we won't have the bracing colds like we did yesterday morning, probably by kick off temperatures rising into the 50's, so mostly cloudy and milder, 52 degrees, that's your kick off temperature, probably make it to the mid 50's outside. ultimate doppler, showing a lot of clouds, but the rain still far off toward our south and west. look at the rain getting organized over the carolinas, then back again along the gulf course, northward over the next 12-24 hours. that will bring the rain and it will also bring the shot at record high temperatures for monday. so, two parts of this warm up. most significant monday. temperatures right now, 41 mount pocono, 38 allentown, 39 pottstown, this is much better, than the teens and 20's, where we started at this time yesterday morning. it is 43 in philadelphia, this is my ideal running weather for the marathon that's, 41 millville, 38 in dover, delaware. your foxcast for today 55 degrees, pretty nice, probably more clouds than sunshine, but overall after the colds stretch we've had, such a nice afternoon. into tonight, though, the

rain arrives t could be heavy at times during the overnight hours. low temperature of only 48 degrees. 70s possible on monday, and then maybe looking at some tricky travels as we head toward the holiday. we'll have all of that still ahead in yourself day force cast. >> lauren? >> thank you, caitlin. happening right now, big morning for the city of brotherly love, thousands every runners pounding the pavement outside. so it is hard to get around, right? >> it is, and so many people, 30,000 people, so we'll have so much more on, that we have people that are out there, running the race right now, including our produce here normally sits over, there so boss lady nicole in this morning, so much more on the marathon in just a moment. but getting to the headlines in the news. >> that's right, off initials camden are investigating overnight fire, firefighters called to the 500 block of mexican i can street just fewer hours ago. luckily no one was hurt. to ferguson, missouri where there were more protests overnight, demonstrators expected the grand jury toy announce their decision on whether to indict the police officer who shot and killed 18 year old michael brown back in august.

ment grand jury continue deliberating tomorrow. and, former dc mayor, marion barry, has died. passed away just after midnight at hospital in washington. he served four terms of mayor of the district of columbia a you may recall he was arrested back in 1990 after being caught on video smoking crack cocaine. barry was 78 years old. people left their final thoughts on social media sites, rest in peace, marion barry, i didn't agree with everything but he tried his best. and another says: marion barry equals mayor for life, never seen so much love for a politician. you will be missed. karen? >> cover story this morning, did you hear about this one? charles manson the convicted mass murderer serving life in prison is engaged to be married. he is 80 years old, his bride to be just 26 years old. her name is star. she's in charge of several websites that talk about his innocence. so many people talking about this case. we've got some of the comments strolling at the bottom of the screen right now. and the story led to this on

foreman son just -- >> that is the big question. why would she be doing this? she said somebody she fell in love with during her teenage years, and has been with him for a long time. what's going on with that? >> well, i don't know, i would love to interview her. but there are so many possibilities. we were fascinated with the dark side of manson, you know, occupies the dock side in our national consciousness. i mean, he was such a monster. and so she might have been attracted to that fact. she might be a basically a thrill seeker, or risk taker. you know, maybe in her personality, maybe she generally -- genuinely believes he is falsely accused, also a possibility, maybe shear's lonely and looking for some kinds after connection. and certainly this is a way to buy herself a ton of fame and, in her case, i think also fortune. >> we really appreciate your time. thank you so much, frank. >> you're welcome. >> we just leave with you this last comment from jason, he

together. having so many that far sudsy stuff at home sounds like great idea. take this tweet from christopher. i will be drink ago beer at thanksgiving dinner next thursday. i don't drink beer often, wine is my booze of choice, most times. so, what kind of beer should you consider? don russell a/k/a joe six pack joins us via skype to help us sort it all out. let's start with this tweet here. we asked actually about thanksgiving, beers and says always some casino of pumpkin all. is pumpkin beer the logical choice? >> it is a logical choice, pumpkin beer i think goes real well with food. unfortunately it is pretty hard to find pumpkin biron the shelves right now. it tends to disappear by halloween, and not whole lot of it out there to be had. so there is a number of other beer choice that is i suggest at thanksgiving time. and i got to tell you, it is a tough pairing to tackle, because you know thanksgiving you have so many different kind of foods to try to match up with, and most of them are sort of heavy. so you want to have a beer

that can cut through it, and i typically tell people choose a says and, docile style beer. goes with everything, like i can recommend one today which is wrapped in a paper and it is a wonderful says and, pairs well with a lot of foods, and also, this is important, it cuts through sort of the fatty necessary of say turkey. so great pairing choice. >> sounds fancy. i'm not a beer drinker so learning a lot here. we also want to address there is billy wrote i just red about beer pairing for thanksgiving. funny thing it is cheaper to get great wine r there affordable beers? >> i think it is the opposite actually. usually the rule of thumb you can't get a decent wine for under $20. and there is a heck of a lot of great beer under 20 bucks out there that i think suffer bit as good as wine.

you know, we're preparing for thanksgiving, also remember, dessert. that's another opportunity to have a great beer, something that also i would suggest is from skyfox, russian stout, perfect pairing for dessert, it is really rich, dark, rosey, i think would pair real well with pumpkin pie. >> okay, joe six pack, we have to ask you this. dog head fish brewery in delaware making scrapple biron twitter colin wrote this is great news or terrible news, i'll get back to you regard lets, congratulations at dog fish beer hashtag scrapple beer. what do you think about that up? >> i think this is like maybe the height of human progress, lauren. scrapple and beer? two of my favorite things in the entire world in one glass? i can't wait to try it. it is only available down at dog fish head rehoboth beach brew public. but i think it sounds like it is worth the trip down there. breakfast for beer. >> over producer air on is a
