11:04 am
do. so, it's unfortunate, the events that have happened in our country, but, it's positive in a light, because you're seeing people in social media realm, in the athletic sphere taking a stand and showing other people it's okay to do the same thing. >> i always view football and any sport, really as something no matter what race, gender religion, people come together and they have a good time. it's kind of upsetting to see that people are treating it that waynow. >> eagles cornerback jalen mills tweeted that that show of unity,ever we remain committed for advocaty and equality and social justice for all. and stacy malcolm jenkins national anthem tweeted this series of pictures of unity across the league saying proud of the nfl and players advocating free speech liberty, and justice for all. it will be interesting to see if other teams, other players

11:10 am
61-yard field goal until yesterday. the eagles couldn't contain their joy. the team tweeted this picture of jake elliot's triumphant ride on the shoulders of his teammates. and cell phone video captured jake elliot's parents in the stands at the linc. you can see as pride and emotionhe kicker's mom and dad. and eagles running back darren sproles is having surgery today for a broken arm, but that is not all. nfl insiders say he also tore his acl. that is a main ligament in the knee if you didn't know that. it happened on a running play in the second quarter of the game. no word yet on how long sproles will be out. that hurts. all right, in bucks county cleanup continues on an oil spill that closed a busy road during the morning rush. it happened at upper state and county line roads in warrenton

11:12 am
the bridges aren't jammed up right now, but we're watching some of that delay around collins avenue and the right-hand shoulder is still blocked there. the rest of new jersey though looks okay. here's 295 around the black horse pike. northbound and southbound on 295, no problems. erin back to you. >> breaking news north korea's new comments that suggest the country is ready to take action against the united states. plus the fight for votes. the last-ditch efforts underway to save the legislation and repeal and replace obamacare from being dead on arrival. and this is the case that some say may have cost hillary clinton the election. sentencing for the latest chapter in the sentencing drama involving anthony weiner. and take a look right now of our radar and satellite, and it is looking like another clear, sunny day with some near-record warmth again. we'll talk about those temperatures and when fall returns to the forecast, coming up.
11:15 am
breaking news this morning involving north korea. the foreign minister just announced in new york that president trump's words at the united nations are a declaration of war against north korea. he says that means north korea has the right to shoot down u.s. bombers even when they are not inside north korean air space. this weekend, bombers flew closer to north korea than any other time in recent history.
11:16 am
the white house's new travel ban now includes more countries. the trump administration released the list just hours after president trump's original travel ban expired. that original ban stopped immigration from six countries. the new ban removes sudan from that list but adds restrictions on immigrants and visitors from north korea, venezuela, and chad. venezuela is the first south american country to be included in that ban. the new restrictions start on october 18th. in the last few minutes, republican senator rand paul announced he will not vote in favor of the new plan to overhaul america's health care system, and that could be a death blow for the graham/cassidy bill. this morning republicans released a revised version of the bill, which is aimed at winning over wavering senators. the revised plan would let insurance companies raise premiums on older people and people with pre-existing conditions. the menew version would also give
11:17 am
more money to maine, alaska and kentucky, states that have senators have either said they would vote no on the bill or haven't announced their stance. republicans can only afford to lose two votes if they have any hope of passing the bill. defenders of the plan say it spends the same amount as obamacare, but shifts control from the federal government to the states. critics say the bill contains deep cuts to medicaid. pennsylvania senator bob casey fired off a tweet storm about the health care plan overnight saying in one of his tweets quote, the new graham/cassidy bill appears to be just as cruel and as devastating to the families as the previous version, end quote. anthony weiner is heading to jail for almost two years after being sentenced in a sexting scandal. the plea deal puts him in prison for 21 months and he cannot appeal. weiner pleaded guilty to sending obscene messages and images to a 15-year-old girl. he cried not new york city courtroom as the sentence was read.
