temperature starts to drop. this is what we're watching closely. saturday, late in the day, and saturday evening into early on sunday. that's when we're looking at that chance of snow. somebody is going to get a snowstorm, it may not be us, but let's keep a close eye on all of this. and we'll keep you updated on our app and online and rate here. 40 on sunday. 50 on monday with rain and 66 tuesday. look at this. next wednesday, we could be pushing 70 degrees. i call that a weather roller coaster. guys? >> all right. well, a week ago, nick foles was celebrating the eagles' spuper bowl win. >> this week, the birds' quarterback is answering some tough questions on national television. >> are you going to resign with the eagles? >> that's a question that everybody wants to know. >> ellen works to get nick foles to open up. that's straight ahead. and next at 6:00, an nbc 10 exclusive. a man allegedly steals poise orphan a chemical company and then dumps it down a storm drain in montgomery county. what police and water officials
