welcome to "today" on this thursday morning. i love hearing about that hockey game. i think this takes it beyond beginner's luck. >> how many times have you told me watch out for this austin matthews guy, he's going to be a comer. >> he is from are the great state of arizona. the desert really produces another ice hockey great. >> we'll have more on that game in a little bit while. let us begin on this thursday morning with politics. let's get right to the state of the race. just 26 days to go until the election. at least four women have now come forward accusing donald trump of improper behavior. including kissing and groping. the trump campaign denies the accusations. meanwhile, a new bloomberg politics poll out just this morning shows hillary clinton now with a nine-point lead in the critical state of pennsylvania. 51%-42%. >> and for a third straight day, trump campaigns in florida before heading to ohio this afternoon. hillary clinton is off the trail, but the obamas will be campaigning for her. president obama in ohio, the first lady in new hampshire.

>> we've got it all covered this morning. our decision 2016 team is in place. let us start with nbc's hallie jackson. hallie, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, savannah. good morning. for days, donald trump has said that vulgar 2005 audio was locker room talk, words, not actions. that's now being disputed by the women coming forward. allegations trump and his campaign strongly deny. overnight, a flood of new allegations, multiple women who say donald trump touched or kissed them inappropriately. >> he was like an octopus. it was like he had six arms. he was all over the place. >> reporter: jessica leeds tells "the new york times" that more than three decades ago, she sat next to trump, a stranger on a flight, when he began groping her. >> when he started putting his hand up my skirt, and that was it. that was it. i -- i was out of there.

>> reporter: rachel crooks tells the "times" in 2005 when she was 22, she introduced herself to the businessman at trump tower. instead of a handshake, he kissed her. there is natasha stoynoff, writer for "people" magazine, also visiting mar-a-lago, a pregnant melania upstairs, donald trump inviting her into a room downstairs. i turned around and within seconds he was pushing me against the wall and forcing his tong do tongue down my throat. nbc news has not independently verified these allegations against trump. all of the women going public after sunday night's debate when trump was pressed about his lewd comments during a 2005 "access hollywood" taping, a show owned by nbc universal. >> just for the record though, are you saying that what you said on that bus 11 years ago, that you did not actually kiss women without consent or grope women without consent? >> i have great respect for women. nobody has more respect for

women than i do. and women have respect for me. and i will tell you -- >> have you done those things? >> no, i have not. >> reporter: the trump campaign vigorously denying new allegations. saying, "for "the new york times" to launch a completely false, coordinated character assassination against mr. trump on a topic like this is dangerous. to reach back decades in an attempt to smear mr. trump tr trivializes sexual assault and sets a new low for where the media is willing to go in its effort to control this election. >> why wasn't this reported at the time? >> reporter: the women's new allegations building on others. in an exclusive interview with nbc news, temple taggert, 1997's must utah, recalls meeting trump at for the first time at the pageant that he owned. >> it was at that time he turned

to me, embraced me and gave me a kiss on the looks. i remember being shocked. >> reporter: taggert tells nbc she didn't consider it an assault, just awkward. but she became upset when she heard that vulgar audio of trump emerged friday. >> i don't want to get emotional, but, yeah, it's really hard because you think of sending your little daughter out there -- sorry -- with men like that, that think like that. >> reporter: despite photos of trump and taggert together, trump tells nbc, "i don't know anything about her. i don't even know who she is." adding, "i emphatically deny this ridiculous claim." the trump campaign is now demanding a retraction of that "new york times" article pointing to the timing of its publ gags ju publication just weeks before election day. lawyers now threatening more potential action with one senior campaign aide telling nbc they're drafting a "big lawsuit" againstoutlets publishing what

they call lies. >> coming up, we'll hear from the actress at the center of the 2005 hot mike moment. >> nicolle wallace and steve kornacki, good morning to both of you. the last week we sat here on a number of occasions. you said that that "access hollywood" tape might be the low, might be bottom, might be the final straw. is this the final, final straw in this campaign? >> i think i should stop saying final. but i think that what i've never seen before -- not just in politics, but as a participant in any of these conversations -- is that a man comes out and confesses to sexual aggression. then women come out and detail sexual aggression. then the mat threatens to sue the women and the people who report on that. so i think he is in a real pickle with voters. he was the first one to describe his own sexual aggression, his own pattern of kissing before talking, kissing before consent.

