ready for their first presidential debate. tracking rain after days of dry weather. we could be in for a wet week. it could start with the ride to work tomorrow. and on the wentz wagon. even vice president joe biden has pumped the rookie qb as he's off to a flawless start. the countdown is on to what could be the most watched presidential debate ever. you're looking live outside the debate hall at hofstra university on long island, new york. hillary clinton and donald trump will take the stage at 9:00. nbc's lester holt will moderate. clinton will get the first question, based on a coin toss. >> here is a look at our countdown clock, you can see we have just four hours -- you know what, three hours, 59 minutes, 20 seconds to go before we get started. good evening, i'm keith jones. >> i'm rosemary connors. tonight's 90-minute show could impact who becomes our next

commander in chief. >> no question. the latest national poll shows clinton and trump deadlocked, both apology at 46% in a head to head contest in a new bloomberg poll. >> we're bringing you live team coverage tonight starting with nbc 10's lauren mayk, live at hofstra university. lauren? >> reporter: rosemary and keith, we always knew that this would be an important debate. it is of course the first one between hillary clinton and donald trump. but i've got to tell you, the anticipation, the buzz here, it is something we felt as soon as we stepped on campus here at hofstra university. this truly is, today, the center of the political universe. inside the hall, it's serious business. but outside at hofstra university, debate day comes with a political party for everyone. >> you have liberals, conservatives, people in the middle. it's insane. it's like the super bowl times

like 50. >> reporter: there are mascots, a band, and young voters getting an up close view to a key moment in the campaign. david rosen is a hofstra student from harrisburg. do you know who you're voting for yet? >> i'm really not sure. this debate might have a serious part in how i decide to vote. i'm excited. i'm looking forward to it. >> reporter: for this professor and debate coach, tamika robertson, she's watching to see what words they use. >> their rhetorical choices, how they present themselves, their body language, their stances. >> reporter: she says the candidates each need a different approach to win. for donald trump -- >> one of the things he needs to do is to tone it down a little bit and focus more on policy, because a lot of people complain that they don't actually know what he wants to do. >> reporter: for hillary clinton? >> she needs to come across as a little more personable so people feel like they know who she is.

>> reporter: the debate won't include this student's choice, gary johnson. is there anything either candidate could say tonight to convince you to vote for them? >> we'll find out. >> reporter: some convincing, perhaps, for those undecided voters, and voters that are currently committed to a third party like that student that you just heard from. now, of course, all of the action happens on the stage. but then it comes back here to the spin room behind me. we have already seen folks from both sides here in the spin room. and coming up at 6:00, we'll show you some of the folks we met here, including a very famous basketball coach. live at hofstra university, i'm lauren mayk, nbc 10 news. >> see you at 6:00, thanks, lauren. experts predict tonight's debate could be the most watched in history. data from deep root analytics shows nearly two-thirds of all registered voters will tune in. but trump voters are more likely to watch. one in four voters says the

debates will be very or extremely important in their decision about which candidate they vote for. we hope you'll watch the debate live on nbc 10. also join us in person at xfinity live. that's where we find nbc 10's denise nakano ahead of our 7:00 special there. >> reporter: we are getting ready here at xfinity live for the special and watch party. everyone will hopefully turn out here in south philadelphia. the stage is set, our crews are working here, our political punchout team is ready for interviews. we've got lots of space, television cameras, screens, the big screen tv here at xfinity live, ready for you to watch the debate, the most highly anticipated debate of this presidential rate. we have plenty of people who are undecided. they'll come out here to decide who they want to vote for in this race. let's take a listen.

>> i'm looking for real presidential character. that can come up in a bunch of different ways. i'm looking for stability and a presence of mind. >> reporter: so people here at xfinity and beyond looking to find out who they are going to be voting for, and this debate could be it. so join us here at xfinity live in south philadelphia at 7:00. we hope to see you here. denise nakano, nbc 10 news. >> busy night ahead, thanks, denise. count on nbc 10 for every angle of tonight's debate. join our decision 2016 team at xfinity live. our hour-long special, as denise said, starts at 7:00. it's all about what issues are important to you. you can watch our special on tv or join us in the audience, again, it starts in just about two hours at 7:00. then of course stay with us for the main event, nbc's lester

