Not going to be raining the entire time. There will be some rain each day probably. A huge temperature drop is on the way. And weekend going to be different than what were seeing the rest of the week. Well, we have got cloudy skies now over philadelphia. Citizens bank park there, not playing baseball today. But tomorrow and thursday it is going to be rough out there. 63, cloudy skies, southwest wind keeping things on the warmer side. And were 60 or above everywhere except for the poconos and down toward the shore areas. 62 at Atlantic City airport. That is inland. Stone harbor right near the beach, that is much cooler because the wind coming in off that chilly ocean. Well show you the effect of this. There is the wind direction, right along coastline. You can see it is 52 in beach haven. 51 in avalon in the 60s inland. Now, we have a few showers around the area now, but there is certainly some more activity back to the west little heavier. Not talking about anything severe but there could be a thunderstorm in some parts of the area by this evening. Okay, here is the mild air. But here is the cold air. It is only 41 at boston. 36 in montreal. Normally we wouldnt care because our air doesnt come from there normally. This time it will. And the northeast wind is going to come in we got the south wind now. There is that northeast wind. And where they meet we get extra showers and then here comes that wind pushing the warmer air down as we go into tomorrow. So were potentially into the 70s this afternoon. Then some showers getting a little bit heavier this evening as you can see possibly some thunderstorms, but look how much colder it is getting during the evening. By tomorrow morning, in the 40s, and then it does not go up. If anything the temperature goes down during the day tomorrow. Plus we have wind. Plus we have moisture. That is a nasty combination. Not too many people are going to enjoy the weather for wednesday and thursday. Look at that. Temperature just doesnt move. And then it is down to 39 in pottstown and reading and allentown and doylestown by 7 00 tomorrow night and by thursday morning, were in the 30s.

The new report that could change the recommendations for who gets a mammogram and when. It is a big night for philadelphia politics. Nbc 10 and telemundo 62 are host the first Mayoral Debate for the 2015 election. The six candidates will take the stage inside the Kimmel Center later tonight. They are former d. A. Lynne abraham, former City Solicitor nelson diaz former philadelphia councilman jim kenny and doug oliver former press secretary for philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter former state senator milton street and Pennsylvania State senator Anthony Hardy williams. Here now, the preview of tonights debate is aj raju, a member of the board of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of commerce. Thank you for joining us this morning. Happy to be here vai. Why is it so important for the chamber of commerce to be part of the debate tonight. And what is the payoff for the chamber . I think this city is at a Tipping Point where were a tale of two cities. It looks like baltimore and detroit and for the top 40 , looks like boston for new york. And the conversation about where the new economy is going to go for next 50 years is very important. You have to make sure that the candidates who are running to become our mayor understand the 60 of our citys plight leading in poverty and broken School System and history of corruption. At the same time allow the businesses that are looking to fly high do their thing, which is the 8 billion of construction within walking distance, great arts and culture scene and the Health Care System and, of course the dnc and the papal visit coming is a testament to the fact that a lot of things are happening in philadelphia. And we need a mayor that is responsible to both sides of the equation for philadelphia. Ogeaajay, you mentioned the broken School System. You think funding without raising taxes, the make or break issue of the debate . I think education is one of the key topics for all mayoral candidates to consider. Because, again, you fix education, you have revival in center city you have revival in the suburban neighborhoods you have revival all over philadelphia. Education is an important topic. One topic that should receive a lot of attention and is not receiving as much is poverty. We lead the country in child poverty. Two of the poorest congressional districts within walking distance from center city are located within philadelphia. So poverty and education are probably the two most key issues and, again, chambers role in having the listening tours with road map for growth was intentionally designed to illicit from the neighborhoods the ideas that are most important to our citizens as we carve a new path for philadelphia in the next 50 years. Ajay im trying to keep from having you handicap the field, just because youre a member of the board of the Greater Chamber of commerce but i would like to hear from you what you think and i think our viewers would, who you think has the most to gain and they have the most to lose in tonights debate. I think this will be listen, this will be the first televised debate. It gives all of the candidates an opportunity to present their topics and lay out a vision for the city. I think for if you look at the polling, at this point, lynne abraham, senator williams and jim kenny seem to be leading. At least in the recent polling. For them for the three of them it will be an opportunity, especially to lay out a vision to separate one from the other. And that would be an opportunity, also for our audience members. I think this is a great opportunity for those who are going to be watching. Collectively among the six of them, we have over a century worth of Public Service that these candidates bring to the table. So it is an exciting moment six dedicated Public Servants all looking to carve out a new future for the city. And citizens have to make sure they come out and vote on primary day because one of them most likely just based on the democratic numbers, one of them will most likely run our city for at least the next four years and if history is an indication the next eight years. Not surprisingly the three you mentioned, also probably had the most money and have ads running. One just ran before you came on by Anthony Hardy williams. So this really kind of levels the playing field, these debates, because it allows those who dont have the money, you know, maybe oliver street it to have a chance to speak to their audience right . This is extremely important for thats why i think the most important winner in this is not the candidates as much as the public who is going to be watching getting the opportunity without filter listening to the five candidates and making up their mind on for whom theyre going to cast their vote. And it doesnt matter who they vote for. As long as they come out and vote because i think a low turnout, especially when a city is at a Tipping Point as we are today, would be disastrous. Ajay quickly, i know youve been getting a lot of press. I know this interview, i know, isnt about you, but still, i like to ask you, do you have political ambitions . Do you want to run for mayor some day . I think there are multiple ways to serve. To say something, if you see something, but we have a foundation and a lot of the Public Service that were doing is done through nonprofit and through corporate leadership. No current plans now, but, you know, one never knows what the future holds. I expect you to come here on this show and tell us when you do. Ajay, ra jchlt raju thank you for being with us today. Melissa mayor bailey is the only republican running for mayor. She was a registered democrat before changing her party earlier this year.

