right. except the last couple of days have been spectacular. today though, she's right we have another dreary daze coming in with you boy it is mild out there. we have a 43-degree temperature. this is

there are some crowd there. we'd like to see some sun, the the clouds are having an impact on just how much sun we were able to see at this point, cape may courthouse is the same story, we have cloud pushing down on the sun and it will rise any way but included will be in front of it. 45 degrees, that is temperature right new wind are remaining light and out of the southwest at 7 miles an hour bringing up a air from a pretty mild direction. the that is why another mild day, very mild start yesterday morning as you may remember if you were up early enough we had from his on the windshield. temperatures in the 20's in a lot of locations. we have add add lieutenant to the temperatures first thing this morning. in fact, everybody is in the 40's. one in the 50's. 50 degrees in wildwood. comfortable start to the day we have seen a couple of showers out there and storm scan three is showing where they are and you can see they have moved on through, we have got maybe a lull, and maybe another little batches specially later on this afternoon. i think the batch this afternoon, primarily is going to be for areas, of philadelphia and points south. we're in the looking at a lot of rain out of this but it is just not the the same kind of day that it was yesterday. but still it is pretty easy to take today. the front will be coming through. this is going to change these temperatures. the the the last day of temperatures in the 50's the the warmest day that we will fine from here, until the very end of the year on wednesday. a few showers out there otherwise, not that much in the way of weather. so things could be worse as we all know in the wintertime and a lot harder to get around. future weather it is in the great, with some of the placement of this but we will at least pick up something. and then it is saying that by the time we get to 3:00 this afternoon after a lull in some of the action, we will pick up some more light showers maybe through philadelphia, wilmington, points to the south, we will see this again maybe at 5:00 o'clock. we will find it again even further south possibly by the time we hit midnight. first thing tomorrow morning maybe you will still see some showers scattered around but notice that the clearing would like to start to come in here, this is tomorrow's weather and then clears out of here and it looks like monday now will be pretty nice. we have had thought could there be some kind of a wet weather even on monday? it looks like that chance a has gone out to sea. we're not dealing with that. we've got dry weather coming up for the next couple of days. after we get rid of these pesky showers today, the few that we will see scattered around. 51 degrees in philadelphia. fifty at the shore. poconos 45 degrees. any of your scattered showers should be ending this morning and then drying out this. i think they will stay around longer along the shore areas. otherwise, our wind, they are not going to be a problem today, but the temperatures might be for you on new years eve. 28 degrees. we have certainly seen the weather change and we are going to continue to watch this change but today, kind of a transition day, getting us ready for things not being as ideal as they were yesterday 567891. wind west at five to 10 miles an hour. tonight we will drop down to 38 degrees cloud, maybe an evening shower in one or two spots especially to the south. otherwise, it looks like mess everybody tomorrow ending up at least partly sunny, 45 degrees. tuesday is chillier though at 35 degrees, mostly cloudy wednesday, last day of the year 35, first day of the new one, 38 degrees, same deal on friday, and then on saturday maybe we will see some rain showers, around here. nicole? >> all right carol thanks. 7:49. lets