holt is moderating tonight's debate at 9:00. stay with us for the debate highlights and analysis on nbc 10 news at 11:00. time to break down both sides of the debate with our political punchout team. democrat mark alderman and republican jim schultz joining us for you. they're also live from xfinity live ahead of our debate show tonight. >> guys, tonight could be the most watched debate ever, as we've mentioned. the big question is will trump hold back on his punches, be more reserved, or go on the attack? and how should hillary respond? mark, we'll begin with you. >> i say let trump be trump. hillary clinton cannot let whatever of trump's multiple personalities dictate to what she does tonight. trump wants to appear to be her equal on this stage. he's not. and the way to demonstrate that is for secretary clinton to speak right over him to the voters, demonstrate her command

of the world stage and of the debate stage tonight. >> donald trump is trending in the right direction. hillary clinton is trending in the wrong direction at this point. for donald trump, tonight is key for him for the doubters, for those who don't think he should have access to the nuclear codes, to say, hey, we should give this guy a shot. he can do that by being measured. but he can still be aggressive and hold hillary clinton's feet to the fire on the issues like benghazi, the e-mails, the servers, questioning her credibility. all that is fair game. name calling is not. on the other hand, it's very important i think for hillary clinton to try to drag him into the mud puddle. she has to be careful, mark, because if she's perceived as dragging him down in the mud puddle and continuing to be this unlikable person, it could hurt her long term. >> she doesn't need to drag him into the mud puddle, trump has been there for the whole campaign and she has yet to descend to that level.

[ inaudible ] >> it appears we're having trouble. you know what, guys, we're having a little bit of trouble with the microphones, but there's a good preview of what you might see tonight at 7:00 during our debate special at xfinity live. thanks so much for your time, guys, see you at 5:30. now to the nbc 10 delaware bureau and an emotional mourning in wilmington. nbc 10 was on the ground and in the air as the bodies of two fallen firefighters were taken to their respective funeral homes. on and off-duty police officers and firefighters lined the routes. lieutenant christopher leach and firefighter jerry fickas died in the basement of a row home over the weekend. nbc 10's monique braxton has more on today's emotional observance. >> reporter: the draped coffin of lieutenant christopher leach

is carried to an hearse. these emergency responders and police officers from surrounding cities are also here to comfort wilmington's men and women in blue. we saw hugs and tears as these public servants grieved for their fallen brothers. a short time later, senior firefighter jerry fickas is saluted as his coffin is brought to an hearse. >> first floor. firefighters trapped. >> reporter: both died when the floor collapsed when they were fighting a blaze. the family of six escaped intense flames, but the firefighters didn't know it. two of their colleagues are in critical but stable condition. two others were treated for their injuries and released. nowadays of sorrow are ahead, as official goodbyes with two funerals and burials. monique braxton, nbc 10 news. we are tracking some rain on the first alert radar.

you can see that rain inching its rain close to our area. it could make your commute tomorrow a little bit soggy, a little bit dreary. we could be dealing with this rain for the whole week. >> that's right. of course let's get right to, who's tracking that, meteorologist sheena parveen, hey, sheena. >> hey, guys. we have more clouds around right now than early this morning. 71 degrees, wind breezy, 13 miles per hour. we will be seeing the rain approaching as we go late into tonight. you saw the center city skyline, overcast skies. you see the clouds and the rain is getting a little bit closer. we'll see some late tonight. moving into central p.a., it's still pretty far away, so most of our evening will be on the dry side. a look at the forecast as we go through tonight, clouds hang around. by 11:00 we could be dealing already with some scattered showers across the area. temperatures in the 60s. and by tomorrow morning for the morning commute, expect some

showers around. and yes, those rain chances do last for many days this week. i'll show you that and the timing coming up. love that music. especially love it given that the eagles had that impressive 34-3 win over the steelers yesterday. i think everyone is jumping on the carson wentz wagon. that includes vice president joe biden. he tweeted today, heart, guts, and poise for my guy carson wentz. dr. biden is pumped, it's our year. the team responded with a tweet of their own, thank you for being the first member of the wentz wagon, mr. vice president, fly, eagles, fly. later in this newscast, carson wentz and his photographic memory. we talked to a doctor about how the quarterback's brain may be partly to credit for the birds' perfect 3-0 start to the season. but first, remembering arnold palmer. we talk to the golf legend's best friend from delaware about

palmer's legacy. and later, it's back to our debate coverage. what does tonight's presidential face-off have in common with earthquakes and the super bowl? we'll tell you, when nbc 10 news at 5:00 continues, next.

