similar to what they were yesterday. 56 degrees in philadelphia, but look at these beautiful skies that you see throughout the region. we have got more sunshine coming over the next three days, there's no real doubt about that. the coldest day is going to be saturday, it should be significantly colder than sunday, and yes, there is a possible nor'easter to affect the area on tuesday, that's several days away. we have got nothing on this satellite radar close by, lots of sunshine, we got clear skies and much of the country is dry, we have got more of that dry air coming in. that's why we're so confident that it is going to be sunny over the weekend. it's also going to be warmer tomorrow, the temperatures up to 62 degrees in fairmount, but look at the wind, 15 to 25, gusting to 35 miles an hour.

jones paid $495. veteran purchasers may not, under any circumstances pay a brokers fee or a commission. >> when you come to me and you say i want to purchase a home, you would at that point tell me that i'm going to be using my va benefits. that's your trigger to me that there would be no fee allowable. >> i got screwed, i mean, because i thought that my agent was actually looking out for me. >> i served my country well, and why do you want to do something like that? >> reporter: we reached out to the remax office, and by phone he agreed to do an interview. we arrived and he was nowhere to be found. but he did send us an e-mail

saying the charges were an oversight and provided copies of the checks he sent to jones and russell. >> thank you very much mr. hairston for helping me out of that. >> also an email marick sent was copies of three other vets that also didn't know they didn't have to pay a fee. for more on va guidelines, go to nbc.com and search for the story. marick also gave each vet a $200 gift card. and add that to our recovery counter and it now stands a $168,486. those guys never should have been charged that. >> if you have a consumer complaint for nbc10 responds,

and colder on saturday. we don't have any significant cloud cover around here or anywhere for 1,000 or more miles. so you know we have got some great weather ahead as we head into the weekend. the weekend is going to start off cold and then warm up. so take a look at that, today so far 57. tomorrow, 62. then it drops. then it goes right back up as we go into the beginning of next week. so with that, and the sunshine, don't get much better weather for football. kickoff temperatures 60 degrees, the wind is only 10 to 15 miles an hour. not too much of an issue. so we're looking pretty good. and as we go through the night, we're looking pretty good too. everybody's got mostly clear skies. it's not nearly as cold as it was this morning.

by the time you get up tomorrow morning, we don't see those 30s, it's mostly in the 40s. even in allentown, 46, quakertown 43. they were way down into the 30s this morning. then going up into the upper 50s into the low 60s tomorrow. but cold front is coming through, during the afternoon and look at this, remember, we had highs in the 60s? by 5:00 in the afternoon, the cold air is starting to come in already. allentown 43, quakertown 43. exton and wedding 45. so we have got beautiful weather for the eagles. tailgate temperature in the 50s, the weekend is looking good, lots of sunshine both days, sunday up to 62 degrees, and lehigh valley goes from 48 to 58.