anyone with kids knows that no means no. you teach children to talk about these things. he described sexual aggression without consent, without conversation. all of these stories, what they all have in common is sexual aggression without any conversation. >> let's be devil's advocate for a moment. of course, these are allegations. >> they're innocent until proven guilty. >> and he has denied them. first of all, the question is how trump defends them. if you're fending off sexual allegations in the final month of a campaign, it is a whole other issue. but he could say, look, this tape came out and now people are just following that script and saying, oh, yeah, that's what happened to me. i can see the flip side of the argument as well which is when he sat there and said i never did this. some women said, enough, i'm coming out -- yes, you did. >> yeah, he can say that. of course, the only thing is, you just had that statement from the trump campaign saying what are you doing, you're reaching back 10, 20 years for allegations here. well, that's also part of the trump strategy right now when it comes to this issue with hillary clinton.

they're bringing up bill clinton. 10, 20, 30 years ago and trying to implicate hillary clinton in that. so it also sort of takes the teeth a little bit out of the strategy that the trump campaign has been using to deflect some of this stuff. >> how does hillary clinton, how does the campaign deal with this? very, very carefully? >> very, very carefully. you know, i looked at where they're sort of manufacturing their money around. they're reaching into states like georgia and arizona. politically speaking, they're very much on the offense. but i think this is a story that's about destroying lives and about the potential, if the allegations are true, that just transcends politics. you just have to look quickly at how donald trump goes to war. there is no pleasure in a victim of potential or alleged abuse or harassment coming out and going to war with donald trump. he's not some sort of soldier that fights fire with fire. he is a suicide bomber. i think you really have to give these women, at least until more is known, benefit of the doubt

they didn't willingly step into a political fray. >> a lot for them to take on by becoming public and putting their names out there. there is no question about it. we have to look at this through the lens of politics. real quick, steve, do you see the same dynamic in play that we've seen from the beginning with donald trump, which is his true believers and his supporters just really don't care and are not going to believe these allegations. >> yeah. i think there is also a lot of anger at the media among his core supporters. here's the problem for trump. even if this just reinforces what both sides think of him, he's behind. the people he needs to win over, they're really suburban women. i think they're the ones who might be most affected by a story like this. >> steve, thank you so much. appreciate it. meanwhile, the clinton campaign is hitting trump hard over these latest accusations. even as it faces new trouble of its own. nbc's kristen welker is in las vegas with more on that. kristin, good morning to you. >> reporter: matt, good morning to you. secretary clinton will spend the day fund-raising out west. she's getting a big boost this

morning, an endorsement from "the washington post" which writes she has the potential to be a great president and calling donald trump "dreadful." all this comes as her campaign is taking sharp new aim at the latest controversy enveloping donald trump. hillary clinton hitting her stride and hitting donald trump before a fired-up crowd in las vegas wednesday night. >> his campaign has said today that he's going to, and i quote, run a scorched earth strategy, whatever that means. that's how desperate they are. that's all they have left. >> reporter: while she didn't directly mention the new allegations leveled against trump, she did slam him for his alleged treatment of women. >> you know, this latest incident about, you know, how he treats women. well, he's doubled down. he doubled down on his excuse that it's just locker room talk. >> reporter: but in a statement, her campaign addressed the latest controversies head-on,

saying these reports suggest that he lied on the debate stage and that the disgusting behavior he bragged about in the tape is more than just words. all this helping fuel the campaign's belief they may be able to expand the election map. clinton aides telling nbc news they believe traditionally red states like utah, arizona, and georgia may be in play. >> we are competing everywhere and the polls are tightening because i think americans want to turn out in as big a number as possible to reject the dark and divisive and hateful campaign that is being run by my opponent. >> reporter: but clinton is dealing with her own challenges. wikileaks releasing 1,700 new hacked e-mails wednesday. republicans pointing to one purportedly from a clinton aide writing about conservative catholics, their rich friends wouldn't understand if they became evangelicals. that e-mail has not been

