You can see they have done a pretty good job but just over to the top portion of the screen you see they are still in the process of moving some of those ba barricades so there is a closure there. Two lanes appear to be getting by. So it does appear to be a normal rush hour, on a friday evening. People were very anxious about getting home from work, especially in light of all of the people we saw down there, thousands and thousands of people packed within the city hall area. Trying to watch this parade. And fortunately, everyone has cleared out. People are getting to their cars, getting through the streets and getting to where they need to go.

We will have it tomorrow for part of the area. The clouds are here now. They are going to stay around tonight and tomorrow we will bring rainsnow mix through the area and some of you could be seeing snow. That would be wet snow too. Ill show you the timing in a second after all of that leaves. We go into sunday morning and freezing temperatures return. Were talking about 20s sunday morning with the freeze watch for much of the area right now. Monday that is the phillies home opener and well start to get milder. Mid40s through the Lehigh Valley. 50 in philadelphia. 47 in trenton. Around 50 degrees for much of new jersey and delaware and winds are still gusting near 30 miles an hour. Its all ahead of this system. Its not a very impressive system. Its a clipper system around chicago with rain and snow. But as far as heavy precipitation were not seeing too much. It will move in to start your weekend. In the meantime were going to stay dry as we go into tonight. So this is future weather as we go overnight temperatures drop into the 30s, its going to get colder tonight. Then tomorrow morning here you see it by 8 00 a. M. , and the computer models have been consistent on the timing of this. And pretty much on the placement of the rain and snow. So by 8 00 in the morning we could see a rainsnow mix around philadelphia through parts of New Castle County. Rain likely in new jersey and delaware. Temperatures there should be around 40 degrees. North and west of philadelphia we should be seeing mostly snow. Or maybe a rainsnow mix. But temperatures will be in the 30s in spots. 10 00 a. M. Were still seeing this move through. And we have to watch the timing closely because if it moves in early enough the temperatures could be a little bit colder and we could start to see sticking, mostly i dont think we will. By 2 00 in the afternoon a rainsnow mix continuing, temperatures above freezing, then saturday night and it all clears out. Then we get colder as we go into sunday morning. 7 00 a. M. In the 20s, areas that see heavier pockets of precip could be seeing freezing as we go into sunday morning. Maybe some icy conditions so well have to watch that closely too. For the snow forecast, mostly it will be grassy accumulation. It will be a wet snow, so the chances of it sticking on the roads, they are going to be pretty small but there is a chance some of this could stick on the roadways early. The grassy accumulation is going to be the best bet here. South jersey and delaware, mainly rain for these areas. The warmest temperatures across the area. Then we go through philadelphia, New Castle County up to trenton. Maybe an inch or less. Its going to mix with rain so hard to accumulate especially falling right in the middle of the day. Lehigh valley, poconos, possibly 1 to 2 inches. Well have to watch those temperatures closely. Either way were going to see a rainsnow mix tomorrow. Tonight cloudy and cold, dry, 38 for the low in philadelphia, 32 areas north and west, and then we see the rain and snow move in tomorrow morning. Its going to be a windy day. Winds gusting up to 30 miles an hour. Windy and cold, now the High Temperature through the day will be later in the day, not in the morning when the rain and snow gets here but parts of new jersey and delaware we could be in the low 40s. So highs tomorrow right around 40 degrees. And we go into sunday. 49 but windy and cold, we start with temperatures in the 20s. Phillies home opener monday. Thanks.

Its going to be here to start the weekend. Its not unusual to see Something Like this this time of the year, if the its cold enough. And if we have a small clipper system like the one youre seeing on the radar. Thats all still very far away around chicago, locally we are dry but that rain and snow, its heading in this direction. Its not going to be here tonight so friday night looks good. Its chilly around 50 degrees and a pretty strong wind. Still gusting near 30 miles an hour. Its going to stay windy and chilly as we go through the next few hours and the wind will diminish overnight. Picking back up again tomorrow though. This is future weather, tonight we drop down in the 30s, by tomorrow morning. Then we go into your saturday morning, 9 00 a. M. , already seeing the approach of this system. Some snow north and west of philadelphia, rain, most likely through south jersey and parts of delaware because temperatures there will be warmer. Well watch the timing of this closely. If it moves in early enough we do have areas through the Lehigh Valley that could be freezing so any snow falling would have a better chance of sticking. Mostly, though, any accumulation will be on grassy surfaces and the chance of it sticking would be a little less likely. So coming up ill show you through the rest of the afternoon for saturday. Its going to last for a while for saturday and colder as we go into sunday. Details straight ahead. An amazing end to an amazing season.