at the flags on top of the aramark building. they're barely moving. we'll see light wind speeds throughout most of today but we are tracking showers as we head into the rest of your sunday. so mild conditions will stick around which is nice if you like temperatures a bit warmer. we'll stay ten degrees above average. winter-like conditions heading into next week. it's definitely going to feel like winter finally. we've seen a break from those cold conditions, but they are back. a current look at our temperatures in philadelphia. 43 degrees with light rain coming down at the airport. humidity at 82%. wind speeds out of the west at six miles per hour. we are dealing with the windchill, so it feels like temperatures are closer to the high 30s, but 42 degrees with rain coming down in reading. rain for philadelphia. and 47 degrees in atlantic city with mostly cloudy skies. here's a closer look where some of the heaviest and steadiest rain is closer to allentown, just to the north of norristown and just outside of reading. we'll continue to see this moisture heading in. and even into the afternoon and evening. so this is on and off spotty showers. not a whole lot of rainfall expected. maybe a quarter of an inch for us today but you can see all the moisture moving in ahead of a cold front that is going to drop our temperatures. so here's how your day is going to progress. again, spotty showers expected to continue. by 5:00 p.m. we'll see steady rainfall moving into parts of dover, atlantic city cumberland, salem counties, and then heading into our overnight hours. the lingering showers are mainly going to be for atlantic city. all points south. same thing for dover. then the cold air will start to move in throughout monday and into tuesday. so we'll continue to see our temperatures dropping down. this is one of our last mild days. our average for this time of year, 42 degrees. 50 for today. but then we drop down heading into monday 46 degrees and that's just the beginning of our temperatures, which will continue to decrease. 48 to 52 degrees. spotty showers. that's the forecast for today. as we head into the rest of your workweek, as you head back to work on monday, mid 40s, close to average, but then we drop below average tuesday, wednesday. so a very cold new year's eve on tap. freezing, in fact. temperatures overnight on wednesday night dropping into

of thousands of people. in the years since, the region has been developing an early warning system to protect lives in a future disaster. nbc's kayty tur has the story. >> reporter: when that wall of water came crashing through years ago, the world was stunned. no one has ever seen anything like it. no one has come close to predicting it, and with no warning system hundreds of thousands paid with their lives. >> it was literally a big shock to the international community about the potential for destructive forces of earthquakes and tsunamis. >> reporter: fast forward to 2014 to the jakarta tsunami early warning system. >> detected earthquake. >> reporter: where they monitor one of the most active fault lines on earth. the same one that ruptured in 2004. earthquake pings come almost hourly. staff have just five minutes to detect a shake and its strength from the ocean floor, determining if there's any change in water height from buoys, where and when a wave would hit, and then send out a warning via local agencies, tv radio, and text. if you had a system like this you could save you think at least half of the people that died in the tsunami? >> yeah. >> reporter: in the ten years since the sumatra quake, the systems have been repeatedly tested and evacuation drills practiced. but it could be better. indonesia has three wave detection buoys. it wants 25. and as of now, there are none in the banda sea. >> do you have the right buoy in a spot that we think is capable of generating a tsunami, and does it work. >> oh, my god! >> ultimately, though, it's what's called the final mile that may be the most worrisome. specifically getting people to remember that their world can change in an instant. >> that was nbc's katy tur reporting. experts are also hoping to instill generational knowledge in the people in the region. on one island that was very close to the epicenter of the quake, almost everybody survived and that's because they knew from previous experience to get to higher ground when the ocean started to recede before the tsunami. two years later, people are still dealing with the aftermath of hurricane sandy. a federal judge in new york has ordered insurance companies to produce thousands of additional records related to the super storm. it comes after 1,500 homeowners say some engineering firms hired to inspect damage issued bogus reports. lawyers claim that the reports gave insurance companies a reason to deny the claims, but the insurance companies say they were processing the claims on behalf of fema and that none of their money was at stake. business is booming at some colorado ski resorts and it's not really because of the weather or the skiing. it's the marijuana. however, not everyone is buying it. this is nbc 10

is going to be a cloudy day. that sunshine that we saw yesterday, not really happening today. however, we will warm again into the 50s. in colorado, 2014 was the year of the marijuana as the state legalized recreational pot sales. it means big business for many of colorado's famed ski towns, but the resorts are handling the new industry in very different ways. in aspen, for example, marijuana shops are just steps from high end boutiques like gucci, prada, and ralph lauren. officials say it's a way to target tourists, but in another popular spot breckenridge they are taking a very different approach. the town voted to kick the dispensaries off main street. those pot shops moved miles away, away from all the foot traffic and that's angered some shop owners. >> you don't have to like it. you don't have to use it. you don't have to sell it. but marijuana is part of this culture right now and you do have to accept it. >> the studies show in the colorado mountain resort 90% of marijuana sales are to out of state visitor. the time right now 6:25. a massive sea search is under way for a plane that went off the radar less than an hour into the flight. nbc 10's matt delucia is following