11:18 am
he had hoped to avoid jail time. weiner must report to prison by november 6th. >> announcer: now your nbc 10 first alert weather. all right. we're starting with a wide view across the region theoryhere. to explain why we've been so warm at the end of september and the beginning of fall and it's all got to do with high pressure that's domed over our area. i can describe high pressure as kind of a bubble that sits in place over us and doesn't let anything in. so we're not talking a cold front that could usher in rain and cooler air. nothing like that getting in. we stay warm and in fact sometimes it almost boils the atmosphere so the temperature starts to rise, so that's what we've been seeing. it's why yesterday we made it to the 90s. now, we are going to see that bubble burst, but not today. we're talking record temperatures, very close for today. 92 is the record in philadelphia. we're forecasting a high of 89. now, that does not mean that while, officially we only hit 89 some spots could hit the low 90s in our philadelphia neighborhoods.
11:19 am
we see this. the spread is usually a couple of degrees around philly. so we are looking at very warm conditions. allentown, the record is 92. 89, the forecast high, as well. look at areas like trenton. yesterday, hit the record. today, just short at 89 degrees. so it's going to be a close call for many locations. now, this is not going to be the case for the next few days. we'll start to see a gradual cooldown as clouds increase ahead of hurricane maria. 84 tuesday, wednesday, in philly. by thursday, down to sl81 degrees. wildwood some spotty showers are possible and same for delaware, more isolated showers possible thanks to some of that moisture moving in from maria. let's talk about the cloud coverage. here's our hour-by-hour model as we go through the rest of our monday. a few spot clouds rolling in. i do not think any rain is going to make it to the ground. as we go into tuesday, washes right over us the cloud th daytime hours and we could see a sprinkle pick up along that southern edge of our viewing area, particularly southern delaware.
11:20 am
as we go into wednesday, still cloudy conditions. look at this this is about lunch lunchtime. some spot showers down along the southern edge as well of our viewing zone. some coastal impacts doing to be felt due to maria, but really too far for many of us to feel much other than the cooldown and the cloud coverage. this is the look at hurricane maria. let's see if we can get it to pop back through. looks like it had a little issue. for 80-mile-per-hour winds right now, the reading shows it's still a category 1 hurricane, although more on the low end. it's moving to the north at about 7:00 miles per hour. and you can see it's parallel to right now parts of georgia. it's going to run to the north here, as we go through your tuesday and your wednesday and start to hook thursday into friday to the right, which means it stays away from us. it's closest call will be near the outer banks of north korea. that is going to bring some rough surf and that high rip current risk as well as some windy conditions to the shore. but, the reason we stay out of the clear here is this. we're going to have big, cool air dip as we go into the late part of the week. and into your weekend.
11:21 am
so temperatures are going to drop down. and it also means that we're looking at more refreshing air rolling in bringing fall into the forecast crisp and cool mornings, low humidity. we'll talk about this coming up in the next half hour. all right, attention, job seekers. the new reason why you may want to apply for a job at target. that's still ahead.
11:24 am
it's estimated that 20 million americans live with some degree of chronic kidney disease and many patients are suffering in silence because of the physical and mental effects of the disease. tonight, they'll get to come together in our area to share their own journeys and get support and encouragement. here to tell us more, lynnette look lukers, and lynnette medley the founder of no more secrets, mind body and secrets. thank you both for being here. the first lynnette, we'll start with you. you founded your organization in memory and honor of your mother.
