The magnitude of the situation comes to the front of your head. Reporter fire chief Francis Dixon was among some two dozen firefighters who rushed to a fire burning in the same building at st. Charles seminary, where pope francis was staying over the weekend. The first time in close to five years that they had to respond to a call there. Thought we were going to go down there, be up for 30 hours, and nothing happen. Here we go in the middle of the whole thing, we receive a fire alarm. Reporter no one was hurt in the small fire that broke out in an elevator around 10 45 saturday night. Authorities say it appears an electrical malfunction in the wiring was to blame.

He laid a bouquet of flowers at an altar and spent some time in private prayer. Now your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz. And as we had been predicting for over a week, the rain stayed to the south. We had a nice comfortable weekend. Well, its not that comfortable anymore. Its warm and muggy. It feels like summertime out there. Back to 83 degrees today. Weve got some heavy rain coming. Perhaps twice in the next sevenday period and some of that could be tropical moisture. Thats pretty dark out there, we have some showers, especially in the western sky where were looking right now. 80 degrees, 12 degrees warmer than it was at this time yesterday. And were in the mid 70s north and west, near 80 degrees around philadelphia and as we head toward the shore, it is a little bit cooler and its going to stay cooler and its going to stay windier and it may get wetter, too. Heres that east wind, and the temperatures down a little bit. Theres been some beach erosion, high tides, rough surf over the last several days. Thats nothing compared to later this week. Got to watch out if youre down the shore or if you have interest at the shore for whats going to be happening. We have just some isolated showers around, but some of them right in the philadelphia area, as you can see, Delaware County theyll be going into Montgomery County in the next half hour, just light. But its not going to stay light through the week. Ill tell you that. Tomorrow we could see some fog and maybe some drizzle early in the day, few showers in the afternoon, but the main threat comes tomorrow night and those yellows and reds, thats a lot of yellow and red. That is heavy, heavy rain. Some areas getting more than two inches, especially in the poconos, lehigh valley, bucks county, youre likely to get the most rain out of system number one. More showers during the day wednesday and maybe even into thursday. They are totally unrelated to the tropical system here. There it is. Theres the coast of florida. Something in this area at this time of year generally scoots right out to sea, but were an extreme kind of blocking pattern that is going to prevent that. Max winds 35 miles an hour, not moving very much, not very intense, not very well organized, but its over very warm water and if the conditions become more favorable, it would become Tropical Storm joaquin. This is the forecast track from the hurricane center. Obviously, taking it somewhere close enough to the jersey shore to have a lot of interest in that, but its not just a 50 mile an hour wind storm. This is day after day of onshore winds, High Pressure to the north, low pressure to the south, and look at all that east wind. So the strong onshore wind could lead to coastal flooding and beach erosion. And its this High Pressure, gigantic area of High Pressure in canada, thats acting as the blocking pattern to prevent this from going out to sea. And cause it to perhaps make a left turn right into a portion of the east coast. We dont know exactly what area is going to get hit the hardest, but some area from new england down to virginia is likely to get hit really hard with this towards the end of the week and into the weekend. Isolated showers with fog late tonight. 67 for the low in philadelphia. During the day tomorrow, warm and humid, showers around. Much more activity at night. Highs in the low 80s and the high humidity, too. Its not going to feel that warm on wednesday, few showers around, then the wind starts to pick up thursday and friday, then some of the rain comes in and regardless of where that storm makes landfall, were likely to see significant rain and wind. All right, hurricane, thanks, eagles losing cody parkey for the season, who are they signing . Jonathan papelbon played his last name for the nationals . Paps punishment next. This is the xfinity sports desk brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. Hey, im john clark with comcast sportsnet. Cody parkey is out for the season. The birds worked out three kickers today, they are signing former dolphin caleb sturgis. Cody suffered a leg injury in pregame warmups yesterday, separate from the groin injury in the preseason. As you can see, it affected him during kickoffs. Interesting chip kelly didnt go with two more today. Keiko alonso is visiting a doctor today to see if hes going to need another surgery on his sprained knee. He, of course, tore it last year in buffalo. Rookie linebacker jordan hicks steps in nicely yesterday. His first nfl start, he had the fumble recovery there and an interception, then another rookie, cornerback eric rode stepped in, too, he got his first nfl pick. First time in 28 years the birds had two rookies with interceptions in the same game and jordan joined us on nbc 10s game day final. Awesome to see, you know, stepping up, weve gotten really tight here over the past few months and come in with the same mindset. Have fun, go out and play and have fun. We all remember Brian Westbrooks miracle at the meadowlands 12 years ago that saved that birds season. Maybe Darren Sproles return yesterday will be thought of in the same way. Biggest play of the game, Darren Sproles has the most returned touchdowns in the nfl since he joined the eagles yesterday. Malcolm jenkins was his teammate in new orleans, too, and told us hes not surprised sproles keeps doing this. Its a walk through, he catches the ball on the punt and hes full speed. Hes in his head going through making guys miss, so when uh yo see him in a game, its the same exact thing. Its not surprising to us. Only a couple things guaranteed in this league and one is hes going to make the first person miss and if you block everybody else, youre going to score. Malcolm is right. Jonathan papelbon for the second straight september has been suspended by the team that hes playing for for grabbing something. The phils suspended him last september after pat made a gesture towards phillies fans, then yesterday he grabbed bryce harper by the throat. Started a fight, the nationals have suspended him four games for that. Hes suspended three games for another incident, so his season is over and his career with the nats is probably over. The team has removed his jerseys from their stadium shop. Keep your hands to yourself. Im john clark. Were right back. Your immune system doesnt work the way it did when rock was young.

So, if you hopped around the clock, ask your doctor or pharmacist about fluzone highdose. Fluzone highdose vaccine. Before we go, one last memorable moment over the weekend when pope francis blessed baby after baby. Did you see that . The creativity award goes to the parents right here who dressed their baby as a mini me pope. And the pope clearly thought it was amusing as he passed by on the parkway. Dozens of babies were hand delivered to the holy father. A memory, of course, that will live with them, the families, for the rest of their lives. Once the babies realize what happened later as they get older, theyll remember it, too. We have some changes on the way in terms of the weather, right, glenn . Yeah, i want to show you about the potential of whats going on happening this week. Different computer models and the amounts of rain. Heres one of them. Look at that. 8. 2 inches for allentown. This is from the first phase that comes in. Now we dont take these literally that theres actually going to be eight inches of rain in allentown. Theres a different model that gives 2. 3 inches to allentown. About the same for us. Then another round coming over the weekend, look at that, four to six inches of rain. Then a third model that is showing huge amounts of rain, too. A soccer. For all of us here, good evening. Tonight, cold war. A frosty showdown between the u. S. And russia. Did putin just outmaneuver president obama on the world stage as the two leaders meet one on one for first time in years. Trumps tax plan. He calls it common sense. Some believe its a major windfall for the rich. Tonight, who would see their tas go up, who would see them if down, and who would pay for it all. Sticker shock over a staple of the american breakfast table. Cereal suddenly getting more expensive. Shrinking boxes and concerns at the Grocery Store about whats behind it. And signs of life . Nasas exciting New Discovery on mars as millions take in a breathtaking show in the night sky. Nightly news begins right now
