would decapitate her. >> we have a very stringent process that's scanning folks coming into this country. i can guarantee you nobody is going to be coming into your house at night and chopping off your head, but that's fear just being propagated and perpetuated by this constant drone in the media. >> contrary to what you hear in the media, these guys, most of the people coming here, are orph orphans, they are widowers, they've fled everything. >> local clergy say many of the refugees are professionals in search of jobs and fair rent and are asking employers and landlords for help. after nearly five months of roadblocks, pennsylvania lawyers seem to have hit a wall as they work to solve the state's budget battle. pennsylvania's been operating without a budget now for 145 days. we sent nbc 10's lauren mayk to the state capitol. lauren, this is another setback now for school districts and other groups who rely on money from the state. >> reporter: yeah, keith, it means that they are going to have to wait longer.

it is looking for unlikely that there will be a budget by thanksgiving. with the governor saying today that that framework, the only sort of agreement both sides had on a budget and what would be in it, that that is in peril. >> i want them to get serious about getting this done quickly. people have been holding out for too long. we need a budget. >> reporter: with thanksgiving days away, lawmakers are now appearing farther apart. republican on the appropriations committee -- what's the tone like right now? >> we're all stressed. at this point in pennsylvania, this budget process has taken hostages. >> reporter: those who rely on state money are either borrowing, cutting, or figuring out when they'll have to stop paying people. >> everyone's, you know, responding to that panic as opposed to responding to the facts and numbers on the sheets that we have to deal with. >> reporter: responding to the panic, but still not going all the way to get it done. >> because even though there's that panic, there's still philosophical boundaries. >> reporter: what seems to have slowed things down again?

chip kelly says they need to cut down on the big plays. >> it was four runs, you know, four runs, i think, for 185. i know, but those four runs were the big -- we have not done that before. people have hit us for six, seven, eight, but we haven't had runs break and get out the backside, you know, and go the distance they went for. that's the thing in terms of that. we got to do a better job tackling and in terms of where we're going to be in defense. >> now coming up at 6:00, kelly is taking a lot of heat from the fans, but his players are standing by him. back to you. >> thanks, john. out of new orleans, police arrested a man accused of shooting a medical student. 21-year-old cain is charged with armed robbery, second-degree kidnapping, and attempted first-degree murder. cain is attempted of trying to kidnap a woman friday morning. a medical student, peter gold, tried to help that woman out.

below 10 degrees in that region. there was a dusting of snow and even ice forming on parts of the nearby river, and we locally even saw some flurries around the area, but we're not going to see that just yet. we have a bit of a warmup in the forecast after we see a very cold night tonight, but if you were in the lehigh valley today, allentown, even king of prussia you would have seen snow flurries, mainly north and west of philadelphia, mainly because of high winds blowing those in from the north and west, but tonight everyone will be getting cold and widespread 20-degree temperatures. coldest night so far this season, but there is a warmup in the forecast. just in time for thanksgiving. so if you wanted milder air, it will be getting here by thursday. already 28 in the poconos, 25 in pottstown, 36 degrees right now bensalem, low 40s in philadelphia, 37 now glassboro and millville, 38 degrees in dover. so as we go through tonight, take a look what's going to happen, clear skies are going to also be responsible for this. temperatures really dropping by

direction in time for thursday. we'll get more of a south wind, milder thanksgiving in the forecast, and that mild air is going to stretch up into maine, so no matter where you're going across the northeast and midatlantic states, it is going to be a milder thanksgiving. now with thanksgiving travel under way, before we get to thursday if you're mostly traveling on wednesday, looks pretty good from the carolinas all the way up into new england. temperatures seasonal for this time of year, so on the chilly side, but we do expect nice dry conditions. if you are headed down south towards florida, temperatures here in the 70s, maybe the low 80s in some spots. will be cloudy with spotty showers, so could be a couple travel delays in that direction, even if you're heading from texas up into parts of kansas city, across the central plains, could be seeing showers there, too. off on the west coast we have snow in the rockies expected for wednesday, areas of rain and fog, so, of course, check your flights if you're heading in that direction. also locally we'll be nice and warmer by thursday. low temperatures tonight, though, it's going to be cold.

today we got to 43. by wednesday, low 50s, but look at the jump from wednesday to thursday, big ten-degree jump in time for thanksgiving, 62 degrees for the high on thursday, the average high is 53, so the cold air will be here most of the week, then milder by thursday and friday. if you wanted the warmup for thanksgiving, it is on the way. right now nice and dry, flurries coming to an end over the great lakes, same area we're seeing the snow continuing, but this is from earlier today. we have the snow flurries around with the strong northwest wind. that's going to start to die down tonight. temperatures will be dropping, so tomorrow morning around the time you walk outside, 8:00, 9:00, we should be around 30 degrees for most of the area, but we're going to stay dry because of the area of high pressure. so for tuesday and wednesday, this high moves over the area, once it moves offshore off the new england coast by thursday and friday, that's when our wind direction is going to switch and that is when we start to warm up even more. so thursday and friday we will be in the 60s. if you are traveling for

