Weve got scattered showers over parts of new jersey and delaware, although delaware getting a little bit of a break right now. Then you terms of the rainfall over parts of our north and west neighborhoods through the Lehigh Valley, berks county. On off rain with a better chance of rain north than south. But all of us get a little wet stuff throughout the daytime. You can see why. This is a big system we have heading our way. The frontal system is still well over to the southwest. But whatsrain is pumping our direc this is a warm air flow. So temperatures are going to be mild today. The colder air, the snow you see not going to impact us with thim side of things. But i would not be surprised if because of some of the snow and thunderstorms with this system there are some travel delays. So i would just check with my airline before heading out the door to see how your flights doing. So far in general it looks like our airports are doing all right. Highs for today, 58 degrees in philadelphia, 51 in the Lehigh Valley and about 60 in delaware. So, yeah, thats a seriously mild air push that we are getting from the southwest. Hour by hour model for you shows rain i was talking about. Kind of on and off here. At 2 30 in the afternoon its more scattered showers and then we get another pulse of rain that passes through about 8 00 tonight. Things will start to dry out after 8 00 p. M. Sunday the whole is dry. Mix of clouds and sun out there as we go right on through 7 30 in the evening, not bad for your sunday travel plans or sunday shopping plans. But sunday overnight this is starting at around 8 00, 9 00 p. M. And then going through the overnight hours notice we got a chance of a few flakes falling, not a lot, maybe an inch or two at best on grassy surfaces over the poconos, Lehigh Valley, berks county, its more likely youll see a rain snow mix in the north and west neighborhoods and near the i95 corridor a few flakes could mix in but leaning towards rain. And then rain farther south as well. Now, this is in the early a. M. Hours of your Christmas Day. But notice everythings out of here by 8 00 a. M. So by the time youre waking up, maybe going to see family, the roadways may be slick, but we should be with drier conditions through the day. Christmas eve itself 4 00 overcast 43 degrees, dry still at 6 00 and then by around like i mentioned 8 00 to 10 00 p. M. This is when chances begin for that little rain snow mix though temperatures leaning towards rain at 37 degrees 10 00 p. M. In philadelphia. Now lets go through the christmas planner. 34 degrees, we should have dried out by 6 00 a. M. But it will be breezy, cold and you could run into some slick spots if you are driving north or west of philadelphia. At 10 00 a. M. , 36 degrees, notice we dont really warm up, we stay with the biting cold at 38 degrees through your afternoon. And we will stay cool feeling like the low 20s by 7 00 at night. All right.

Well, gift cards are the most requested holiday gift. In fact, more than half of us will ask for one this year. But you could end up getting zero balance no matter how much money the card is actually supposed to have on it. In this mornings nbc10 responds, Harry Hairston shows us what you need to know before you get scammed. Reporter a trip to mauie started with a little frustration. Patricia had a 100 gift card, a present from her daughter. She pulled it out to pay for dinner one night and the waitress told her the card had no money on it. It was kind of embarrassing actually. It was really embarrassing because, you know, it feels like it was my fault or something when it wasnt. Reporter patricia called the number on the back of the card and was told the card had already been used. So i was really shocked by that. I didnt understand it. So your gift card that you thought was shiny and new is now completely used. Reporter Jill Gonzalez is with wallet hub, a personal finance website. She says patricias gift card was hacked. And heres how the scam works. Hackers sift through racks of gift cards for sale at retailers. They copy down or take pictures of the numbers. They also scratch off a Security Code strip to get that number and replace the strip. The hackers have special software and get an alert when the card is activated. The hackers create a new card with your cards information they use it themselves or sell it. Since this fraudsternos ri k right away, theyre on the move. Reporter we contacted visa and patricia got a new gift card right away. In a statement the company apologized to patricia and said we do all we can to ensure the cards function properly. Patricia was happy to get her money back, but shes leery about using gift cards again. It was really, really a letdown. Honestly, i dont think i will ever purchase gift cards again. Reporter youll likely buy someone a gift card this holiday, so here are some tips to help prevent you and the recipient from getting ripped off. If it looks like the gift cards packaging has been tampered with, dont buy it. Avoid buying cards from Third Party Sellers on websites like ebay. Your safest bet is to buy gift cards online directly from a retailer. And email them to the recipient. And if you receive a gift card, dont activate it until you are ready to use it. All right.