Were happy to welcome back sheryl fatabani to the show. We appreciate you coming on. Thank you. We had that gorgeous weather yesterday, of course rain today. How do these changes as well as the pollen count affect our allergies . Well pollen affects our allergies. One of the main reasons that many of us have sniffles and sneezing and the pollen count today is about 6. 5, not too bad. It is going to go up and down with the high of 10. 5 on saturday. Now, im one of those who suffer from allergies. But sometimes hard to tell if you got allergies or cold. What are the signs . How would you know . Well the way they know you have an allergy versus the cold allergies give you runny nose you feel stuffy sneezing itchy watery eyes and usually no fever. So colds are usually they usually come from a virus and viruses will often give you a low grade fever. Thats really the key way to know whether it is an allergy or a cold. What can somebody do to ease some of the symptoms of these seasonal allergys . Well many of the things you can do to ease the symptoms are really common sense measures. So if youre outside, you should really leave your shoes at the front door when you come inside. Leave all that pollen behind on your clothes. Try to close up your house as much as you can, run an air conditioner. Use a hepa filter as well on your hvac system or different units in different rooms. I sometimes go to my car, especially in the summer months when it is warm and i may leave my car window down just at home when i get in and there is pollen all over. We always notice that. I think perhaps im just suggesting here maybe rolling up the windows when at home and not in the car maybe. Absolutely. Keep the windows closed. You see it on your back porch, you touch and see that pollen that is coming off of the trees. Tell us about lets talk about the medications out there. Which ones can help and do you need prescription for all of the medication that is out there . There is a number of Different Things you can use when you have allergies. My one suggestion to everybody is whatever youre suffering with whether it is the runny eyes or the coughing or sneezing treat the symptom. So if you have itchy eyes get eye drops. If you have a runny nose use an antihistamine. One thing i caution my patients against is getting multisymptom relief medications, because there is usually too much medicine in there for what you need. There are many over the counter cough and cold and allergy products you can be using. Cheryl our Nurse Practitioner in we appreciate your time. Thank you for coming on. Appreciate it.

Allentown, 60 degrees. Mount holly, 65 and cloudy. Dover, 64 and partly cloudy. Dover has the best chance of getting up to 70 degrees in our area during the day today. You can see it is generally in the low to mid60s, 52 mount pocono. But up toward new england it is much much colder. And in this case some of that colder air is coming down on the northeast wind. Normally it doesnt, but in this particular weather pattern it will. Just a few showers around now. Light showers, but a little heavier activity back toward pittsburgh. That should be moving in by 6 00 8 00 tonight. And some of that could be on the heavier side with thunderstorms. So there is the warmer air.

The phillies have a couple of games to get through during this period. First of all tomorrow the wind totally opposite what we saw yesterday. This is a northeast wind blowing straight in from center field. That makes it harder to hit a home run. Yesterday, with the southwest wind, made it easier. Look at these temperatures in the low 40s. Yesterday, in the 70s. Thats quite a difference from game one to game two. For today, scattered showers around. Temperatures in the 60s, low 70s. But that southwest wind chance of a thunderstorm early this evening. And then periods of rain and drizzle tomorrow with a high of 48. Some rain and drizzle on thursday with a high of 48. And then we break out up to the 70s with showers and thunderstorms on friday but looks like it moves out of here just in time for the weekend. Weekend is looking really nice.

Chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz is here a big phillies fan look i am. Glad theyre not playing today. Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous for them. Yeah. The weather was. The game wasnt so pretty. Were hoping for a better outcome tomorrow. The weather is going to be way worse as we go from the 70s yesterday to the low 40s during the game tomorrow night. And then look at that wednesday and thursday just miserable weather. Near 70 today with some showers coming in. And then more of a steadier lighter rain tomorrow and thursday, some drizzle at times. Windy and then friday we just jump out of that back into the 70s, with showers and storms. And then it sets us up for a nice weekend, though. I think the pattern will change significantly by the weekend. And people will be much happier by then. Yeah. If you have tickets for the weekend, youre in good luck. I think one of the games is on friday night, i cant remember. So that might be tough. There could be possible thunderstorms for a friday night. But wednesday and thursday i think they may have to play because the rain might not be heavy enough wont be quite cold enough and theyre going to be concerned about storms for friday. Not going to want to be postponing games. Yeah. Thank you very much, glenn. Thank you for watching nbc 10 news at 11 00. Im vai sikahema.