thanksgiving, mostly wednesday in this forecast, temperatures seasonal around the upper 50s through the carolinas, mid 40s through boston and parts of maine, but sunny conditions, nice travel weather there. farther south into parts of florida if you're heading in this direction, expect temperatures in mostly the mid to upper 70s, cloudy, humid, scattered showers around, there's a chance that could cause travel problems, but for the northeast, looking good. tonight here's a look at the low temperatures, 21 in allentown, 24 pottstown, 29 philadelphia, 22 suburbs in new jersey like millville. coldest night yet, definitely want to bundle up by tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon, chilly day, 47 to 50 degrees for the high temperature. we get milder for wednesday, low 50s, but big jump going into thursday. low 60s for thanksgiving, 67 friday and colder into the weekend. >> sheena, thank you. time now for a look at what you'll see on nightly news at

6:30. >> joining us live from new york city with a preview. good evening, lester. >> hi, keith and denise. good evening to you. late word about a new worldwide travel warning put in place for american citizens. we'll explain what's behind that. certainly, the tensions after paris, but other things happening today we want to report on. donald trump making provocative statements over the weekend about what he claims happened on 9/11. did it really happen? and in this political environment, does it really matter? what some of his opponents are saying about that. and the nfl facing some hard questions about a hard hit on the football field over the weekend. it left a star player with a concussion. those stories and more coming up on nbc nightly news. back to you. >> all right, lester, thank you. see you back here in about 40 minutes. hate to bring this back up now, but eagle fans are sounding off about the team's latest disappointment tonight. >> it's what happened during another game that lester eluded to that's attracting attention across the country. >> that's right, the center of the controversy, one player simply stayed on the field.

he's right there. we'll tell you why that's generating so much debate tonight.

this is nbc 10 news. >> concussion issues continue to make headlines for the nfl. during yesterday's rams/ravens games, st. louis quarterback

case keenum is clearly dazed after having his head slammed on the turf. keenum could barely get up. now there is controversy and growing concern tonight about the safety of all nfl players. >> even after that hit there, keenum stayed in the game sunday, despite showing signs of a head injury. this comes two weeks after eagles safety malcolm jenkins admitted he played against the cowboys with a concussion. jay gray has the latest on the league's concussion headache. >> reporter: the hit was not all that extreme. >> as keenum was wrapped up. >> reporter: but the effects seemed obvious and immediate. case keenum struggling to stand, but staying in the game, despite the nfl's self proclaimed commitment and new program to protect against head injuries. >> case keenum slow to get up. >> reporter: with a minute left in a tied game, the team trainer apparently gave the okay to stay on the field, but even fans spotted a potential problem.

posts on social media included, a woozy case keenum picked up by linemen and stays in the game, nobody cares. keenum is still in the game? how? why do we have a concussion protocol then? following the game the team confirmed keenum was suffering from a concussion. today in a written statement the nfl announced they are reviewing the incident and prior to this week's game, we will re-enforce with all involved the need to ensure these injuries are properly identified and addressed in a manner consistent with our protocols. experts say if there is a question, the player should be benched immediately. >> it's always best to err on the side of safety and to take players out of the game if you think there's a concussion. >> reporter: because doctors say staying in could take them out of a much bigger game off the field. jay gray, nbc 10 news. coming up next on nbc 10 news at 6:00. >> we are staying on top of breaking news, two men murdered inside a home. we are live on that scene with

kensington section of philadelphia tonight. two men killed, both of them shot in the head. >> their bodies were found around 3:00 this afternoon. tonight, raw emotions at the scene of that crime. nbc 10's drew smith joins us live from the scene. drew, we last saw you at 5:00. have you been able to get any new information since then? >> reporter: well, right now we still do not know the identities of these victims, just that they are young men who were found down inside a house at the end of this block on jasper street. as this truck passes you can see there is still a crowd of family members who have been crying, yelling, wanting answers as to how their loved ones died. a big question here, how long were the bodies inside that home? we do know when paramedics arrived they pronounced them dead on the scene right there. this is a significant crime here in the entire city, as well, because we have surpassed the number of murders over last year, the entire last year. these are homicides number 248

and 249. so, again, we're waiting for information from a police supervisor, who is supposed to be heading down here, but when we were talking with the family members they said they haven't been able to get to the house to i.d. the bodies, it has been very frustrating for them, as well, because they don't know what happened here tonight. we are live in kensington, drew smith, nbc 10 news. and turning now to our weather, as we can see from that picture, we have snow for the first time this season. check it out, nbc 10 in allentown. >> and it is that time of year in the poconos. cam elback mountain starting to make snow. glenn "hurricane" schwartz joining us now. >> glenn, we're in for a really cold night. >> yeah, this is definitely going to be the coldest night so far this season, but it's going to warm up every night this week after tonight. we have mostly clear skies right now, and that will allow the temperatures to dro