the american dream come to

live. that's how president obama describes legendary golfer arnold palmer. the pennsylvania native passed away on sunday. today there was a tribute in the state capital. in harrisburg the flag was lowered to half-staff on the capital. many in our area have ties to the king of the fairways. nbc 10's deanna durante talks about one of palmer's best friends. >> oh, baby. >> reporter: aside from his wife, dr. howie giles says he's the only other person who was allowed to call arnold palmer "arnie." >> i've got 300,000 photographs of arnold palmer. >> reporter: his home looks more like a museum. he met palmer in october of 1970. he's flown on his jet. when the drink named for the golfer went on the market, he

saved the cans. >> he's enriched our lives so much. >> reporter: the golfer had a major win right on the course. >> he hosted the tour for 30 years, it was in 1963 that mr. palmer won. >> reporter: the club has photos of that win. the flag was lowered in his honor. >> arnie let me be his buddy. very special for our entire family. >> reporter: it's in that delaware home, a friend of palmer created what looks like a shrine, dedicated to his friend. >> arnie has everything in a museum at his home. >> reporter: howie wrote a book, golfers and pros know it well. coming up at 6:00, the impact palmer had on this and another local golf course. deanna durante, nbc 10 news.

>> announcer: now your nbc 10 first alert weather. well, a cool start to the day across the region. definitely feeling like fall. nbc 10 in center city at 16th and chestnut streets. there were a lot of long sleeves and a few light jackets out there. you could have probably kept it through the afternoon, especially now that the clouds have moved in, temperatures have dropped quite a bit because of the cloud cover, and we are tracking rain, getting closer to the area, expected around for the morning commute. you're going to want to hold onto the umbrella through the rest of this week. showers will be staying in the forecast. you can see that with your seven-day at the bottom of the screen. a live look at rehoboth beach. not too long ago we had blue skies. now the clouds are making their way to the jersey shore and delaware beaches, spreading across the area. cloudy skies for basically everybody. pennsylvania suburbs, 71 right now in philadelphia. we'll take a look at our delaware neighborhoods now, harmony hills, 70 degrees. greenville, 68. wilmington, 79 degrees.

dover coming in, 71. 72 in allendale. the sun is about to set soon anyway. 72 milford and millsborough. there you see those overcast skies in center city, we've had these clouds for quite a while now and we'll continue to see them hang around even as we go through tomorrow. so we are dry as far as the rain is concerned. that's still back off to our west, moving into parts of central pennsylvania. we'll see that hold together as it moves through, but not until late tonight. really it's the overnight hours tonight and early tomorrow morning that we're watching. so you'll want the umbrella for the morning commute. like i mentioned, hang on to them through the end of the week. this is future weather. here we go through tonight. clouds hang around 11:00 p.m. tonight. i think that will be when we see most of the rain try to move in. overnight we'll see the rain. 6:30 tomorrow morning, parts of the area could be dealing with rain for the morning commute.

keep that in mind for the early hours. the rain will try to shift offshore for the afternoon but then moves back in. so we'll see this pattern lingering over the next seven days. we're looking at more rain moving into parts of the area. we'll hold on to the rain chances. thursday morning, late morning thursday, yes, the rain will stick in the forecast. for tomorrow, high temperatures staying in the 70s, 76 fairmont. schwenksville, 78 degree. 79 in allentown. areas in the lehigh valley, you should start to see some of that clear up pretty early. it depends where you're live. if you're along the shore, you'll be seeing the cloud cover and showers lingering longest throughout the afternoon. voorhees, 74 degrees. it is going to be a day where we are going to have the showers kind of sliding through the area but then kind of clearing north and west of philadelphia. then we go into wednesday,

thursday, friday. the rain chances are going to hang on. even into the start of your weekend. so saturday, we could be dealing with the showers. it will get cooler by the end of the week too. the 70s stay in the forecast through the weekend and into next week, possibly even upper 60s on the map. we'll have your neighborhood weather coming up. >> thanks, sheena. a ride on a roller coaster could cure a painful ailment. plus why experts say the connection between the debate and the super bowl has something to do with your health. a live look inside xfinity live sports complex in south philadelphia. our pre-debate special starts here tonight at 7:00. you can join us there. our complete debate coverage continues, coming up. katie mcginty: franny, johnny, mikey, maureen, jimmy,

joey, ricky, eileen, me, and colleen... all 10 of us raised on a policeman's salary and a mom working as a restaurant hostess. imagine trying to do that today, with washington looking out for the favored few. i'll bring a different point of view to the u.s. senate - working class roots and the mother of three, i'll put middle class families ahead of wall street. i'm katie mcginty and i approve this message because it's your turn to get ahead.