authenticated by nbc news. house speaker paul ryan blasting the clinton campaign saying its disdain for the christian faith and evangelicals is disturbing. >> this whole effort is led by the russians. >> reporter: with the fbi saying it believes russia is responsible for prior hacks, clinton campaign chairman john podesta also blaming russia for hacking his personal e-mails. "this level of meddling by foreign power can only be aimed at boosting donald trump." >> reporter: this morning, one of trump's top advisor, former new york mayor rudy giuliani, is apologizing after saying on wednesday that sector clintonren falsely claimed she was in new york on september 11, something secretary clinton never did. he said, "i was wrong and i

apologize." while secretary clinton fund raises today be with top surrogates will be out in force including the president, first lady and vice president. >> kristen welker, thank you. another major story breaking this morning, the u.s. firing missiles at rebel-held sites in yem yemen, retaliation after insurgents targeted u.s. navy ships in that region. nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel has the latest. good morning, richard. what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, good morning. it does seem like the u.s. military is getting sucked in to yet another conflict in the middle east. the pentagon announcing that u.s. war ships have launched tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy three radar sites along the coast of yemen in areas that are controlled by rebels. it is important to understand the context here. for about a year, saudi arabia has been at war with rebels in yemen. that war backed by the united

states. because of that support, anti-american and netanyaanti-s sentiment have been growing among the rebels. then this weekend, the rebels allegedly launched an attack from their territory targeting u.s. war ships. yesterday it did happen again. there was yet another failed attack on u.s. warships in the red sea. what we saw early this morning was the u.s. military response. the u.s. saying it will and the any time its sailors are put in harm's way. >> richard engel on the story, thank you. now to two police officers in boston fighting for their lives after a dramatic shoot-out with a man who was wearing body armor. nbc's tammy leitner is in boston for us. tammy, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, matt. we know that two police officers responded to this neighborhood last night here in boston after

two roommates got into an argument. one of those roommates was wearingwear ing a ballistic vest and had an assault weapon. he opened fire on police. the request he this morning -- why. >> reporter: this morning, two police officers struggling to survive, one shot multiple times during a domestic dispute turned gun fight in a boston neighborhood late wednesday. >> i need all ten cars to respond to east boston. we have a 303, possible officer shot. >> reporter: police say two roommates were having an argument when one of the men pulled out a gun. when police arrived, the armed men began shooting at them and they returned fire. >> advising units at this time shooter is still shooting. >> reporter: two officers seriously wounded in the exchange. >> i need some units that are free to assist. >> reporter: authorities briefly locked down the neighborhood until s.w.a.t. officers shot and killed the suspect. >> they were able to neutralize the subject who was armed with

some sort of assault rifle, who also had on a ballistic vest. >> there was a lot of gunshots. like over 30 gunshots. then we just seen bunch of police come in s.w.a.t. teams, the dogs, everybody. >> reporter: one of the officers has about 28 years on the police force, and the second officer, a 12-year veteran. >> domestic calls are probably the most volatile. you never really know what you're walking into. i think we see right now the dangers of our job. it is a difficult job, but our officers, i'm real proud of the work they do day in and day out in this city to keep this city safe. >> reporter: one of those officers went into surgery early this morning. both of them are in extremely critical condition. matt? >> all right, tammy, thank you very much. we've got some new developments now on that fiery plane crash in connecticut. a u.s. official says the crash appears to be a suicide. a student pilot was killed tuesday when the plane went down on a busy street in hartford. the flight instructor survived

inches of rain. it will weaken as it moves back over the water. winds right now already gusting up to 51 miles per hour. the building codes in bermuda are pretty tight, so usually bermuda tends to fare pretty well in this situation. but this is the first major hurricane we've seen come close to bermuda in a long time. as we go through the day this morning, we are going to see those hurricane-force winds but it should start to improve as early into this evening as perhaps 7:00, 8:00 tonight. perhaps 7:00, 8:00 tonight. that's we'll help you style your home from floor to ceiling. now get up to $40 off our best paint via rebate and make your home happy, at lowe's.