We brought you this last night at 11 00. Today we learned that police are investigating the picture which was shared on snapchat. Brian thompson has their reaction. I was so disgusted. Jamaica disgusted by this picture of a house party, students placing cups in the shape after swastika and a star of david for a beer pong drinking game or jews versus nazis. Here with her mom says some of the students begged her to take it down from her blog post. Im not going to lie, i considered doing so because i know these kids. And i didnt want to cause myself any problems at school. But i couldnt bring myself to do it. I felt it was the right thing to leave it up. Princeton high is one of the top schools in the state. Some jewish students telling me they werent so offended. There is a big difference between being a nazi or antisemitic on purpose and just being stupid and drunk in a basement. Classmates tell me some of the students in this picture are jewish and helped set up the game, while others left the party, one jewish parent is outraged. They think its offensive to humanity. The superintendent in a statement says quote i am deeply upset some of our students chose to engage in a drinking game with clearly antisemitic overtones and broadcast their behavior over social media. Beyond the symbolism there is also the underage drinking. My hope is that parents stop saying boys will be boys and stop saying its a rite of passage. Reporter whether the students in the picture are disciplined or not is not clear. But we are told that the School Administration is talking with them individually as well as with their parents. In princeton, brian thomson, nbc 10 news. A problem for millions of americans, Student Loan Debt nearly half of those who owe arent paying at all according to the wall street journal. 43 of those with Student Loans are not making payments, the Obama Administration has introduced a socalled revised pay as you earn plan that caps payments at 10 of the income and each forgives remaining debt after payments are made for 20 years. But the agencies that collect and apply payments have been overwhelmed by the volume in applications. It really is absolutely about service or accountability, making sure that borrowers know their options, and that the servicer is helping to guide borrowers into the right repayment plan that is good for them in their situation. While that 43 figure may seem high it actually is a slight improvement from last year. The nonpayment rate then was 46 . Something we dont usually hear. It will soon be less expensive to mail that letter. The price of stamps is going down. A regular stamp will cost 47 down from 49 cents. International letters go down 5 cents and a post card will be a penny cheaper at 34 cents. Well, chilly and windy outside now. But tomorrow its going to be different. We have rain and snow in the forecast, right now center city seeing the clouds around and those will hang around overnight. Then tomorrow they will bring those rain and snow showers through the area. Then freezing temperatures come in behind that. Well see temperatures in the 20s by sunday morning, and then were talking about the phillies home opener monday, temperatures will be milder. So at least thats good news. Ill show you these forecasts in a minute. Right now for tonight, well be dropping down into the 40s, low 40s by 11 00 p. M. Then well be in the 30s by tomorrow morning. Thats the time when this clipper system, this rain and snow, is going to start to move into the area. Currently its around chicago, and the great lakes, locally though, were dry. Were going to stay dry as we go through friday evening. You dont have to worry about this rain or snow. But by tomorrow morning we need to worry about part of the area. Theres not a lot of moisture with it and as it moves through its not going to get very heavy but well be watching it closely. The clouds around. Future weather as we go through tonight. Clouds increase, temperatures drop down in the 30s by tomorrow morning and then you see by 8 00 in the morning some rain and snow across the area. The best chance of rain will be in new jersey and most of delaware where temperatures will be in the 40s, but some spots like New Castle County at least around the wilmington area through philadelphia and north and west we could see a rainsnow mix. Well have to watch the timing because through the Lehigh Valley temperatures could be close to freezing. If this moves in at that time which wouldnt be too much earlier than 8 00 a. M. We could see some of it sticking. The chances will be small and the best accumulation will be on grassy surfaces. 11 00 tomorrow morning were still seeing the system across the area. Still looking at snow north and west, rain through new jersey and delaware, still a wintry mix as we go into the early afternoon. Then we go into saturday night, finally it all clears out but we get a lot colder sunday morning, temperatures in the 20s, we have a freeze watch out for most of the area again because of the cold temperatures, if you have sensitive plants cover them or bring them inside if you can. Snow forecast keep in mind mainly grassy accumulations but there is a chance it could stick early on to roads, mostly melting, though, so at least thats good. Especially falling right during the day.
