bigger cooldown for your weekend, that's coming up next. planned parenthood. i would support legislation in pennsylvania that would ban abortion and i would suggest we have penalties for doctors who perform them. would you put people in jail for performing abortions? at some point doctors performing abortions i think would be subject to that sort of penalty.

dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising. vo: donald trump and pat toomey anhave plenty in common --. they're both putting pennsylvania women at risk. even after trump bragged about sexually assaulting women, toomey stood by him. on women's health - both trump and toomey would defund planned parenthood. on abortion: trump: "there has to be some form of punishment" toomey: "i would suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them." pat toomey and donald trump: too dangerous for pennsylvania women.

and so when i saw that, that was completely disqualifying. i'm a republican, but this election is so much bigger than party. my son max can't live in trump world. so i'm crossing party lines and voting for hillary. i don't always agree with her, but she's reasonable. and she's smart. she can work with people to solve problems. i want to be able to tell my kids that i did the right thing when it really mattered. i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message.

now less than 24 hours away from the final presidential debate, it's expected to be the largest audience the candidates will have before voters go to the polls next month. final prep being made to the debate stage in nevada. both candidates will be standing at podiums and answering questions from a moderator. lauren, back to a more structured format for this one. >> it will be more like the first debate with the moderator asking the questions, that debate is happening one building over from where i am now. right now i'm in spin alley, and

before things get really crazy out here, i'm going to take the opportunity to show you around. each of these debates has been hosted by a school. right now you can see we're at the university of nevada, las veg vegas. you may remember in that first debate, donald trump actually came into the spin room himself, which is pretty unusual. we have noticed that a security pen set up here in the spin room this time for any potential vips. so we'll have to wait until that debate is over to see whether either candidate makes a here after that final meeting on stage. so far two presidential debates, three, not four, hand shakes, questions from moderators and voters. now one more chance for hillary clinton and donald trump to offer answers on the debate stage. >> talk about some issues, talk

about climate change, talk about jobs. talk about trade agreements. >> i have heard a lot of repetition and what this one did, in one's spouse did, i want to hear what they will do. >> reporter: we have heard from a lot of voter who is want to hear about issues in this debate. >> he never apologizes to anyone for anything. >> reporter: they really have talked policy. they can get buried in entertainment and a little mud. >> the issue is that it's also very much in the limelight of a nascar race because the people are going around the track really fast. and there's a lot of crash and burn. >> in the final matchup. each candidate has hatheir own path to success. >> i don't think she has to launch any big assaults against donald trump, in fact in the first debate, i thought it was kind of clever how she got kind

of quiet and just let trump continue to talk. >> reporter: he says trump has the tougher job this debate. >> i think it's harder when you're sort of the challenger and you're behind, to sort of appear all of a sudden to be presidential, when you want at the same time or having to attack your opponent. >> now at the last debate, the talk was all about that tape that had just come out with donald trump making those lewd comments about women. this time they both have challenges for donald trump, we have heard sexual allegations against donald trump and hillary clinton, a string of hacked e-mails. here at home, we're flirting with some record temperatures, some places, what, even broke the record? >> we had a few record highs today. >> feels a lot like summer out there, not fall. >> it does not feel like fall at all. but enjoy the 80s if you like

summer but this weekend we're going to go from way above normal, normal is 66 this time of year, to possibly below normal upper 50s this weekend. we hope you're enjoying the record warmth today. a live look at rehoboth beach. philadelphia coming in at 79 degrees. still a comfortably warm 76 degrees. mt. laurel is at 78. if you're in robbinsville, you're a at 78. nice and dry on the radar, we have some clouds north and west, also some showers around the great lakes. those clouds will start to move in as we go through tomorrow. you'll notice a few more clouds in the forecast, but the rain should not be moving in. we'll be nice and dry all because of that big area of low

pressure. it's going to keep us nice and dry, it's also helping to pump in that warm air which is going to keep us in the 80s again tomorrow. today philadelphia got to 84 degrees, the record is 85, we're one degree away from that today. tomorrow the record is 80, i think we'll break that tomorrow. forecast high is 77. the record is 80 there. we could still be close tomorrow, but i think we'll be breaking a record in philadelphia. mid 80s we go into your wednesday, thursday, 77, friday, we drop to 72 and both thursday and friday, we're going to get those rain chances also. to have the umbrella for the end of the week, and then look at saf saturday. big drop to 58 degrees. yes, could be quite a bit of a shock to your system, go from summer straight to kind of a chilly fall weekend. tomorrow we're looking at temperatures still in the 80s. 80 degrees tomorrow redding, if

you're in vorhees, 80. future weather does keep us dry for tomorrow, partly cloudy skies, then we go into your thursday, early in the morning, we could have some rain just off to our west, moving through right around lunchtime, delaware and the jersey shore, friday morning more rain moves in and that kind of spreads across the area through the afternoon. so if you look at the extended 10-day on 10. we're going to keep dropping down, your weekend only around 60 degrees much cooler for the weekend and even going into next week. so enjoy the 80s while they're still here. i'm john clark from csn, which eagles player says they were embarrassed by what happened in washington. kurt schilling running for office? it's next. nearly three thousand miles - that's how far away

>> the flyers wrapping up that you are three-game road trip to start the season. michael noibert. they have had some good offense, seven goals in their first two games. >> first two games, those are in the past right now, there's two points available here that we got to do our best to finish up an important road trip here early in the season. sixers getting ready for their final preseason game on friday night. take a look at jolie with the dunk at practice, but he's going to come down hard and everybody wants to make sure he is okay. don't worry, he is, he's working on his season conditioning. >> we were embarrassed because we're prideful men and we know that you can run on somebody, you definitely can take
