except the philadelphia flyers. >> all year long, i don't think anyone gave us a chance to make it to the playoffs. now we are here and we are confident. i know i can look to any side of me and i know they will go to battle. >> we earned our way into this tournament over the last 82 games and we didn't come here just to get her. our focus is continuing to elevate our game. >> everyone is 0-0. i think we are on even keel. we'll just play our hockey. >> reporter: and as you know, the flyers will be inspired by the memory of their late great owner ed schneider. they are wearing patches on their uniforms with the letters ems for edward malcolm sni

pattern aside from the patchy frost in the morning, i think we're looking forward to a beautiful dry stretch. >> i think what i love about this neighborhood forecast is that it gives you the comparison. you may start at the city and end up at the shore and there's a 10, 13-degree difference. >> yeah. and we are updating each area with the forecast for that specific area based on wind direction. based on where the clouds are going to be, based on when the rain is moving in and out. depending on where you are, weather will be different across the board, most likely, and that's why we're updating each individual neighborhood. >> i just like the screen that is gigantic. you have to take seven or eight steps to get back and forth. >> i'm getting my exercise. it's fun to watch, right? it's entertaining. >> and the seven day, it's always there. >> it's always there at the bottom of the screen. don't forget. i'm sure you already see it scrolling across. >> sheena, thanks so much. wawa is announcing the opening at a second location.

it should come as no surprise that the class of 2015 graduated with the most student loan debt in u.s. history. on average, they left college owing $35,000. >> tonight, we take a closer look at student debt and what families can do to ease that

burden. >> there's the cost alone and then the interest. >> yeah. and the average interest rate that students are paying is 6 to 8% for federal loans. so $35,000 in debt, add on to that thousands of dollars you'll pay in interest payments. that is such a burden for kbrouyoung graduates. according to a new report, 20% of federal loan borrowers are at least 35% behind -- or at least 30 days behind in payments. that is huge. that's a really big problem. they actually do have a lot of options out there, particularly from new companies, to re-finane and get a lower interest rate. i'm looking at one website,

credible.com, which is like an expedia for student debt. that is to say, it's not actually a lender itself. it's a marketplace or exchange that you go on to find an offer to refinance your debt. these are traditional banks and credit unions and a crop of new start-ups. i found one woman, a mom, who had a parent loan out for her daughter. she goes to college at arizona state. she's paying out-of-state tuition. it's about $33,000. over the course of years she had taken out several loans to help her daughter pay for college. she eventually had $50,000 in debt and paying interest of 6 to 8%. huge. her breaking point was this realization that she was just paying interest, not paying down the principal of the loan. she found a new offer and she was able to save $12,000 over the course of the loan. she's now paying 4.5%.

guys, that means she's just going to retire a little earlier. >> that's right. a sizeable difference there, of course. olivia sterns, thank you. watch her full report on "nbc nightly news" at 6:30 only on nbc 10. in the meantime, in a matter of days, medical marijuana will be legal in pennsylvania. >> so what happens next? a closer look at what this means for patients, next at 5:00. and all new at 6:00, hollywood hits the boardwalk of the jersey shore. we'll tell you where you can catch a glimpse, coming up.

right now at 5:00, nbc 10 continues to follow a large group of protesters who are marching through the streets of center city. this is right in the heart of center city. they are protesting over a number of issues, including the minimum wage. some of them are with the black lives matter movement. others are protesting the possibility of a new stadium on the campus of temple university. sky force 10 is over the area near broad and arch streets. by all accounts, this appears to be a peaceful protest. however, as you can see on the edge of this crowd, there are police on standby. what we do know is that traffic is being affected. so, if you're trying to get on the expressway, vine expressway, broad street as you get closer

to ray street, it's going to be a little bit of a problem. we'll keep you posted on this developing situation right here on nbc 10 news. also tonight, the story of an elderly woman shot and killed inside her home. >> she was 83 years old. tonight, we're waiting for police to tell us if they have a suspect. >> andrea is live in thomas. >> reporter: within the last few minutes, police allowed the family to go inside of the home. we asked if there was any new information and all they said is this was still under investigation. let's show you video that we shot early this afternoon. police arrived at this home on the 400 block of east cosgrove street just before 1:00 where they found an 83-year-old woman with two gunshot wounds to the chest. she was later pronounced dead at the hospital. a weapon was recovered at the home. police also confirmed that her husband, who has since told us, he was in his 90s and has