down, opens her passenger door, slides in and grabs her purse. the entire crime takes only 19 seconds. police call these crooks sliders. >> this is the lowest of the low. before the victim even knows it, they're heading home, looking for their yours purpurse. >> reporter: they pull into a gas station and look for a victim, a woman pumping gas all by herself. this is my producer, lindsey. they pull up alongside and no one would even notice because you are pumping gas at another pump. they call them sliders, remember. so they slide out and stay beneath the door frame so no one on the other side of the car can see them. here's the pocketbook right here. i grab the bag, close the door, slide back into my own car. no one is any the wiser. and, boom, i have her bag and i'm out of here. how long did that take in just seconds. i'm gone. now watch the same demonstration from lindsey's point of view. she's looking at the pump. right there, do you see that?

no. look closer. i opened her passenger door. you can barely see it. here, i'll highlight it. see it now? i get her bag, close the door and speed away. did you hear the door open or close when i came in? >> no. i even knew you were coming and i didn't see or her anything. music is playing loud, there's cars around. i'm pumping my gas. didn't see a thing. >> reporter: new cases across the country. just weeks ago in south florida, watch this man snatch the victim's purse from the front seat. by the time she notices, he's racing away but she chases him down, climbing on his car and hitting him with her wallet. she tumbles off. thankfully, she's okay but he still gets away. and in detroit, another new case. this thief waits until the woman is looking at the pump and strikes right there. best advice is to lock the doors. also rolt windol the windows up. if you see somebody pull up next to a car, acting suspicion,

sliding out, get a description, a license plate. things that can help us put the bad guys away. don't mess with that woman who jumped on top of the car. police say these things are targeting women who leave bags on the seat with their wallets, keys, cell phone inside. one-stop shopping for a criminal. but as you pointed out, it is not just women. this is for men, too. if you're going to keep your doors unlocked, leave nothing on that front seat. >> the woman who jumped on the car, yeah, brave. but that could have ended very badly. >> thank y >> thankfully, she's okay. the arizona teen who just had the greatest start to an nhl career -- ever. and carson has some dramatic video of a man who raced into action to save that world.

hit and some music off his first new album. >> what is he going to perform? do we know? >> yes. >> you want to be surprised? >> by the way, his first new album in more than 30 years. >> i love him. another big concert tomorrow. >> who? >> we are so excited. get here early. get ready to rock. kings of leon. >> wow. also this morning, who loves pork chops? >> i do! >> giada's in the kitchen. we can smell it. before we get to weather, dylan showed us a picture in the orange room of her throwback thursday. look at this photo. you have to explain it. it is like your parents' defense mechanism. when boys chase you. how old are you there? >> i think i was a freshman in high school. i was on my way to a school dance that i don't think i

danced with anyone. >> is that dance actually made of the leaves? >> it sure looks like it. there was a dress underneath. that was the jacket. my mom thought, look how nice it will look with the leaves in the background. >> it is an exact match. >> if you were wearing those as pants, we'd evenly see your head. >> we'll have more pictures from dylan's childhood tomorrow. >> the glasses in most of the pictures are just -- yeah. they're embarrassing. >> you want to do a check of the weather? >> for fall. let's look at what's going on this weekend. on friday we are still looking at that rain potential especially in the pacific northwest where we could see flooding rain and very gusty winds, hurricane force in some spots along the immediate coastline. on saturday we're going to see extreme winds again, we could see up to 100-mile-per-hour gusts possible along the coast. we are looking at unseasonably mild temperatures in the 70s and 80s even down through southern

plains on saturday. looks nice in the northeast. looks very unsettled on sunday. we'll see most of those showers across the western great lakes sunday morning, then they'll move east as we go into the afternoon. it is just a cold front and once it passes through, still more rev rain in the pacific good morning, i'm meteorologist erika martin. we have a couple high clouds, but highs in the low to mid-70s. a couple scattered showers, certainly not a washout. once the showers clear, we'll see sunshine in the forecast on friday and saturday. temperatures in the 60s for this weekend. 70s by sunday. we may see some showers on monday. otherwise, after that, it remains dry until thursday. be sure to follow us on social media @nbcphiladelphia. >> we're celebrating a big anniversary on the plaza. 50 years? >> 50 years. >> i love this! where are you guys from? >> jackson, minnesota.

