he hit the freezing point but the point chill was awful in the teens and 20s. we didn't pick up any snow. the highest wind gust 29 miles an hour. this morning the low was 27 in philadelphia and 13, 25 in wilmington and atlantic city and almost the same temperatures at this hour, maybe off by one asa 20 in millville and in redding looking at 22 degrees. for the remainder of the evening, our trend is going to kind of be steady. we may drop a degree or two and we'll start to climb and again, tomorrow we'll be warmer than today. upper 30s to low 40s. we will see cloud cover, though. there isn't anything going on as far as snow in our area but a substantial winter storm system, it's actually a three-part system is headed our way. take a look at all the watches and warnings already across much of the country and these are just going to continue eastward. now, the good news is it's going to cruise by just to our north so this is going to be a problem

more for new york. here comes the second one just to the north. we get rain and finally there is a third one and it stays to the north and we have rain. we'll be into a wet period but also warmer and we're not going to be shoveling a lot of snow. so again, just a quick little burst of snow for the poke knows. we're cloudy tomorrow and saturday winds to the south kicking us into the 50s. here comes that rain late in the afternoon. it continues on and off through the night into sunday. by the tyime we get to sunday i the evening, we're pushing the mid and upper 50s on sunday. yeah, it is going to be a bit on the soggy side. here is a look at the ten day. 39 for tomorrow. maybe that quick little snow shower. 54 on saturday with rain, 55 on sunday with rain. that saturday rain by the way comes in the afternoon. 46 on monday. now we'll see maybe an early morning wintery mix on tuesday, maybe a brief shower at night.

right now i've pulled the rain out of valentine's day. we'll have to watch closely. the rain returns next thursday and friday, jackelyn. up next, have you ever lost your phone on one of the biggest days of your life? that's what happened to one of the eagles. we'll show you how the fans got the phone back to him, next.

eagles' cornerback sydney jones lost his cell phone today but took a team effort and social media post to get it back in his pocket. he was walking along the parade route when his phone fell but some fans noticed it and grabbed it right off the street. and they did they took a group photo and

posted on sydney's account sayi sayi saying guess who dropped their phone at the parade? jones tweeted a thank you when he got his phone back. our parade coverage is just getting started tonight. john clarks clark takes you on with the eagles. you're watching nbc 10, your official eagles station. [narrator] look around.

if our world isn't stuck in the past, why is higher education? we say, if there's a better path, you should take it. and when there isn't, well, you know where i'm going with that. don't do things by the book if the book can't keep up. take your page from one that hasn't been written. we took two renowned universities, including a premiere medical school, and created a single university that defies convention. at jefferson, we're making modern look old and making old look new and making sure new is not enough.

we're adding more weight to your degrees and more meaning to your careers, going where others wouldn't dare, making connections few think to make, and setting tomorrow's standards by breaking today's, because we believe the lines that are drawn are meant to be crossed. that's where the future is born. and once you realize you're not limited to what's possible, guess what? you redefine all that will be.

well, fans lined the streets to watch today's parade, nobody had a more incredible view than nbc sports philadelphia john clark. he got exclusive access with the players on one of the buses. the eagles told john they never seen anything like this before.

>> reporter: philly, it was an epic legendary parade for the ages. the first super bowl parade drew millions. birds, players and coaches were overwhelmed, so impressed with the amount of people that came out to thank them and celebrate this city's first super bowl and we were on the buses and players as they went through millions of eagles' fans, take a look and listen. >> i don't know if you can imagine this. doing it in this city is something that's really special. here it is. >> reporter: you were knocking on the door with andy reid. is it gratifying and special to go through tough times ask s a close and get it now? >> yeah, to finally be able to win the super bowl championship is just -- i'm speechless. >> why can't we as the

philadelphia eagles go back to the super bowl? why can't we have more than one opportunity? we're just so excited to bring the first one here and hope for many more. >> you heard the players and coaches say we want to do this again. it is a new norm they want to be back in the super bowl and win another one next year. at the art museum, john clark, nbc sports philadelphia. >> that would be amazing. john, ali live look at the ben franklin. we're right back. [narrator] look around.

if our world isn't stuck in the past, why is higher education? we say, if there's a better path, you should take it. and when there isn't, well, you know where i'm going with that. don't do things by the book if the book can't keep up.