medical issues, he was home at the time. >> it's the worst feeling ever because when you know someone and you know their background and how they live and what they do, it's like, this right here, this is not her. what happened to her, huh-uh, it don't add up. >> reporter: now, everyone on this block knows the woman who was shot. we have learned her name but we're withholding it until police officially release it. she's described as everyone's grandmother, a well-liked woman who is god fearing and goes to church often and that's why there is so much shock as people are learning that she's dead. >> thank you. meanwhile, on sunday, pennsylvania will become the 24th street to legalize medical

marijuana. >> it won't be available right away. it turns out, patients who have been waiting for this treatment will have to wait a little longer. >> i think the next step for me is to go on educating people. >> reporter: while patients are looking forward to a turning point in their treatment, it may take some time before they will actually have access to medical marijuana. it's been six months to put temporary restrictions in place in which patients can apply for i.d. cards and businesses to apply for dispensary licenses. >> it's going to make a huge difference in people's lives. >> the regulation became permanent in two years. it will also take about that time for the dispensary to be up and running. then, patients of delaware county will be able to fill their prescriptions for medical marijuana. it will be available to people

who are terminal ill, have cancer, multiple sclerosis and other debeilitating diseases. >> i'm so happy. so many people are going to get help. >> under the law, medical marijuana will be available in pill, oil and gel form. however, in two years, the law allows the department of health to decide whether to make the marijuana available in whole flour form which could be v vaporized or used in food. now to the race for president. donald trump is sitting at 44% and ted cruz is at 28% according to the monmouth university poll. the poll also found that despite kasich being born in p.a., only 3% of likely voters said that would swing their support his way. right now, all eyes around new

>> reporter: sanders needs a blowout win but democrats are divided. >> i would say hillary clinton because i want her to be the first woman of the united states. >> reporter: sanders has a shot, you think? >> absolutely. i think we may have a recurrence of what happened with obama. >> reporter: sanders staged a huge rally but suffered a setback when a supporter referred to democratic beholden to big farmers and sanders had to call that inappropriate and insensitive. but at the debate in this hall in brooklyn tonight, clinton faces controversy after she supported striking verizon workers yesterday. the revelation today that she took $225,000 from verizon for a speech in 2013. republican donald trump looks poised for a huge win in his home state on tuesday and got good news today. prosecutors saying trump's

passed away in 2012. coming up next at 5:00, a local restaurant worker gets a big surprise. how a group of moms worked together to give him a very special gift. the world a president has to grapple with.

the presidency is the toughest job in the world and she's the one who'll make a real difference for you. i'm hillary clinton and i approved this message. president obama sounded the horn as he and vice president biden welcomed bicyclists in the soldier ride to the white house today. this year's ride included 40 active duty riders and 25 veterans. many recovering from major injuries. service dogs helping veterans. >> that was the topic of a house hearing today in washington, d.c.. members of the national security subcommittee say service dogs can provide several benefits to veterans suffering from ptsd. in 2010, the national defense authorization act authorized the

va to study the cost and benefits of providing service dogs to veterans with ptsd. >> these are not comfort dogs or therapy dogs, as you suppose those might be. service dogs provide valuable services for veterans. >> according to the va, the study has undergone significant challenges while to date the va has only paired 40 dogs with veterans. well, another beautiful day and clear skies and temperatures are going to drop again tonight. another frost advisory and a big warmup into the weekend. i'll show you the numbers, next. coming up, new at 6:00, an apparent carbon monoxide like kills four people. why the people who still live there are being unfairly treated as they spend weeks away from home.

go from here on out. this is our new weather setup. it's so much more specific and really narrows down into where you live. we'll start off with these temperatures. allentown, 62 degrees. we're still remaining right around 60 degrees. some spots in the mid-50s and when you compare it to yesterday, we are in fact a couple degrees warmer across the area. but as far as temperatures currently are concerned, we're still very comfortable outside. here's a look at the radar. we are nice and dry across the area and as we go through the next several days and into the weekend, we're going to stay nice and dry. it's all because of this big area of high pressure. that is keeping us dry. it's going to continue to give us sin shine and clear skies and, in fact, with those clear skies, we're going to get much colder as we go through tonight. again, as we go through the

overnight hours, even in new jersey, we have a frost advisory. again, we expect to get down to around freezing. you want to bring in the tender plants if you can, if they are potted. if not, maybe just cover them up. this is the lehigh valley. all under a frost advisory until 8:00 tomorrow morning. so we do expect temperatures in some locations to get around freezing. now, for south jersey and new castle county, these areas, the same thing. patchy frost in the forecast. another night where conditions are just right for patchy frost to be developing. and again, that seven-day forecast at the bottom of your screen. now, if we go into the next several days and across the week, a high pollen level that stays high throughout the week. take a look at the pollen forecast if your allergies have been bothering you, they will keep doing so on friday, saturday and sunday and tomorrow, of course. the weather will stay nice and