>> where did you get married in jackson, minnesota? >> westburg, minnesota. >> where was your honeymoon? had. >> colorado springs. >> your 50th wedding anniversary celebration in new york city. >> yes. >> thank you so much. guys? >> dylan, thank you so much. this week on "today food," we are all about fresh fall produce. giada knows how to put it to good use. >> i am cooking tonight and tomorrow night. >> is that pressure? >> tonight it is a little easier because i am making sandwiches. you can make hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them in advance, so that's great. tomorrow is a little more pressure. >> the first dish is a pork chop. it smells divine. tell me about the ingredients first. >> these are pork chops

agrodolce. i get them at about one to two inches in thickness, the pork chops. keep them nice and moist. pomegranates for decoration. butter, balsamic vinegar. i make a little glaze. balsamic vinegar, thyme and garlic. honey to sweeten. let it cook down for about three minutes together. then finish it with cold butter. it has to be cold because it thickens the sauce. >> room temp wouldn't do it? >> no. that's what you want to do. it basically will just melt faster and thicken the whole thing. when it thickens, what we do is in the meantime, season some pork chops. you said you like pork chops, right? >> i love pork chops. >> you do salt and pepper both sides. >> yeah. as long as the grill's nice and hot -- >> that was my next question.

>> i put a little bit of olive oil. not a lot. the more fat you put on it, the more it is going to just basically cause a bunch of steam and heat. you're just going to basically cook it about five minutes per side. then once you flip it, you start to glaze it. you don't want to glaze it yet. you want to flip it and glaze it. then you just glaze it for another five minutes on the opposite side. look how gorgeous it looks. >> you glaze, then take it right off? >> yeah. >> there is only one thing we need to do, and that's ask our taste testers downstairs. >> i have to say, pork chops are my absolute favorite. >> can you hear them? >> i miss the bone. >> they didn't give you the bone. i don't know why. because the bone is the best part. sometimes pork chops tend to get a little dry. >> it is kind of fragrant almost. >> sweet but also a bit of a

bite from the balsamic vinegar. >> you guys liked it, right? >> mm. yes. >> next dish is perfect fall dish. farro. >> this is all about mushrooms and leeks. i already browned the mushrooms. put leeks in a pan. farro is a grain kind of like ri rice. it's like a risotto but made with farro. toast that up. add white wine just like making a risotto. you let that cook down for a minute. to kind of cut down time, i like to add the brought, the warm brought, a little bit more than just a cup at a time. that way it doesn't take so long to cook. >> are you calling this a side? >> this can be an entree, yeah. but it can also be a side with the pork chops. in my restaurant this is an entree. it cooks down, ends up looking

like this. >> any tricks? i know risotto can be kind of tricky in terms of not getting it overcooked. >> this you cannot overcook. that's the great thing about using farro and it is better for you, really, because it has more fiber. parmesan cheese and a little bit of pecorino. one-third cup of each. finish it off with a little bit of butter. frozen peas, because i love peas. >> taste testers, how do you like the farro? >> it's got such a nice bite. >> definitely has more of a chew than rit soto. it's very fall. >> it is very fall! feels like so cozy. giada, thank you so much. she's going to stick around and answer our questions on today.com and on our facebook page. up next, barry gibb performing a beegees classic for us. but first, this is "today" on nbc. do you own a plane? do you own a bank? pat toomey owned both.

now i'm beat. but, you know, it's really -- i did the left knee 15 years ago and the difference between that and this, there were some other complicating factors. but the idea that i could be out, if not today, certainly tomorrow, is mind boggling to me. >> what is the comparison? how long was your recovery when you got your first one 15 years ago? >> well, like i said, it was from a car accident so there was some other mitigating circumstances. but i with a is in the hospital for about 11 days because of some complications. just the idea, this was -- this scar here all had like metal -- literally metal staples in it. so that was a lot of fun coming out. this knee, it's basically just glued. you can see where my doctor put his initials so that.