11:25 am
tell us about that and about her. >> my mother passed away in 2009 from end stage renal kidney failure and she was placed on dialysis for about 5 1/2 years. she started off with diabetes for about 17 years and had a heart attack and as a result she was on dialysis and really struggled the through that process, dealing with a lot of -- struggling with depression struggling with lifestyle changes, as well as not being able to be fit for a suitable match for a kidney. and as a result i started the marian lukers kidney foundation to promote awareness and to help families who are dealing with family members who are on dialysis. >> lynnette medley tell us about tonight's event suffering in silence. and what you want people to learn and take from it. >> well tonight's event is really creating the safe space for people to come in their us a then 'tis truth and talk about a
11:26 am
debilitating disease. and so many people suffer in silence. they deal with the physical and the emotional pains around dealing with a debilitating disease. a lot of times they go into depression and loneliness. so we want people to understand that we are there to support them. to not only support them in telling their story and helping them through their journey, but also giving them resources. resources really to connect them with services that can uplift them in times of loneliness. and also other people who can help them. other people who have been through their experiences. we'll have a panel discussion where people are going to talk about their journey and they can actually help others by sharing a journey and taking them along with them. >> we recently learned that pop star selena gomez had a kidney transplant. she has been very public about her battle with lupus. do you feel like that is going to bring even more awareness to issues with your kidney? >> yes, most definitely. because a lot of times when celebrities start telling their stories, other people say, hey, i don't have to suffer in silence anymore. i can talk about it. because one thing we've learned in our community is that we keep things quiet and silent because
11:27 am
we don't want people to change their misconception of us. if somebody thinks you're sick or there's something wrong with you, it's almost like you lose your superwoman power. that you're not able to do certain things. so this way, by people coming out and talk about it, others will come out and seek the help and support that they need. >> linynnette medley and lynnette lukers thank you so much for being here with us. the suffering in silence event is happening tonight from ku6 30 to 8:00 p.m. at the vine street community center at 6133 vine street in philadelphia. it's a free community event. you can get more information on our website, nbc10.com or on the nbc 10 app. pre-game protests and more reaction. a show of solidarity across the nfl following comments from president trump and the president continues to weigh in on the debate. and the sixers officially announce two new signings ahead. the kardashian connection to one of the teams' new players.

11:31 am
the president versus players. the reaction continues after nfl players took a stand against president trump across the league yesterday. and for many taking a stand involved them taking a knee or even staying in the locker room during the national anthem. president donald trump is not letting go of this weekend's uproar over professional football players protests during the national anthem. this morning, he tweeted the about another sports franchise, being more patriotic. he said so proud of nascar and its supporters and fans. they won't put up with disrespecting our country or our flag. they said it loud and clear. another tweet read the issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race, it is about respect for our country, flag and national anthem. nfl must respect this. teams across the nfl took part
11:32 am
in the anthem protests yesterday. some took a knee linked arms or refused to take the field during the anthem as a sign of support for protesters against social injustice. both the eagles and giants put on displays of unity during the singing of the star spang ldled banner. birds chairman and ceo jeffrey lurie stood with his players. now, there are strong opinions on both sides about the protests. nbc 10's pamela osborne is live at the linc with more of what people are saying there. pam? >> reporter: well erin people that we spoke to said that they could really see both sides of the issue, so the reactions this morning have been mixed. there's one thing that i can tell you for sure and that is the president's remarks on friday, where he referred to athletes who kneel during the national anthem as sobs caught people's eyes and ears. we saw demonstrations throughout the league on sunday. some players kneeled, other teams, including the eagles locked arms and stood side by
11:33 am
side during the national anthem as you said. they have the support of the team's owner. the commissioner of the nfl called the president's comments divisive saying they demonstrated an unfortunate lack of respect for the nfl, the game, and the league's players. we stopped to talk to some people about this issue earlier this morning. here are just a few of their thoughts. >> i always use football and any support, really as something that no matter what race gender, religion people come together and they have a good time. like -- it's kind of upsetting to see that people are treating it that way now. >> i saw something that they were saying something about freedom of speech in your own time and not outside of the nfl, and i thought that was kind of ridiculous. it's not like you're not a person when you're playing a sport or within your own career. that's a little unacceptable to a degree. but also there is that realm of your work that you have to deal with. so it's kind of a struggle in that manner. >> reporter: eagles' safety malcolm jenkins raised his fist during the national anthem
