warm up overall, leading to our warm up starting tomorrow. more on that with the seven day in a few minutes. be alert to possible road closures on route 73 in maple shade because workers are repairing a water main break along the busy highway. sky force 10 over the area near styles avenue. officials say residents can expect low water pressure in the north end of town. today we learned new details a week after the death of a camden county 3-year-old found in the woods. >> investigators looked at the water levels of the cooper river but we still don't know how brendan died. >> nbc 10 cydney long joins us live from haden township. you saw thele little biopsy's family today. >> reporter: i did just for a couple of minutes, just a few hours ago and right outside the father's apartment as it appeared the family was gathering evidence for the little boy's funeral but it comes after a weekend when investigators continue searching

we've got an 11 mile-per-hour wind. five degrees warmer than it was at this time yesterday. so it was really cold yesterday. 50 degrees in westchester. we had some snow flurries reported. 48 now pocono. we had temperatures down in the 20s this morning so some places going up a good 30 degrees. and we're going to see even bigger warm up tomorrow. temperatures in the 20s this morning. quakertown, pottstown, 25. doylestown 26. reading 28. trenton is 27. that was the only record that was set. 35 degrees in philadelphia. we have pretty much of a hard freeze just about every where and so the growing season officially ended according to the national weather service. we do have dry conditions across the entire region, a few clouds up towards canada. look how dry the eastern half of the country is.

so, we're in for a fairly dry if not completely dry week this week. now, here's the future cast for the temperatures. with a southwest wind it's not going to allow the temperature to drop a whole lot tonight especially in the city. so we may get a big difference between the city and the suburbs and the computer model not picking that up as well as it probably would be. so watch what happens here as we go through the morning. by 6:00, 7:00 a.m. i would expect it to be in the mid-40s in philadelphia. might be some 30s to the north and west. we could easily see a ten degree temperature difference between the city and some of the colder suburbs but it's going to warm up quickly tomorrow. wednesday 70 degrees. there's that 70 in philadelphia. 54 degrees right now with bright sunshine. so the atmosphere has to warm up tremendously in order to get to

70 degrees with sunshine tomorrow. and then that's going to mean it's not going to cool off that much tomorrow night and then we warm right back up into the 70s on wednesday. we're starting in the 50s and there are those 70s. now we're talking mid-70s on wednesday. for the eagles tonight, we're close to the 70s. that's for sure. it's unseasonably cold but there's at least not a whole lot of wind. temperature 47 just before the game. kick-off at 44 degrees and then holding pretty steady. this isn't going to keep us steady for the rest of the week. back to the west 68 degrees right now in detroit. 70 in chicago. 78 in st. louis. and 80 in wichita, kansas. there's some warm air and some of that is what is headed our way as we go through the next couple of days, straight west flow brings the warmer air in, and it's also continuing to feed the dry air in here. so we're going to stay dry for

much if not all of this week. so for tonight, we expect mostly clear skies. going to be another chilly one but not as cold as it was this morning. 35 in philadelphia, mid-20s in some of the northern western suburbs this morning. that's not quite as cold. still need a jacket in the morning. not going to need a jacket by afternoon probably after what we saw today. that 70 degrees tomorrow will feel mighty warm much warmer during the afternoon and south-southwest winds at 10 to 15 miles per hour. wednesday even warmer. thursday up to 77 degrees. so now we're talking about 10 degrees above average. but then we got 20 degree temperature drop for friday. and then we start warming up a little bit over the weekend and by sunday we could be back up to 70. the archdiocese of philadelphia is closing a church in manayunk.

public works said they won't salt the roads until temperatures get a little bit colder. welcome to winter a little early. welcome back. the cold air is with us. for how long. here's glenn schwartz. >> not a whole lot longer. one pretty chilly night ahead and than big quick warm up. blue sky will help tomorrow, let the sun warm things up way more than what we saw today. look how cold it was this morning. 20 degrees in mount pocono. 25 in allentown. quakertown. 26 in doylestown. 25 in pottstown. now there were some snow flurries in parts of chester county yesterday. some the first of the season. but it doesn't necessarily mean we're in for a cold weather pattern here. right now temperatures have rebounded into the 50s so it's way below average. average high is 67 for this time

of the year. and even with sunshine to be that far below average that's a cold air mass. that air mass will be changing. west wind now. not very strong but it's going bring in warmer air tomorrow. won't help us tonight. need to bundle up for the eagles game, 47 degrees for tailgating, then 44. it doesn't drop very much as we go through the rest of the game. the atmosphere is trying to warm up hour by hour. wait until you see how warm with the seven day in just a few minutes. >> thanks, glen. we're two and a half hours away from our game day wickoff special. >> tim furlong once again live in ski force 10 with a look at the action from above. how is it tooking? >> building up a little bit. we're four hours before kick-off. look at broad street exit coming off the bridge there coming north from the airport. you can see it's starting to slow down because everybody of course wants to get off 95 south