>> i'm b. i sleepless than six. >> i'm c, and nine on weekends. i sleep a lot. >> before the baby? >> yeah. i'm getting all the sleep i can. >> here's the thing. you might think that more than nine is the best. that's not the case. the best answer is seven to eight hours. people that sleep more than nine hours have other issues going on that cause them to want to sleep that much or they're frying to balance out the fact that they're not sleeping most of the time. women need seven, men seven and a half. men are needier. next question, how long does it take you to fall asleep. less than 10 minutes. 10 to 20 minutes. more than 20 minutes. >> i fall asleep fastfy have the tv on. i can't sleep without the tv on. >> i don't have a tv in my room. i wouldn't be able to turn it off, i'm out in five minutes. >> the answer is b.

if you are sleeping so quickly, you don't remember it happening, you are probably too tired. just put your head on the pillow. if you're more than 20 minutes, usual you are thinking about things that happened during the day. the way you deal with those things that happen during the day is through sleep. 10 to 20 is the best. if you can. you have trackers? >> yes. >> i've never tracked my sleep. >> they even have apps now. i have one that i put next to my head and it patterns your breathing. >> get a tracker. don't care how you figure this out. but quizzes aren't as good as actually knowing. i tracked my sleep. >> what do you get? >> this is last night's sleep. october 12th. last night's sleep. >> this is an app? >> this is a device. there are many you can use. i partner with redman. i got -- first of all, out of 100, i got 96. i got seven hours and 3 minutes.

rem sleep is how you process memories. >> dr. oz is going to come back. carson? >> yes. look at there. looks like halloween trick but it is not. little smoke and marbles. dr. oz will stick

good morning, it is 9:26. we have a lot of fog around our area. let's get the forecast from erika martin. >> we still have fog, dense fog with a live shot over the ben franklin bridge. the visibility is improving a little bit, but the national weather service issued a hazardous outlook. temperatures will top out in the 70s, but we have to wait for this to move south. one or two scattered showers are possible, but a great weekend in the forecast. back to you, lauren. thank you. police are investigating a brutal killing in hunting park. a man was shot ten times in the head execution-style. it happened near the steps of a

here we go. if we could turn back time, wouldn't it be so nice? unfortunately, we can't get younger, but we can look and feel younger by slowing down the clock. >> dr. oz back to reveal one of the biggest contributors to aging. >> it is what is going on in your gut. we all know food is important. but why it is important is part of the challenge here. a lot of the inflammation people that have that could be joint pain, headaches, actually starts in their intestinal system. if the bacteria in your gut is waging a war against you, it's a problem. imagine these are the little bacteria in your gut. you have ten times more of these in cells in your body. if they are all the same, it's because you haven't been eating the right foods. put the usual junk food, potato chips, cookies, it creates

inflammation. you'll start to see the fumes churning up. that inflammation as it percolates out there, the immune system says what's going on here? i'm going to attack everything i can. joints, you'll get the flu more often, i'll mess with your sleep. and it ages us. because we're not supposed to have continuous inflammation. >> how do you know what foods have this effect? >> junk foods. >> all the junk foods. >> yeah. blow that away. instead of having one kind of bacteria, you want foods that give you lots of bacteria. foods that do that are a lot of leafy greens, onions -- >> really? >> yeah. even foods that prebiotics. these are probiotics. >> dr. oz, can you have too much

of this? for example, yogurt every morning, is that bad for you? >> these are all the foods you should be eating in order to feed the bacteria the right things so they'll grow the right way. onions, garlics, shallots. that whole class. a lot of artichokes, avocados, these feed healthy bacteria in your gut. sauerkraut is a combination of a prebiotic and a probiotic because it is fermented. we put all of these on to a daily checklist. if you want to deal with aging, you want to do something the same way every single day. the checklist is back here. we cover the probiotics and prebiotics. the herbs. other things on our checklist -- we put this all on the "today" website. >> can we eat yogurt every morning? will that cover it? >> yes. it won't cover it all. you want yogurt if you want that

as your prebiotic. but other things as well. >> greek yogurt in the morning, then i go to chili's and have artichoke and cheese dip, that should be fine. >> no. this is the problem right here. >> have a nice kale salad! >> other things on your daily checklist, call a friend. >> no, carson! >> if you want to turn back time, keep track of time. both of you over here. this is a workout, again we'll put it on the "today" show website. >> i actually do this workout but not in heels. >> the reason seven minutes is important, everyone has to admit that they have like -- is so organized they can at least do 30 seconds or a minute. if you can do 30 seconds or a minute, you can build up to seven minutes. let's take squats. carson, oh, my god. that's embarrassing. >> give me my phone!

