outside of the bars. philadelphia's next mayor has weighed in on the fight over a new football stadium for temple. the university wants to build a $130 million stadium at 15th and norris streets. temple's president is onboard with the idea but many north philadelphia residents are against it, so what does mayor-elect jim kenney think about it? >> i think they should be at the linc and have comparable costs associated with their use as the university of pittsburgh does out at heinz field. >> kenney says if temple fills a stadium with only 35,000 seats, it will not be enough room for fans during big games and the team will end up playing at the linc anyway. now your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. >> well, certainly had a mild start to this winter season, even though it's not officially winter, sometimes you can get wintery weather this early.

no sign of that. chilly nights, that's about it, but it's supposed to get chilly at night in december. we have mild days, too, with temperatures above average. that continues, and the sunny weekend. another sunny weekend. we have great weather coming here for shopping or washing the car, just about anything else outside. 50 degrees, wind only nine miles an hour. and the temperature dropping to near 40 degrees in many suburban areas and will be dropping into the 30s within the next hour or two in many of these places, too. yeah, it's going to be a chilly night, but not going to be any wind to make it feel even colder. right now we have the wind out of the northwest, and it's not real strong, only about 5 to 10 miles an hour. some places already even lower than 5 miles an hour. and that will continue to go down during the night tonight. so by morning, probably be just

about no wind. and 29 degrees in allentown will feel like 29. 31 in millville and 29 in mount holly. going to feel like those numbers, not any lower. dry conditions all across our part of the country, and as a matter of fact, just about the entire eastern half of the country except for south florida, which has been getting blasted by rain. miami's had a record for the amount of rainfall for that day yesterday. and the dry weather continues into new england, too, for the eagles playing sunday afternoon. and into the evening. that's not very chilly. we're talking about night. and it's only in the 40s. in new england. in december. not bad. you don't usually get weather like that. and we're going to see the mostly clear skies throughout much of the weekend here. and that will be the case. look at this, as we go into

sunday and monday, nothing more than some high clouds moving into the area. and how much rain is likely to fall during the next week? here's one of the computer models. going all the way through friday. nothing. once again. so we're in a dry weather pattern and a relatively mild one over the next week. not a lot of people objecting to that, except for snow lovers. 36 degrees in philadelphia, 28 north and west with clear skies and little wind during the day tomorrow. sunshine, nothing but sunshine, and not much wind either. temperature up a few degrees, so it's going to feel really nice to most folks. 58 degrees on sunday, with very similar conditions. and 58 on monday with perhaps a few more clouds, but it looks like that storm that we were expecting to stay south is, indeed, going to stay to the south and not bring rain up this way. so we could get through most, if not the entire week, without rain as we warm up again.

with temperatures in the upper 50s, i'm sure a lot of people are going to be doing holiday decorating this weekend. >> or heading out to get that christmas tree. >> south jersey christmas tree farmers are expecting a busy weekend, and they say this year's crop is especially healthy thanks to mother nature. i'm ted greenberg, i'll tell you why coming up.

great time for a shiny floor wax, no? not if you just put the finishing touches on your latest masterpiece. timing's important. comcast business knows that. that's why you can schedule an installation at a time that works for you. even late at night, or on the weekend, if that's what you need. because you have enough to worry about. i did not see that coming. don't deal with disruptions. get better internet installed on your schedule. comcast business. built for business.
