threat today is going to be the flooding. and much lower threats of lightning or any kind of damaging winds or hail or tornadoes or anything like that. it's mostly the rain that we're watching. the current temperatures pretty amazing considering yesterday 59 degrees in philadelphia. 50s everywhere except for 47 in lancaster and 48 degrees in mt. pocono. so it's raining up there. it's going to continue to rain up there. they're going to continue to see some of that snow they got just melt away. the wind is coming right off the ocean, a southeast wind gusting to 40 in philadelphia, 39 in trenton. 36 in wilmington. now, it's not going to stay this windy all day. once the wind shifts a little bit later today, it will start dying down. but first we've got some really heavy rain getting ready to come into the area. there's a line of some heavy rain. we don't see the reports of lightning or thunder yet.

if you come, vai, i don't know if you're a boxers or brief kind of guy, but i went with boxer briefs. >> these look a little small. might just put that away. cupid's undie run is this saturday february 20th fun starts at noon at xfinity live in south philadelphia. we have more information on our website at nbc10.com and on the nbc 10 app. >> take them. they're stretchy, they're nice. >> and they're brand new? >> yes. they're brand new. >> thank you. now, your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. >> and, yes, the weather saturday is looking excellent. but the only rain we expect after today is some showers on friday night. we do have some heavy rain coming in during the next couple of hours, already happening in some places with some localized flooding. it's not going to be widespread. we're not expecting every place

to get flooded. it's not one of those deals. we're getting lower visibility with the rain, of course nothing like yesterday. it's 59 degrees the wind. south-southeast at 26 gusting to 41 miles an hour right now. and it's way up into the 50s north and west. we had some earlier trenton, mt. holly, 52 in dover, 53 in atlantic city. now, the temperatures will be dropping later today. biggest risk of any kind of severe weather today is in the flood threat. again, that would be more of an isolated thing. we do have some thunderstorms in the area. we've had at least one or two reports of some thunder, but it's not again expected to be severe. we have some gusty winds but this is about it for as high as

it's going to be. 35 to 40 miles an hour, pretty widespread across the area. 39-mile-an-hour gust at -- in the poconos right now. 41 in philadelphia. it was also 30 to 40 degrees yesterday. just pretty incredible. here's that line of very heavy about. into new castle county. it's right in the western it is almost on top of dover right now. it's going through seaford and southern delaware right now, it will be going through milford within the next hour. and we'll continue to move to the east. rain's getting a little heavier in the philadelphia area as you can see. and some of the northern suburbs. of course the pennsylvania turnpike and norristown. and we're getting some patches

of moderate to heavy rain farther to the north in lehigh valley and poconos. but we're also seeing the back edge of this racing eastward. this is going to end very abruptly this afternoon. once the rain is over, that's it for the rest of the day. but watch the temperatures go down. by 3:00 rain is gone, temperatures are back down into the 40s. not exactly frigid for this time of the year. and we may actually see a little sunshine toward the end of the day, maybe a real nice sunset. and then temperatures drop into the 30s. but it's not going to be that cold tonight. we're not expecting any widespread icing during the night tonight. just some patchy areas north and west. some heavy rain for the next two or three hours in much of the area. very windy. and then dry, cooler late today. the gusts up to 40 miles an hour over the next couple of hours. things quiet down tomorrow closer to average temperatures. then a chilly day on thursday.

chance of some late showers on friday as a front moves through, but it's a warm front. not a cold front. look how warm it is over the weekend. it's looking dry. and what a change from this past weekend. and we'll be right back. this nbc 10 first alert winter weather update is brought to you by buckmans, your cold weather experts.

tens of thousands of people win the lottery, we're not talking about the powerball or megamillions, but a coveted spot in the upcoming blue cross broad street run. news came in the form of an e-mail yesterday the broad street run is the largest race of its kind in the country. about 40,000 people will run. and because there's so much interest, organizers have to use a lottery system. so if you want to run but didn't get a winning e-mail, there's a list of charities that have bids waiting. you'll find the list on the nbc 10 app or at nbc10.com. and we are a proud sponsor of the blue cross broad street run. you can watch the race live on nbc 10 and telemundo 62 on sunday may 1st. coming up this afternoon starting at 3:00, an all new ellen with mma superstar and sports illustrated win e swim suit model ronda rousey. and the home has a dark past, now philadelphia's considering making it a historical landmark.

who lived there and died here that could make it a controversial move. our chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz back with another look at the weather. >> not looking so nice out there. but at least it's a lot warmer than yesterday. >> yeah. >> it is close to 40 degrees warmer in some parts of the area. and look at this line of very heavy rain moving through chester county now just about to move into new castle county. it's already in kent county, delaware, right on top of dover. just past seaford about to get onto milford. and that's some briefly heavy rain that is going to be moving in. once that passes through it's only going to be a couple hours. so by later today it will be a dry afternoon rush. and then cooler tomorrow, colder on thursday and then we really warm up over the weekend. so we had windchills below zero this past weekend. >> yeah. >> and temperatures in the 50s

this weekend. >> 60 degrees that's just amazing. thanks for watching nbc 10 news at 11:00. i'm vai sikahema. for glenn "hurricane" schwartz and all of us here at nbc 10, have a great day.