and north in the same spot to get into the sports complex. might want to consider using public transportation to get out here or come in from a different angle than you're seeing. a lot of people coming in to the tailgate lots by the wells fargo center. lots going on here all day. some of those people in the rvs they have been here a while. they are just having fun and having some beverages, i'm imagining. but they are going to have a good time. they are not sitting in the traffic as the work day ends for a lot of people. that's when it will build up a little bit here. all in good fun. take your time. give yourself plenty of time. make sure you take it extra slow and give yourself extra time and strategize some of the other ways to get here aside from i-95. if you can think of those ways. that seems like a good idea. take the broad street line down and walk up to the field for tonight's dpam. that way you get home nice and

manslaughter and not guilty of third degree manslaughter charges. >> joining me now for analysis is our legal expert. thanks for being here this afternoon. let's start off with what does it say about the prosecution's case that jurors opted for the lesser charge. >> it says the jury did not believe the prosecution's theory. he was charged with third degree murder. that was the original lead charge in this case. at this point after being acquitted of third degree murder and being found guilty of the misdeamnor and involuntary manslaughter the lead charge is aggravated assault. in order for the prosecution to prove its case the third degree murder charge needs malice. it means the defendant in this case was aware and knew that this could cause death and didn't care because he wanted to cut corners. the involuntary manslaughter, on the other hand, says he did know. he was an idiot.

he was doing this job but didn't know it was going to cause death but grossly negligent. >> griffith campbell had a chance to plea out before trial started. but he turned it down. >> he had an opportunity to plead guilty to the charges he ended up with. the prosecution planned to drop the third degree murder charges for a plea bargain. so is that loss for the prosecution because after going through a complete trial, jury trial and spending all the money that it takes to prosecute a trial he ended up with the same exact charges. so this is kind of a win for the defense because he doesn't have the third degree murder charges only the involuntary manslaughter which is misdeamnor awrong the felony catastrophe and aggravated assault charges. >> the possible sentences are a lot less in this case now. >> yes. he's definitely looking at significant decrease in time and this is able for him when he goes to sentencing to tell a

judge, the jury did not believe i murdered anyone. this is involuntary. my behavior was he negligent. >> thanks again for weighing in here. we'll have more reaction on this story coming up tonight at 5:00. we appreciate it. losing weight and oprah winfrey. oprah's new business venture next. >> drinking alcohol while sfleg some new health guidelines are out. >> plus gets rid of jellyfish down at the jersey shore. what people did that hopefully will eliminate them next summer.

based on new study doctors say any amount of alcohol during pregnancy can lead to brain, heart and kidney problems in children even learning disabilities and memory problems opinion drinking during the first trimester boosts the risks by a whopping 65%. all right guys you can skip the supplements that's the word from fox chase cancer center when it comes to men with prostate cancer. some men take pills that have anti-cancer or proven healing effects. but supplements do not lower the risk of the cancer, risk of it spreading or dying from that disease. they do nothing to change the progression of the cancer at all. scientists say the supplements are not unsafe just unnecessary. she's famously talked openly about her struggles to lose weight and now oprah winfrey is buying into weight watchers in a big way.

reporter spent two months on the streets in philadelphia. on any given night there's hundreds of teens and young adults searching for a place to live. we documented the very personal stories of 16 people in our digital exclusive, faceless of homeless youth. go to our nbc 10 app for a look at the problem and solutions. we had a hard freeze through much of the area this morning. and it didn't warm up a whole lot today. it's going to be cold for the eagles tonight and unseasonably cold. good thing we're not seeing this pattern in january or else we would be down close to zero. got a big warm up going on. that's starting tomorrow. but then the cold is going to return before the weekend does so it's not going to be like a long lasting warm spell. look how blue the sky is. the flag not blowing a lot. not that windy. the temperature even with the

sunshine that's 13 degrees below average. that's the for the day. it's five degrees warmer it was this time yesterday when there were clouds around helping to keep the temperature down too. so yesterday's high 53. today so far 54. then we jump up to 70. tomorrow 70 for wednesday, 77 on thursday. and -- that's not going to keep going up. to go back down starting on friday. we don't see trends that extend forever in this part of the world. right now 50 degrees in quakertown. 52 in allentown. 51 in doylestown and washington township, mount holly. wilmington is at 53. it's 52 in trenton. which set a record for low temperatures this morning at 25 and it's only 48 degrees in delaware. 52 at beach haven. to the west it's a whole lot warmer. you don't have to go that far west just to detroit it's 68 degrees. little farther west 78 in st.

louis. and 80 in wichita. you get a couple of days of west wind three days of a west wind and it will warm up a whole lot. cold and dry across the east and we're just plain dry across the rest of the eastern half of the country. again, temperatures are going to be going down into the 40s tonight but with a southwest wind the atmosphere trying to warm up pretty quickly and when that happens the downtown areas do not cool off very much and suburbs do. so we can be down in the 30s northern and western areas while it probably won't be down into the 30s for philadelphia. that's why we're going to put this forecast for the eagles tonight. temperatures leveling off between the beginning of the game and tend of the game but real cool down will come in the time just before the game starts after dark and the temperature will really start to plunge there. for the rest of the night tonight mostly clear.