tonight's debate would be one for the record books. experts are predicting this evening's broadcast could get near super bowl level viewership. >> that's not the only thing the debate has in common with the country's biggest game. einstein medical center cardiologist dr. vincent figuoea

says a study found an uptick in e.r. visits after the world cup final. an adrenaline surge can harm the heart. he says watching the debate will keep you informed, but walk away if you get too upset. signs of a problem include shortness of breath and chest pressure. how is this for a unique way of dislodging painful kidney stones? ride a roller coaster. a michigan urologist got the idea when several of his patients returned from theme parks. they said they passed their kidney stones after being jostled around on roller coasters. the back of the coasters worked best, passing stones more than 60% of the time. >> good to know. the nausea that accompanies many pregnancies can be a pain but new research finds it's a good thing.

the national snuinstitutes of health studied women, and those with nausea and vomiting were much less likely to lose their pregnancy. of course many have no nausea and do just fine. the reason pregnancy can induce nausea is unclear. doctors believe it has to do with rising hormone levels. next, our presidential coverage continues with more political punchout. >> we ask our political analysts what's the biggest mistake donald trump and hillary clinton could make and should avoid. plus keeping score. political science students at the jersey shore will be grading the candidates tonight. we'll explain how. up in smoke. demonstrators outside the pennsylvania statehouse fear a new tax will put some shop owners out of business. their concerns, next. approve this message.

i'd look her right in that fat ugly face of hers. she's a slob. she ate like a pig. a person who's flat chested is very hard to be a 10. does she have a good body? no. does she have a fat [expletive]? absolutely. do you treat women with respect?

i can't say that either. when pat toomey went to wasworking for wall street... toomey's plan would risk social security on the stock market, lining bankers' pockets with fees from our benefits that... could total billions, even if the market crashes, and seniors lose everything. katie mcginty is working for us. a mother of three, and ninth of ten kids, mcginty knows what matters. she'll fight for equal pay, affordable college, and... she'll always protect social security. dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising.

we are just 3 1/2 hours away, a little over 3 1/2 hours from what could be the most-watched debate ever. it's predicted that 94 million people will tune in. >> hofstra university on long island in new york is the debate venue. it starts at 9:00 tonight right here on nbc 10. the candidates are addressing

the entire country. one target group is millenials. >> nbc 10's ted greenberg checked in with the political science students at stockton university about what they hope to see during the debate tonight. >> are they appealing to the base? >> reporter: it's part of what they're learning. and for students taking dr. claire abernathy's introduction to american politics class at stockton university, tonight's presidential debate could also help shape their own decisions. >> it will help me pick who i'm going to vote for. >> this election, with so many voters that are either undecided or supporting third party candidates, there's much more potential for this debate to actually change voters' minds. >> reporter: hours before hillary clinton and donald trump hit the stage in the eagerly anticipated face-off on long island, these students focused on what they do and don't want to see. >> i'm really hoping they'll talk about the real issues in america and they're going to propose real solutions. as opposed to make a circus out of the debate. >> reporter: a presidential

debate watching party will be held tonight here inside stockton campus center. for abernathy's students, it's required viewing that's part of a homework assignment. >> consider what you think their goals as candidates should be and give them a grade. >> reporter: they'll fill out this presidential debate scorecard, based on how clinton and trump respond in several different categories. >> now that i've got the scorecard, i'm guessing we pay more attention. we'll take a closer look at what they're actually saying. >> i want them to listen to the content of the answers and notice what issues are being talked about and what issues are not being talked about. >> reporter: abernathy is pleased with how engaged her students are with this highly unusual presidential race. she says providing explanations has been challenging for her, because there's no precedent. ted greenberg, nbc 10 news. all right, now our political punchout team is back to break

down what we can expect tonight. democrat jim schultz and democrat mark alderman. >> tonight could be the most-watched debate ever. what specifically policy issues do you think are most important for clinton and trump to address tonight? >> well, i think the american people, jim, want to know how the president is going to keep them physically safe and economically secure, above and beyond all else. and i think the candidates need to discuss with great specificity what they will do about syria, what they will do about isis, what they will do about immigration into this country, what they will do about trade, what they will do about taxes, what they will do about jobs. the candidate who can credibly present solutions to those significant and serious issues is going to move the needle tonight. >> i agree with everything you

