>> it's been a busy day for president trump. he designed three executive orders, the first formally withdraws the u.s. from the huge pacific trade deal known as the tpp. he also reinstated a policy to limit abortion funding overseas and exacted a highering freeze for most federal government workers. one of president trump top priorities is to dismantle the affordable care act. lauren mayk finds out what could be coming for you and your family. >> reporter: it's one of his first acts as president on an issue that played big in the campaign. >> we will be able to immediately repeal and replace obamacare. >> but now comes the complicated part starting with this order to minimize the economic burden of the affordable care act. what does it mean? >> it's really hard to know and hard to read the tea leaves here. >> reporter: the order which says the administration plans to repeal the obamacare doesn't

make immediate changes but it does send a signal. >> it really for the incoming administration, trying to send a signal that the new president intends to do things related to the affordable care act and in some things undo things related to it. >> reporter: it's a signal that could have a trickle down effect. >> if there's a strong signal that the trump administration is really begin to pull apart at the law and jeopardize the finances of insurance companies, then that will create a lot of anxiety in the insurance industry and potentially cause some to leave the marketplace. >> reporter: while the president would need congress to implement a new plan the administration could make some changes to this one without legislation. for example, changing what insurers are required to offer, like free birth control and changing who has to buy insurance by granting wider hardships exceptions to people. on that dr. grandee points to the order to minimize the economic burden. >> some of the language in the

executive order makes some people think that a strategy. >> reporter: in university city, i'm lauren mayk, nbc10 news. >> in the pennsylvania state capitol today state lawmakers say there will be devastating implications if the affordable care act is repealed. if it's eliminated more than half million pennsylvaniaens will lose the health care they need. it will have a ripple effect on hospital and the state economy. >> back to our weather now and the nor'easter we're tracking tonight. you can see the storm right there. >> glenn, how long will this system keep hitting us? >> we're still going to be getting rain from this tomorrow probably even into the afternoon. the cape may is pretty much cutoff but only temporarily. as you'll see. it's cut off in philadelphia temporarily. 38 degrees with just cloudy skies now. not even as windy as it was. still getting some pretty heavy rain in new jersey, the lehigh

valley, delaware is just clouds. you can see the difference if we split the area in half. the northern half, rain, southern half, dry. and here's part of that wet part. this goes from ship bottom up to the rest of long beach island up through trenton. bucks county has been getting quite a bit. even though the rain is tapering off. farther to the north it's not. got heavy rain coming through lehigh valley, moving up into even colder air so you've got heavy freezing rain and heavy sleet and parts of the poconos. this is not good and this will continue most of the night. this isn't good either. heavy snow along the mountains of pennsylvania turnpike putting that to a stall but here's the center of the low, way down south and it's coming straight up this way. so until this gets passed this we're not in the all clear.

we're not going to be getting the steady type of rain we had this afternoon and it's likely to taper off as we head toward midnight. still more coming up from the south and spinning around during the day tomorrow as you can see and perhaps from time to time a little bit of snow or sleet in parts of berks county, lehigh valley county, certainly into the poconos. not necessarily a lot but just enough and then tomorrow night we finally dry out. this northeast wind gusting to 44, 43 miles an hour, right at the shore right now and it feels like it's 30 in philadelphia, 25 in allentown, 27 in wilmington. it feels like winter out there. and it's going to feel like that during the night tonight. as long as those northeast winds continue, we have more moderate flooding coming with the next high tide. we already had it this afternoon and the back bay's still

flooding in many parts of the areas as you've seen with those pictures from atlantic city. the high tide at the ocean occurred at 4:20 in the back bays it's a couple hours later so they're still getting hit by that. tomorrow we got cloudy skies, it's chilly, not quite as cold, quite as windy or wet as what we've seen today but robbinville, 40 degrees, gusty winds. this is an offshore wind tomorrow, so by tomorrow afternoon the ocean is going to be really calmed down. significantly. now 43 for the high tomorrow but 57, 57 with sunshine on wednesday. how's that for a day? 50 on thursday and then we starting to back to winter temperatures. the windy day on thursday that's pulling the colder air in and looks what happens starting friday, through much of next week.

notice couple things. we've got winter like temperatures. 20s at night, 30s during the day. you also have dry weather for about a week. >> and you can track those nor ease terz with the same technology our meteorologists use. just download the nbc10 app. they're sent to you as they happen. close encounters with live insects, birds and reptiles, today was superscience at philadelphia's academy of natural sciences. home schooled students and their parents spent the day exploring the museum. they took part in several hands on workshops with -- >> new restaurant opened its doors in philadelphia today and there are two things that make it unique, one it's specialty is soup and two, every penny of profit is donated to people who need a meal. rooster soup company is a partnership between federal donuts and broad street ministry and federal donuts has about 500

first sixers in 2014 to receive the honor. unfortunately embiid won't be duplicating that this week. he is listed as doubtful for tomorrow's game with the clippers and definitely out as scheduled in wednesday. brent barnes talks about playing without the big fellow. >> i think you go and challenge them in relation to rim protection and what embiid provides us, the group around them has also got to perform at a higher level when you don't have joel. >> let's go to the eagles now. good news for couple of eagles also on the squad running back darryn sprolz and center jason kelsey replacing players who will participate in the super bowl. on saturday seven of the behind skooens storms our eagles network go everywhere to bring

the journey saturday at seven only on nbc10. former eeg erik roe. roe was eagles second round pick out of utah and traded him to new england for a draft pick. today howie rowsman talked about the decision. >> we're not going in there thinking we're getting over on bill belichick. what we were thinking about was, where he was on our depth chart. we probably make 50 decisions a year that are really real decisions that we sit down and make. to say that we don't go back and think about them and think about whether we're right. that's part of it. >> of course the upcoming nfl draft will be right here in philadelphia. back to you guys. >> let's get back to tracking this nor'easter hitting our region all day and night tonight. >> absolutely. let's go to nbc10 tim furlong. tim, the rain is tapering off

dear fellow citizen, i know what it's like to want to relax with your family. but enjoying today doesn't mean losing sight of tomorrow. so while i invest in "the now" my mortgage, vacations i still invest in the future, like my children's college tuition and retirement. i can help you piece together your financial journey for today and tomorrow. if you have a question about investing, ask me. sincerely, amanda etheridge, fellow planner and fellow citizen.

is he. back now with a beautiful live look on broad street. roads wet out there but we're in

a lull right now as people head home from work tonight. decent time ong that at least. >> take one more look at conditions in cape may tonight. the wind isn't as strong as it was and that rain tapering off. this is one of those days when you really want the most accurate forecast, every day but specifically when there's so much going on. >> there's such a variety of conditions across the area. relatively quiet in philadelphia and cape may. look at that radar, see that pink, that is freezing rain and sleet and apparently it is getting really, really ugly in the poconos so just layers of ice there. now that area of heavier sleet in the pink there, that's not going anywhere. heavier rain in the lehigh valley, north hampton counties going to have to watch this during the evening to see, if any, of that changes over to sleet as the atmosphere gets a little bit colder during the night tonight. we're going to be seeing another windy, wet day tomorrow but not quite as bad as today.