enforcement from pennsylvania new jersey and delaware, gave a final salute to one of the two nypd officers killed in the ambush in brooklyn. a gunman shot officer rafael ramos and his partner wenjian liu while they sat in their patrol car on december 20th. the gunman whom police say was seriously troubled, then killed himself. yesterday, beat cops, park rangers, jail guards, and state troopers from coast to coast gathered at a church in queens, new york, for ramos's funeral. his flag-draped casket was carried past a sea of salutes. tributes continued inside the church for more than an hour. they began with vice president joe biden. >> to the ramos family we are all lucky to have rafael. he didn't just have a bible in his locker he lived it in his heart. he was a cop for all, all the right reasons. >> after the service, the family members of officer ramos and his partner were there to help carry the casket out of the church. some nypd officers watching the service on a big screen outside the funeral turned their backs to mayor bill de blasio when he was speaking inside. police union officials say the mayor contributed to a climate of mistrust toward law enforcement during those recent anti-police protests. a spokesman for de blasio says the mayor's only focus right now is to unify the city and to honor the lives of those two police officers. both ramos and liu have been posthumously promoted to first grade detective. the funeral for liu will be next saturday in brooklyn. while thousands were honoring rafael ramos in new york, in philadelphia protesters organized

don't have passion for victims. but it just means we have to guard ourselves sometimes. >> brandon brown's family is planning a march for justice in the city's frankfurt neighborhood on tuesday. this week parents will be scrambling now that their school has suddenly closed. this weekend, the families received letters telling them that walter palmer charter school will permanently close on december

found that the charter was collecting money from the district for too many students. as a result at that time the charter's high school closed. the parents of the remaining students in the elementary school are frustrated now that the charter is completely closing. >> i feel defeated. like what am i going to do? and how is this going to affect them? >> a school district spokesperson tells nbc 10

delucia has been following developments all morning long and is live in the digital operation center. at this point, unfortunately, no real leads for the searchers out there. >> that is correct, rosemary. i've just learned that the search by air has been suspended but some ships are still in the water looking for this plane, and the 162 people onboard. what we know right now is that airasia flight a-501 was about halfway to its destination when a pilot asked to change course because of bad weather. indonesian transportation official said this morning that the pilot asked to avoid clouds by turning left and going higher to 34,000 feet. that was the last communication before the air bus a-320 disappeared from radar. that was about 42 minutes into the flight. we also know that there was no distress signal that was coming from that plane. aviation analyst julian bray says the weather radar was showing violent thunderstorms across the route at the time. >> any extreme weather condition is a threat and the pilot has to work out whether he's actually going to take the aircraft up. he at the end of the day has the final say as to whether it will fly, but surely he's consulted all the maps he's been given the advice he's been given the weather information. they know where the storms are. >> relatives of those onboard meanwhile have been gathering at an airport, waiting for updates. more than 200 rescuers had been dispatched to look for the plane and its passengers. again, the air search has been suspended, as it is about 9:00 p.m. in that region. but some crews do remain on the water at this hour. live in the digital operations center, i'm matt delucia, "nbc 10 news". >> we'll check back for updates. the disappearance of this airasia plane comes just ten months after a malaysia airlines jet disappeared. investigators have found no wreckage in that case but officials think the jet crashed somewhere in the indian ocean. some call the disappearance of that malaysia flight one of modern aviation's most perplexing mysteries. now to another developing story. ships and helicopters are taking part in a rescue at sea, happening off the greek island of corfu. a fire on a ferry near the island stranded nearly 500 people overnight. the greek coast guard says crews have rescued about 150 of those passengers, and at this point, there are no reports of any injuries. here are some new photos from the scene. they just came into our newsroom. the ferry was headed for italy when the fire broke out on a car deck. some of the ships trying to help the passengers have run

