and a plumber had to cut that pipe because water was gushing out. The same thing has been happening at homes all along the jersey shore this week, including here in Harvey Cedars where you see water spraying from a broken pipe. Ocean city has had more than two dozen of these water leaks from pipes that froze, most at houses now vacant for the winter season. It has been a cold and windy week here at the coast and Officials Say a lot of those homes have not yet had their water shut off for the winter. The cold weather hit us early this year. I think a lot of people were unprepared. They didnt winterize their house properly, turn the water off or have the heat set where it should be. Reporter so how much could a fix like this cost . I talked to some plumbers, coming up at 5 00. Live in Long Beach Township, ted greenberg, nbc 10 news. Breaking news now. We want to take you to that press conference on the tragic shooting in tabernacle, new jersey. I am captain steven jones of the new Jersey State Police. Wed like to provide an outline of what we now know regarding the tragedy that occurred yesterday in tabor knackal. 9 15 yesterday morning dispatch received a 911 call describing a shooting at 39 holly park drive in tabernacle. c when troopers arrived there, they found four people had been shot, three of them were children and tragically, two of them were dead at the scene. Today, the Burlington County medical Examiners Office was able to provide Additional Information through an autopsy and they have identified the two children that have died at the scene as nicholas harrimna and nadia harriman, 8 years old an their brother, alexander is 11 years old, is critically injured along with the mother of all three children. Her name is jeannine lepage. All pay long state Police Detectives were out there at the scene interviewing people and collecting evidence at this point that investigation has miles to go before its complete. We believe with fair confidence that we know who committed this shooting and in addition to that, we know how that shooting was done. To allay public fears at this point, so people dont believe theres any reason to fear in that neighborhood, wed like to provide substantial details. Id like to bring up captain jeff noble. Yesterday, when we provided a press briefing, we identified the four victims of the tragic shooting from yesterday. Today wed like to update that.

That was located in an upstairs bedroom of the residence. A pillow was used to muffle the gunshot sounds which we believe accounts for the reason why the other residents of the house did not hear the gunshot. c the weapon that was used, we believe to shoot all four people, was a revolver. The revolver had been property of the family and had been in the house for a very long time. Its an older weapon. And the weapon itself to the best of our investigation, right now, reveals that the weapon was owned by originally purchased by a person who was in the family a long time ago.

The president s executive order will make nearly 5 million undocumented immigrants eligible for work permits. Republicans say hes breaking the law. With this action, the president has chosen to deliberately sabotage any chance of enacting bipartisan reforms that he claims to seek. And as i told the president yesterday, hes damaging the presidency itself. The president s plan wont happen right away. Children who grew up here cant apply for temporary relief until february. The next, next spring. The president says he wants to change who gets deported. Felons, not families. Criminals, not children. Gang members, not a mom whos working hard to provide for her kids.

Reporter this week, rempd luis cortez jr. Answered a call from the white house. He met with the president yesterday before his announcement. We had an opportunity to ask questions, both of the president and of the staff. The major question was, why now . Reporter cortez worked on Immigration Reform for years. He worked closely with president george w. Bush. Its one of the things that most disturbs him about his presidency. He didnt get this done. He thought he could. Reporter he told me the president s plan calls for legalization, not citizenship. As well as a penalty for those allowed to stay. Cortez also said the president told him his plan would create a new revenue stream by taxing the currently untaxed immigrants, a plan that benefits the economy more than trying to deport all undocumented immigrants.