11:34 am
yesterday. he tweeted, these pictures of unity across the league proud of nfl and players advocated free speech liberty, and justice for all. it will be interesting to see if this show of solidarity continues throughout the league on monday night football later this evening. reporting live now at the linc i'm pamela osborne, nbc 10 news. it is feeling more like the end of july than the end of september. another hot day for us across our area. a live look right now at the ben franklin parkway in philadelphia. take your water with you if you're going to climb those "rocky" steps. nbc 10 first alert meteorologist krystal klei here with your forecast. >> it feels a lot more like summer than fall. this is a view over at mt. pocono over camelback mountain and it's just a really beautiful clear blue sky that wave got. just no rain no clouds and temperatures that are totally warmer than average. in fact yesterday, mt. pocono
11:35 am
was one of the spots that saw records met and broken over a few spots throughout the delaware valley. look at the numbers. we're at 81 right now in pottstown, 82 in lancaster. philadelphia, you're the same. northeast philly is at 85 degrees right now. i think some of us will be able to make it to right near those low 90s. 83 in millville and at the atlantic city polina we're at 76 degrees. temperatures through the next few hours, take a look 89 at 2:00 and 87 by 5:00 p.m. this is the forecast high temperature. but like you mentioned a moment ago, some spots in philadelphia neighborhoods, they'll make it into those low 90s once again today. just a reminder the average high today is 75 degrees. now, temperatures will start to cool down in the days to come and we will feel some of the effects of hurricane maria. we'll talk about more about those effects coming up in a moment. there's the look tropical satellite is showing you maria is all the way down south near florida. take that drive to the north, run parallel to the east coast. we'll show you that and talk more about the coastal impacts,

we didn't understand that suicide can happen to anybody. so to me that was something that could happen to somebody else, but not to our family. so i found the american foundation for suicide prevention and started going to survivor meetings where i met other people who had gone through the same trauma. and then i started volunteering with the organization in a publicity capacity. so, it's been great. they've really helped me heal and come to a fragile peace with losing my brother. >> the philadelphia out of the darkness walk is this sunday, so tell us about that. >> we are so excited. it's going to be huge this year. we're expecting over 6,000 walkers. >> wow. >> yes. we bring together a lot of people, from different areas, you know everyone is affected by suicide differently, some people have lost somebody some people have made an attempt themselves. so a lot of different people are coming together for one common purpose, and that's to destigmatize suicide and have

11:51 am
bottom of the board here. we drop into our philadelphia neighborhoods, some of us a little bit warmer than others. graduate hospital is reeding 91. it usually reads a little high which is no surprise when you're surrounded by a lot of building skpgs concrete the reading might be a little bit inflate pdd. i think that even officially at the airport, we do not hit that 90-degree mark. some spots across neighborhoods are going to see those 90s again. and speaking of which, 90-degree days in 2017 we've seen 25 of them, officially. yesterday was the 25th day. some spots tied records, like wilmington, mt. pocono trenton yesterday, for heat. and it is a hot one all across the area. 89, summerton today, as well as chestnut hill. doylestown, you're looking at a high of 88. and 88 in cookstown, as well. upper 80s throughout our new jersey neighborhoods. upper 70s possible at the jersey shore. and then we see temperatures ranging from the upper 80s in wilmington to farther south,
11:52 am
rehoboth beach in the mid-70s later on. so sunshine spotty clouds in the afternoon, that's it. but tuesday, those clouds just start to spread across the board. this is a cloud deck that is ahead of hurricane maria, still setting to our south. an isolated shower is possible on tuesday from the southern edge of our viewing zone. as we go into wednesday, take a look. this is around your wednesday, early afternoon. some spot showers possible along the jersey shore and southern delaware, but most of us are just going to deal with the clouds as the impact from maria. let's look at the potential paths here. it's a category 1 hurricane as of the 11:00 a.m. update with winds 80 miles per hour. it's also now through wednesday, notice it's going to be just to the east of the outer banks of north carolina here but does not make any landfall and starts to hook off to the right. the models are in pretty good agreement of this occurring, because the trough and its associated cold front will move in and that's going to knock it out to sea as it wraps around the bermuda high. that is good news for us. we'll see more subtle impacts. let's look the coastal
11:53 am
impacts. rough seaswinds, gusts 25 to 30 miles per hour. rip current risk is high. beach erosion may occur, although to a lesser degree than what we saw with jose. and like i mentioned with some spot showers. now let's jump to the weekend. that colder air will move in. only 71 saturday and sunday feeling like fall. we'll be a chance of a shower in philly and some of the areas surrounding, just scattered shower a possibility at this point. there's a quick look at your ten-day on 10. mid-80s tuesday and wednesday and there's the drop to those low 70s. we'll be right back.