said except i think there's one more issue, and it's the whole divisiveness between the policing community and the neighborhoods that they police. i think that's going to be something we'll see a lot of tonight. you'll hear a lot about black lives matter and blue lives matter and how the candidates address those issues. >> this is a very good and fair addition. and i think it's very important that the candidates talk about how they will bring this country together, not drive it further apart. >> a rare agreement. >> i was going to say the same thing, keith. jim, what's the biggest mistake either candidate could make tonight, what should they avoid? >> in the case of donald trump, he needs to come across as credential a credible and measured and not slip back to prior debates where you had the name calling and other issues. for hillary clinton, it's all about telling the truth and being credible from that perspective. she can't overlawyer, as mark says, i would say lie, he would say lawyer, she has to be

forthright and honest. >> secretary clinton has to speak straight to the american people. she can't sound like a lawyer at a deposition. she has to demonstrate the command that she in fact has. if she tries to get too cute or clever, i don't think the american people are going to be interested in that. donald trump has to be respectful. he has to show respect for this process, respect for secretary clinton, respect for the american voters, respect for those who disagree with him. i think it's a tall order, jim, for donald trump to do that for 90 minutes, but that's his challenge. >> all right. our political punchout team, thank you so much for your insight, guys, see you back here tonight in the 7:00 hour for our hour-long debate special. >> that is happening live at xfinity live. there's still time for you to join us in the audience, or of course watch it right here on

that's still not enough for some protesters who are now calling for those resignations. >> we're making sure everybody is registered to vote here. we're going to get these people out of office. we need change in leadership. >> tonight charlotte's city council meets for the first time since last week's shooting. protesters are expected. this weekend, former philadelphia police commissioner charles ramsey row an op-ed in "the new york times." he said, quote, we need to develop a national standard for how information such as police video is released and how prosecutors, politicians, and law enforcement work together in a consistent and fair way. no one can be seen to be hiding information or to try to cover up unflattering truth." to read the former commission commissioner's op-ed, just tap on the nbc app. this was the scene at the state capital in harrisburg today. a rally was held against the tax

that could threaten vape store owners. beginning october 1st, electronic cigarette suppliers will be taxed at 40%. owners say that could put them out of business. >> we don't deserve extra taxes. we don't deserve to pay more for smoking less. it's going to close hundreds of small businesses and cost thousands of jobs in this commonwealth. >> alternate proposals are working their way through the house and senate, including one that would tax vape liquid at 5 cents a millimeter. in montgomery county, the horsham council takes the next steps to handle the contaminated water situation. the council, along with the water and sewer authority will update residents on the progress of the short term cleanup plan. they'll also talk about possible options for a long term plan. tests have found water in the area is contaminated with chemicals from nearby military

a live look at the venue, hofstra university. we'll hear more debate predictions from each candidate's running mate, coming up. does pat toomey speak for you? i also want to thank the nra for it's, uh, strong support for my campaign. pat toomey: he opposes an assault weapons ban

and got an "a" rating from the nra. "i have had a perfect record with the nra." and on women's health? "i would support legislation in pennsylvania that would ban abortion, and i would suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them." pat toomey: does he really speak for you? senate majority pac is responsible for the content of this advertising.

there's a long road ahead. a long road ahead. i'm hoping you guys are believing just a little bit. show me tonight you're believing in each other. >> who predicted this? the 3-0 eagles. it's got a nice ring to it, right? the birds have plenty of reason to celebrate after yesterday's trouncing of the steelers. one of the big reasons for that win, rookie quarterback carson wentz. coming up at 5:55, how wentz' brain is playing a major role in his success. >> it's been five months since the fliers last hit the ice. this season will be the team's 20th at the wells fargo center. crews were hard at work getting the ice ready to go. this time lapse video shows how

>> we're fine. we're fine. >> reporter: wildstein took the jury through the decision to close those lanes without any warning to anyone, always claiming he took his orders from baroni. wildstein claimed that the port authority commissioner, a former bergen county executive, was told about the shutdown days in advance and agreed to keep quiet. state senator loretta weinberg, when i asked her, should he resign from the board? >> if this is true, yes, he should resign as the commissioner of the port authority. >> reporter: this comes without the defense having a chance to cross-examine wildstein, probably later this week. one attorney tells me they expect to be able to tear wildstein's story to shareholre. brian thompson, nbc 10 news. we're all seeing the clouds increase now, and then we'll see