>> seven minutes is going right now. >> stay in the squat? >> no. keep going down and up, up and down, seven minutes a day. >> just these squats? >> no. multiple exercises. again, we put the video up. >> it is a great seven-minute workout. i did it and you actually feel it. >> keep going. >> dr. oz, you can see his show weekdays. keep the local listings. coming up next, should you rent? should you buy? should you renovate before you move in? we'll answer all your real estate questions right after this. >> carson, you are

>> sure. i just got married. my wedding i think airs tonight on bravo. it is very nerve-racking. like i'm going through it all over again. but a lot of married couples have that question of kind of do we go into something that's bigger or do we go into something that has beautiful finishes. >> are you going to watch? >> yes, yes. i just relived the whole thing all over again. >> congratulations. >> with one eye closed, maybe. >> don't say that. but size versus finishing. how do we pick? is there a compromise, like with marriage, for example. is there a compromise? >> i look at it, plastic surgery versus makeup. finishings or makeup. you can always change it. it is going to cost you money but you can always change it later if you don't like it. size, if you want to add an addition, buy the apartment next door, that is plastic surgery, that is a lot more money, a lot more work. there's rehab involved, there's down time and that's hard to come back from. if it is the same price, i always tell my clients go for

the bigger space and you don't have to do the renovation at all once. a lot of people get nervous. they say we don't have the money. do the kitchen first. that's most important because you got to eat. do the floors first. then do everything else kind of piecemeal. bigger first, then take your time. renovation. >> bigger issues, when to buy. if you are renting and get caught in the comfort zone of every month just paying the rent, eventually you want to feel like a grown ln up. you said right now in new york it is a decent time to buy. >> right now we are in a preelection time period, clearly. preelection is a great time to purchase because sellers are the most anxious because there is a lot of inventory on the market right now. if you look at it, where we are, interest rates are 3.6% for 30-year fixed. year over year we're about 3.8%. it is still relatively low. for what you can get for your purchase if you have the down payment, buying is always the

better option. we are in the first discernible buyer's market that we've had since 2009. >> is that around the country? >> around the country. not just around new york. really in new york, but it is everywhere. if you are a buyer and you have a down payment, you have the power to negotiate, make offers. >> proximity versus community. >> that's one of the biggest ones that i have. you want to be either close to where you work or in a better neighborhood. do you want to be in a city or a suburb? that's a hard one to do. i always like to split it down the middle. that's the compromise. you don't have to be all the way out where the commute is an hour, make a half-hour. compromise. >> for ryan's wedding finale, it airs tonight at 10:00, 9:00 central. dylan, does it feel like wedding weather? >> it does feel like wedding weather actually. in the northeast, we'll see

beautiful weather in the 50s and 60s. but tomorrow we're still going to be in the 50s and 60s. back through the northern plains. the big story will be out in the pacific northwest where we've got a series of storms that will produce several inches of rain and perhaps hurricane-force winds. saturday unseasonably mild through the middle of the country. still nice in the northeast. this cold front will trigger a couple of scattered showers and storms through the day on sunday, first through the morning, t good morning, i'm meteorologist erika martin. we do have a couple extra clouds in the forecast for today, but highs topping out in the low to mid-70s. a couple scattered showers, certainly not going to be a washout. once those clouds and showers clear, we're seeing sunshine in the forecast on friday and saturday. temperatures in the 60s for this weekend. 70s by sunday. we may see some showers on monday. otherwise, after that, it remains dry until thursday. be sure to follow us on social media @nbcphiladelphia. >> that's your latest forecast. tamron? >> dylan, thank you.
