weather's playing a big part in this year's super bowl, even though it's in a domed stadium. it's cold enough in minnesota that the ice sculpture they're creating have no fear of melting, but those bitterry cold temperatures are also a part of the reason the super bowl ticket prices falling. so let's break it down by the numbers. after the nfc championship game on sunday, on monday those ticket prices just for one ticket to get into the game was around $5,000. so that was on monday. but these dropped dramatically by today latest check could you get in the door for about $3,000. that's about a 40% drop. and closer look at what we can expect as we go into the next couple couple of days for minnesota, that is our temperatures will continue to drop. by the time the game rolls around next sunday we're tracking daytime highs closer to the single digits. here's the next seven days for you. for the weekend we're going 40

degrees in minneapolis for a daytime highway. then we'll drop down and be between the teens and 20s. but next wednesday we're up to 34 degrees. if we could have held on to those temperatures that would have been perfectly fine if the look at thursday and friday, we see an arctic blast and' than sends our temperatures down to about 10 degrees for a daytime high. overnight lows will be down to 5 below at some point. this is enough to scare off people that want to head to the super bowl and see the eagles live in person. a closer look at our absolutely super bowl forecast. next sunday 6:30 start time. we're talking 9 degrees by halftime, 6 degrees and towards the end of the game only 3 degrees. so as you're celebrating the big eagles win when you head outside it's only going to be 3 degrees. here at home, warmer weather is on the way for the weekend. coming up, glenn's going to have your local forecast. >> thank you. we still have, again, nine days until the super bowl and you've probably heard plenty of hype

watching a front coming down from the northwest. so later saturday night, especially lehigh valley and berks county and the poconos we could see some rain before midnight tomorrow night. but for most of the area, it is after midnight, it's a steady rain for several hours, but the general trend of these models is to have this move through a little bit faster and that limits the amount of rain to see, again, especially north and west. berks county, lehigh valley may not see much rain during the day on sunday. delaware, south jersey will get the most amount of hours. you don't see any yellows or reds in there indicating heavy rain. but by afternoon, while it's dry up to the north and west, it continues to rain farther to the south. okay. that's a sign that something's slowing down out there. and while that slows down, we're watching another system approaching from the west. so here we are monday morning,

nice and dry. and there comes some snow. not a big storm, but it does come through the area and potentially affecting the tuesday morning rush as it quickly moves offshore. so that's something we'll have to keep an eye on these upper air systems sometimes can get pretty tricky. and then the north flow comes in behind it and it really gets cold tuesday and into wednesday. the weekend forecast, still looking the way it has for several days now. saturday the sunniest day, the date without any precipitation. 57 degrees in philadelphia even at the shore 51. now it's sunday, it's cloudy and damp but less rain in the lehigh valley than at the jersey shore and in delaware. so we'll pinpoint more of that

as specific hours coming up. but the overall picture here is for this roller coaster to continue going up over the weekend with the rain, especially in the morning on sunday that lasts into afternoon in southern sections. then we cool down. as you can see, there's the snow, generally light snow on tuesday. another cold day wednesday. and then we warm up again before we cool down again. this trend just is going to continue as we head into the beginning of february. >> oh boy. thank you, glenn. still ahead, targeting the competition, beating out its online rivals. how one of the country's biggest retailers is trying go the extra mile by introducing the ultimate shopping convenience.

pass along here is that parents may not think that they can afford this kind of school, but with a little bit of help, you can. you can make it happen? >> absolutely. and we've seen the difference. >> we've seen it with your family. >> absolutely. i recommend everyone to apply. there's nothing to lose and tons to gain. >> all right. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you. >> we appreciate you. the children's scholarship fund philadelphia is awarding $2,000 scholarships to children from low-income families by random lottery march 1st. it's final deadline for the scholarship lottery for next school year. for more information tap on the nbc 10 app and look for find it on 10. . . >> announcer: now your nbc 10 first alert weather. well, beautiful looking way to end the week, still on the chilly side but then it's the end of january, it's supposed to be pretty cold. 36 in philadelphia and blue sky. you see the blue skies all

across the region. we don't have any significant differences other than in the actual temperature. go to berks county, lehigh valley, the warmer spots hopewell at 37 right now, landon at 36, white hall is 37. nazareth at 32 degrees. as we go through the afternoon, we're going to find a lot of sunshine, temperatures getting into the 40s in much of the area. but not really dropping very much as we go through the night. little bit of a southerly wind preventing that from happening. now we're saturday morning, it's again generally in the 30s. not too bad for a start to the day. southwest wind warms us up into the 50s during the afternoon. still sunshine across much of the area. the clouds are starting to come in to berks and lehigh. and now here comes the rain.

it could reach the berks and lehigh in the poconos before midnight. it would be on the light side and you can see it's nowhere close tony kind of snow or ice. and then by sunday morning much of the area is seeing a steady rain. although it may be ending already in berks and lehigh. you're getting it to come in first, it's going to get out of here first. and a little bit heavier rain farther to the south. watch what happens here, it slows down the progress and so there are more hours of rain in delaware and south jersey than we're expecting north and west. but that moves out eventually by sunday night. by monday, we're starting off with sunshine again and then we're watching this upper air system from the west coming in later monday night and into tuesday. at the moment it's not looking especially heavy but we'll have to see if there's any kind of

intensification as it goes offshore. see a little bit darker blues towards long beach island there and then it really gets cold again on tuesday and into wednesday. over the weekend, we're seeing temperatures way above average. the average is 40. 57 in philadelphia on saturday, a lot of sunshine, and especially in the morning, and no rain. sunday is the wet day, but the fewest hours of rain in lehigh valley, greatest numbers of hours coming up toward the jersey shore. if you're traveling to minnesota it's not going to be that cold this weekend. but by the end of next week that's when the arctic blast comes and we're talking about highs in the single digits and low temperatures reaching about 5 below zero by the time we get to the super bowl itself, single digit temperatures, wind chills below zero.