helped to carry the casket out of the church. some nypd officers watching the service on a big screen just outside the church turned their backs on mayor bill de blasio as he was speaking. police union officials say the mayor has contributed to a climate of mistrust toward law enforcement during the recent anti-police protests. a spokesperson for de blasio says the mayor's only focus right now

sea, looking for any sign of the missing jet. the plane took off from indonesia's surabaya airport and was on its way to singapore. nbc 10's matt delucia is following this morning's developments. he's live in the digital operations center for us. we understand we're now hearing from the airline's ceo? >> i've been keeping my eye on the twitter account for airasia's founder and ceo. he says right now the top priority is looking after the crew and passengers' next of kin. we do have a live picture that we've been monitoring here all morning. this is the singapore airport. this is where families have been gathering all night and all morning, waiting for updates from authorities. many of them in the video that i've been seeing this morning, they're very emotional and concerned about their loved ones, of course. here's what we know at this hour. airasia flight 8501 was about halfway to its destination in singapore when the pilot was apparently worried about bad weather. he asked air traffic control to change course and avoid clouds by turning left and going higher to 34,000 feet. that was the last communication before the air bus a-320 disappeared from radar. this was about 42 minutes into the flight and that was more than 12 hours ago. now, rescue teams, they searched for several hours overnight, and now aviation analysts are weighing in about the emergency response. >> the airlines and the authorities are acting properly. they've set up emergency centers. they've set up an emergency telephone line. and i think they've learned from the previous incidents and they are being very quick with information to the media and to passengers. >> again, 162 people onboard that flight. the airasia ceo is asking his staff to "pray hard", adding that this is his worst nightmare. again, right now no sign of airasia flight 8501. it disappeared about 7:30 last night our time. i'll be keeping my eye on the satellite feeds and the live pictures as they come in. for now, we're live in the digital operations center, i'm matt delucia, nbc 10 news. thanks for that update, matt. the disappearance of the airasia plane comes just ten months after a malaysia airlines jet disappeared. investigators have found no wreckage in that case but they think it crashed somewhere in the indian ocean. some call that disappearance of the jet one of modern aviation's most perplexing mysteries. now to another developing story overseas. crews on ships and helicopters are working right now to rescue nearly 500 people stranded on a ferry that caught fire off the greek island of corfu. the greek coast guard says they've rescued about 150 people, and at this point, at least not yet, no reports of any injuries. here are some photos from the scene, just into nbc 10. the ferry was headed for italy when the fire broke out on the car deck. the ship'ss have had a little trouble getting to the scene. as you can see from these pictures, the weather out there does not look great. we are going to continue to follow this story. as soon as we get any updates, we will share them with you. back in the u.s. this weekend, members of law enforcement from pennsylvania new jersey and delaware joined

this is what law enforcement is about. it's about family brotherhood sisterhood. >> it really hits close to home. when you hear an officer has lost his life. >> after the service, the body of officer ramos was carried out of the church with family members of his slain partner standing by. some of nypd's officers watching on a big screen outside the funeral turned their backs to mayor bill de blasio. they say the mayor has contributed toward a climate of mistrust. inside the service, though, deblastde de blasio was greeted warmly. >> all of this city is grieving and grieving for so many reasons, but the most personal is that we've lost such a good man. >> both ramos and liu have been posthumously promoted to first-grade detective. the funeral for liu will be next weekend on saturday

national average price of a gallon of regular is just $2.31, and in 27 states prices at some stations have dipped below $2 a gallon. analysts say a major reason for this is that saudi arabia is flooding the market with oil, hoping to drive out competitors, including the u.s. >> saudi arabia is trying to undermine the u.s. shale oil production at the same time it's undermining iran and russia due to the violence we're seeing in the middle east. >> while u.s. oil production is booming, the highest in 20 years, our gas consumption has actually dropped to 40-year lows. as soon as i drove into work my gaslight went on. i've got to get some gas. in philadelphia we are paying about $2.60. so we're a little bit above the national average. delaware it's a little bit closer. and in south jersey
