>> yeah, we are tracking relief from the heat. first it will come with the rain but i think it is pretty welcome at this point. take a look at how the week has really shaped up. we are still in the heat wave. temperatures right now in the mid 90s. for the past few days we have been ten degrees above average which is now 82 degrees. if you are starting your labor day weekend tomorrow, you will be seeing a bit of a break from this heat. temperatures more like the 80s because we do have rain in the forecast. i don't think this will be for everybody but some rain in the forecast will cause temperatures to not get as hot as we go into your friday. so the temperatures will be mostly in the 80s as we see rain moving through and the rain mostly starting in the middle of the day. so we will see that move in. we could have a couple thunderstorms, too. then we go into the weekend and conditions really start to change. we will take a look at that forecast coming up. if you are hitting the roads, there will be a welcome sight at the gas station when you fill up. >> that's right. gas prices are dropping.

some drivers could see them under the $2 mark. imagine that. nbc 10 found gas at $1.97 for a gallon of regular at this gas station in woodbury. the national average could drop as low as $2.44 a gallon. that would be the lowest since 2004. let's check xwgas prices in our area. the average is $2.40 right now. in delaware, $2.29. in south jersey, $2.22. philadelphia will be a top destination for thousands of music fans this weekend. >> it will be packed. the made in america festival starts saturday. here's a look at the ben franklin parkway, where organizers have been working to set up that concert stage. this weekend's music fest will be the last big event in philadelphia before hope francis comes to town. nbc 10's doug shimell is live with more on security and what is new at the festival this year. >> reporter: of course, beyonce, a tried and true staple of this

nfl season opener one week from tonight. watch that game right here on nbc 10. while we're talking about football, it is in the spotlight tonight on nbc 10. the eagles of course taking on the jets in the preseason finale. >> this is the last chance for several players to prove they deserve a spot on the roster. we have nbc 10 live team coverage inside and outside met life stadium in the meadowlands. john clark is talking to players and randy gyllenhaal has fan excitement leading up to tonight's game. randy, start with you. >> reporter: we just saw the team bus arrive here at the meadowlands on this scorching hot day for the final preseason game. we have also run into a few die-hard eagle fans making that 80 mile trip up from philadelphia to met life stadium. these fans are going to bet the chance to watch the battle of the third string quarterback. matt barkley will likely start the game, tim tebow will probably take over after halftime. who is going to get that final spot? call it the final test for these

two guys. earlier today, we asked eagle fans if they think tim tebow deserves that final spot on the roster. >> he's a lot of hype. there's nothing behind the flash. i think matt barkley's never gotten a decent chance here. >> barkley has not been productive. he's got his opportunities. i think tim tebow deserves a second chance. >> reporter: those fans will get a lot of time to make up their minds. both these guys will play a lot of minutes tonight. let's head inside met loife stadium's comcast sport net's john clark is talking to players ahead of tonight's game. john? >> reporter: it's not any cooler in here. this is a huge game for a lot of players on the eagles right now. they have to go from 75 players on the roster to 53 after this so 22 eagles out here tonight will be cut and lose their jobs. as you talked about, it is the battle for the third quarterback job with tim tebow and matt

barkley. matt barkley will start the game. he should play most of the first half. then tim tebow will come in for the rest of it. take a look at tebow in action this preseason. neither quarterback has separated themselves from the other and both are only completing about 50% of their passes but tim tebow has the ability to run. tebow was last on an nfl team two years ago with the patriots and he was cut by the pats right after this final preseason game. so this is his chance tonight to stay in this league and try and make this eagles team. >> i wouldn't say more nervous. i always get excited, nervous, every time i set foot on the field in practice or a game. >> you approach it the exact same. you just try to focus, understand what they're doing. we don't game plan too much. but get in studying, get recovered and ready to go and go out there and compete. >> reporter: once again, matt

nomination. but trump is under no legal obligation to abide by the document. trump says he sees no circumstance under which he would break the pledge. >> the question was what did i get for signing the pledge. absolutely nothing other than the assurance that i would be treated fairly and i have seen that over the last two months because they really have been very fair. >> trump has 30% support nationwide among republican voters according to today's monmouth poll. that's his highest rating so far. now to democratic front-runner hillary clinton. her aides are urging a former state department employee who set up her private e-mail server to test before a house investigative panel but the staffer says he will use his constitutional right not to testify. clinton is continuing her campaign despite criticism about her use of a private e-mail server to conduct business during her time as secretary of state. meantime, the chairman of the pennsylvania democratic party is expressing excitement at the possibility of a presidential run from vice president joe biden. if biden joins the democratic

a breakthrough in the fight against infections. a new study published in the journal for infection diseases says patients have had tremendous effects fighting off

turns out the number of teens taking college entrance exams is up but the scores are going down. a record 1.7 million current college freshmen took the s.a.t.s but fewer than half, about 42%, met the college and career readiness benchmark, an indication of how prepared a student is for a basic college education. s.a.t. scores came down for the fifth year in a row in reading, math and writing. here's how the state breaks down around our area. these are the average test scores from s.a.t. takers from the class of 2015. keep in mind 2400 is a perfect score. new jersey ranks the best in our area with an average of 1520. pennsylvania students averaged 1485. delaware students were the lowest at 1358. when pope francis is in
