the cold blast, of course, that's going to be coming in in a couple of days, being very brief. and christmas records. more warmth all over the east coast, more records are going to be set, including christmas eve, maybe even christmas day. we have a lot of clouds outside right now and the rain cutting off the tops of the buildings from your view. 54 degrees. the wind is light out of the east. it's still three degrees warmer than it was this time yesterday. even with the rain, 54 degrees, 10 degrees above the normal high. 48 in west chester. 49 in pottstown. cooler in the poconos but they're not close to getting any snow out of this system. so no help there for the ski operators: 59 degrees in atlantic city. 58 in millville so we're going to see some temperatures starting with 60 degrees in parts of the area.

so we're 53 yesterday. 59 today and then we start going down. 49 tomorrow. 39 for the high on saturday. finally a day with below-average temperatures. there hasn't been any of that this month. the entire month and even the last week of november. so it's been a long time since we've had a chilly day. and look at this rain coming in right now. the yellow indicating some of that heavier rain. patches of it coming into south philly now, into delaware county, montgomery county. there's some in new jersey and northern burlington county and then more in salem county, new jersey, down towards smyriyrna delaware. rainfall rates, about a third of an inch per hour which is relatively heavy but not the kind of intensity to produce significant flooding even if it would rain like that much of the day. and it will because look at this area of rain. it's a very large one. heavier rain looks like it's

headed more toward delaware and south jersey for later this afternoon. here's the futurecast as we go through the early afternoon, some of the heaviest rain of the day coming and then tapering off from west-to-east as we go through the afternoon rush. then we're dry for the rest of the night. still fairly cloudy and then as we go into tomorrow, more clouds toward the shore and more sunshine farther inland. but it's windy and colder everywhere. how much rain? some of the computer models predicting more than a half inch to close to an inch of rain which is a lot but, again, not enough to produce significant flooding. so the rain heavy at times, still mild day, highs in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees. the wind fairly light. tomorrow the temperature is down, the wind is up, but we're not getting any rain. even colder on saturday. plus wind.

we're going to be talking about windchill temperatures. and by sunday morning, that's going to be the coldest morning. the first one coming this weekend with below-freezing temperatures officially in philadelphia. look how much it warms up. by next wednesday, close to record warmth again. >> all right, thank you, glenn. the big chill. do you work inside a refrigerator? i don't mean literally. i'm talking about how cold it is where you work. and be honest, it feels that way here at nbc 10 quite a bit. what a new study says about office temperature and keeping warm at work. ♪ ♪ >> it's become a holiday tradition in our area. the more 101 christmas choir competition. you'll hear more of the beautiful sounds of one of the finalists coming up.

much of delaware county is in it. northern burlington county getting that heavier rain. there's more coming up from the southwest as you can see. some of that is on the heavy side. this is not heavy enough to produce any significant flooding. just ponding on the roads for example. some of that heavier rain in virginia coming up on top of the rain that's occurring. again to create localized ponding on the roads. heaviest rain coming within the next couple of hours and then by the afternoon rush things start to improve from west to east. we are going to see this rain autooff as the afternoon rush progresses. the roads are going to be wet but the visibility may be improved as we go toward 5:00, 6:00 tonight. the clouds hang around there through this evening and

overnight toward the shore. but that's when the colder air starts coming in. it's not very cold right now. already near 60 degrees at the shore. 54 in philadelphia. that's ten degrees above average for the high temperature for the day. we'll stay mild. the rain continues is but does taper off after 4:00 this afternoon. talk more about the cold weather coming. it's brief. we're not used to it and how much is going to warm up next week with the seven-day in a few minutes. >> worshippers at a wilmington church will have to find a new place to hold services after a fire destroyed the church. this is video you're looking at by a drone high above the scene last night's fire gutted the building in a fiery heap. monique braxton is live at the church in morning. monique two fires in the same church over a two week span, it's either bad luck or seems

when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto®. hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto®. nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®,

watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. creativity for a cause. that's the mission of the next guest you're about to meet. a bucks county woman turned her passion to fashion into remarkable works of art designed

lower portion of bucks county right around the trenton area and there's more to come down in delaware and near smyrna, more in maryland. it's going to come straight up i-95. yeah, it's going to be really wet for the next, let's say, three hours. and then things may start to taper off. but that's a large area of rain, it's going to take a while to get out of here. here's the futurecast. we go through the afternoon. this is just in and you can see by 3:00 we're already starting to taper off a little bit but we're really going to be seeing the improvements between 4:00 and 6:00 this afternoon. big change across the area. and the amounts of rain as we go through the rest of the day, half inch to an inch so we're not talking about enough rain to cause any significant flooding but some ponding on the roads is possible. and it will not be as wet for the afternoon rush as it is right now. with rain heavy at times

especially for the next two to three hours, temperatures getting into the upper 50s to near 60 degrees. that's pretty mild considering the average high is 44. so tomorrow we're colder and windy, saturday is the coldest and the windiest. we'll actually be using windchills again. but not for long. it will be coldest sunday morning but getting calm and by the time the eagles are playing sunday evening it won't be all that cold, it will be dry and then we warm up, get wet again next week by wednesday and christmas eve you could see record warmth again. >> thank you, glenn. it has become a holiday tradition in our area and nbc 10 is thrilled to bring you one of the finalists in the more 101 fm christmas competition. this is the chorus that played
