it's damp. we have some sprinkles or drizzle around. and then more rain comes in for the afternoon. and into friday night. it's one disturbance after another. this will move out, and we may see some improvement on saturday. but it's going to be hard to get the clouds out of there until the wind direction changes. it's coming out of the east or northeast. as long as the wind direction is there, the clouds will probably stay there as well. here's the live radar. and we have some decent rain in the southern portion of delaware already. nothing in wilmington, up to philadelphia, or even atlantic city, but it's on its way, and like i say, some of this is on the heavy side around milford and down toward seifert. and that will continue to move to the east. and there's a big batch right around baltimore that's moving right up toward delaware and the philadelphia area. so it's not just going to be light rain this afternoon and

tonight. here's the story, the temperatures fairly uniform, library at 59. phoenixville, 57. 56 in bethlehem. that's the way it is today. avalon, 53. atlantic city holding at 52 degrees. does it get any better? not tomorrow. only 53, philadelphia. saturday is cloudy. 61 degrees. saturday, we may see dry weather for at least a day. there is a chance that some rain will move in by saturday night. look at the temperature up a little bit on saturday. if we get a little bit of sunshine, at least through the high clouds. with the advance of that rain, you can see the temperatures down to 49 degrees. in the jersey shore tomorrow, saturday, 58 degrees. more rain in the forecast. i'll be back with the ten-day forecast a little later.

points for photos submitted of her speed. sheinelle jones has the details. >> the pictures tell the story. and are the story. high speed selfies, twisted metal, and snapchat under fire. this morning, a new lawsuit filed against the picture sharing app. and 18-year-old crystal mcgee. she was living life in the fast lane literally. driving a mercedes-benz, her speed climbing to 80, 90, and 107 miles per hour at impact. slamming into maynard wentwort's mitt sue bushy. his attorneys said he has permanent brain damage. they say mcgee was motivated to drive at excessive speed to get recognition through snapchat by means of a snapchat trophy. snapchat denies giving trophies for its speed filter. they say, no snap is more important than someone's safety. we actively discourage our

community from using the filter while driving. >> we saw a do not snap and drive warning displayed, and just last week, they partnered with an ad council for this filter. i won't snap and drive. but even the crash didn't stop her from snapchatting. she sent out this selfie, she types lucky to be alive. are teens risking their lives for the likes? >> that was sheinelle jones reporting. mcgee has not responded to nbc news' request for comment. it's unclear the extent of her injuries were or the three passengers in her car were also injured. the federal government wants you to know about some new ways to pay off your student loans. the department of education has launched a website to help people find loan repayment options. those options include the pay as you program, which caps monthly amendme payments at 10% of your income. federal student loan debt tops

well, around here, the wind is eroding our temperatures. it's coming in off the ocean. moisture is here. and until the wind direction changes, going to stay this way. we're in the 50s everywhere, 55 in philadelphia. 51, p.a. suburbs. 54, new jersey, 55, lehigh valley. 54 in delaware. and as you can see, as we go through the day, we're not seeing sunshine. we've got rain come in. and staying in. so you need the umbrellas all day once the rain starts. the seven-day forecast scrolling below, for many different areas, not just philadelphia anymore. and you don't have to wait until the end of the weather to get your seven-day. you can see it any time.

let's head to south jersey and see if we have temperatures other than the 50s. and the answer is no. we still don't have much above let's say 56 degrees in medford. those are the warmest spots. vineland at 55 degrees. millville only 53. 56 in robbinsville. 55 in hopewell township. 55 in lumberton. so again, temperatures uniform, because of the clouds and the east wind. so let's take a look at the radar. you can see the skyline right now, but as the rain continues to progress and get in here in the philadelphia area, it's just within the next hour, not probably going to be seeing much. let's see what's behind that. not much. so the heaviest of the rain is going to come through this afternoon. we may see a little bit of tapering during the night tonight. and this live radar shows it's

just where the heaviest rain is and also the leading edge of the rain. that is on the doorstep. just about to wilmington here, and close to the philadelphia area, coming into south jersey as well. now, what's going to happen in the future? it's going to rain some more. here's the futurecast. we go through the afternoon. patches of rain coming through. now, we're going to be seeing this light rain and drizzle during the night. and into the morning. so we're not going to see a whole lot on the radar here later on during the night. but we've got more coming in tomorrow. as you can see, not necessarily all that heavy, but it's just a nuisance. it's inconvenient, and there's friday night. and we still have more coming here. now, because another area of rain may move in quicker than we thought earlier, there is a

chance of rain for the blue cross broad street run here. at 8:00, start of the race, most likely to be dry. but there's still a chance. and then some rain at 10:00 a.m. and heavier rain at noon. so at least it's cool and cloudy for the runners, because they may at least be comfortable with that. and then after that, look at that. 56 degrees for the high on sunday. 61, monday. we still have that threat of rain. tuesday, we start to dry out a little bit, but it doesn't stay that way. we have showers in the forecast through many of the next ten days. we'll be right back.

we are just three days away from the blus cross broad street run. nbc10 is bringing you all of the action from starting gun to the finish line. our coverage begins at 8:00 on sunday morning. hey, we've got some expert advice for any of the runners who are preparing for the race. join us tomorrow for ready, set, run, along with tips for the athletes, we'll also show you the best places for the fans to watch along broad street, and we'll explain what's new at this year's health and wellness expo. again, that's tomorrow at 7:00 in the evening. coming up this afternoon

starting at 3:00, an all new ellen with julia roberts, and then nbc10 news at 4:00 as they respond to one viewer's trouble with her utility bill. >> do any of these bills make sense? >> no. >> she knew there was a problem, but couldn't get answers until harry hairston stepped in. what he found and the refund he was able to get for her, this afternoon on nt news at 4:00. and of course, today at 4:00, watching the rain. >> it should be raining at 4:00 and 5:00, and 6:00. during the afternoon rush. and it's going to be chilly. temperatures in the 50s now. going to stay in the 50s all day. going to be in the 50s tomorrow with more rain coming in that may creep into the 60s on saturday due to thinner clouds. but i'm not sure there is going to be any sunshine on saturday. then another round of rain on sunday, keeping it cool. >> anybody watching the blue

cross broad street run, bring the umbrellas to the race. that's going to do it for us. thanks for watching nbc10 news at 11:00. we'll see you back here at 4:00.