Its a little more steady over our north and west neighborhoods through the suburbs as well as the Lehigh Valley and berks county. And there is a lot more where that comes with. This storm center is still way off to our west. You can see its producing snow for some. Thats not going to impact us today. We will stay on the mild side of this storm system. But i wouldnt be surprised if this does lead to some kind of travel delays, so i would check with my airline before heading out. In philly lets run through the christmas weekend. Warm and wet today.

These are the areas well be watching today. The southwest, central parts of the country, they look pretty good for flights. Lets go through your Holiday Travel. Starting with chicago, 30 degrees today. Tomorrow some snow showers possible and 24 degrees, very cold tomorrow. More so tomorrow you have the colder forecast, some snow showers possible in cincinnati. For pittsburgh look at that, 39 tomorrow, but dry.

C. , rainy today but mild and 60s. Tomorrow 44 but a mix of clouds and sunshine. The poconos 35 tomorrow, and dry today some rain. Wrap it up in new york and boston where today icing is possible in boston so i would say tomorrow much better off if youll be driving that way. Well talk about your christmas weekend forecast locally coming up. Its a fraud, its a fraud, its a fraud coming up this morning, the social media scam that has Oprah Winfrey singing about imposters. Well tell you what to look out for. Plus, snowballs at santa. Its a decades old stereotype that angers eagles fans. How the birds social media team is having a little fun with it ahead of the christmas night game. It wasnt aliens or end of the world, but thats what some people thought when they saw this streak of light in the sky over Southern California last night. So exactly what was it . It was a spacex rocket launch, thats what it was. The reused rocket blasted off from Vandenberg Air force base. It carried ten satellites into orbit. Spacex is planning several more launches to replace satellites by the middle of next year. Well, oprah is known for her list of fafrt things, but whats not on that list is scammers. The tv mogul is warning fans about an imposter. Hi everybody. I just wanted you to know that somebody out there is trying to scam you using my name and my avatar on social media asking for money if you sign up for an o. W. N. Account on instagram. Its a fraud, its a fraud, its a fraud the Oprah Winfrey network says its contacting the social media platforms to have those fake accounts deactivated. Christmas is still two days away, but santa and one of his elves made an early stop in philadelphia. Police officers stopped by the barrett playgrounds Christmas Party in olney yesterday and dropped off gifts for students in the afterschool program. Police and other organizations also donated food for the pre christmas celebration. Let the kids know that they are loved, there are people out there that do care about them. And we want to show them what a family environment is. Organizers say they hope the kids remember the party and carry the spirit of the season with them. Santa also made a stop in north philadelphia. 190 students at Shepherd Elementary School are all on his good list. They got presents yesterday. Old st. Nick wasnt the only guest. Officers from the Philadelphia Police department volunteered to be a part of the special day. Why we are bringing them this moment of joy knowing that this is their only gift, its heartbreaking. This part of the city has seen a growing number of puerto rican residents struggling to make philadelphia their new home after hurricane maria. In bucks county, a holiday tradition is saved thanks to some very talented Philadelphia School kids. The annual Christmas Day reenactment of George Washingtons crossing of the Delaware River had actually been called off because of low water levels. A nonprofit that teaches boat building skills to students is lending the organizer six hand made row boats. They have flat bottoms able to cross under current conditions. Philadelphia sports fans have been getting a bum rap for years. A big example people point to happened nearly 50 years ago. It was december 1968 at franklin field. During the christmas theme halftime show, birds fans pelted santa with countless snowballs. But now the eagles have brought together santa and a snowball to sort of bury the hatchet. Its fine. Honest luly, its fine. Are you sure . Because youre acting kind of dude, were cool. Ive moved on. You know, i didnt even want to get thrown. Okay. Seriously, i was just minding my own business sitting in the bleachers. You literally slammed into my face. You were literally the worst santa ive ever seen. Honestly, surprised they didnt throw you harder. Hopefully theyve put that beef to bed. Meanwhile, lets talk about our holiday forecast. No snow at least today or in the near future, at least we hope not. Meteorologist krystal klei is here with your first alert neighborhood forecast. A lot of rain though this morning, krystal. Thats right. You hope theres no snow if youre one of the lastminute shoppers, myself included, who need to run out today and do a little shopping. Now, no iciness. Temperatures you can see are too warm for that. But you will have to battle the rain, which means we know how this goes, the roads will be slow. Same for those who are traveling today. 39 degrees in the Lehigh Valley. Were at 45 in philly and 44 in south jersey. Dropping to philly neighborhoods were pretty consistent here between 44 and 46 degrees the whole board, parkwood at 45, parkside 44 and you see those mid 40s as well graduate hospital. On radar and satellite across the region we are drier over south jersey and delaware where theres just a few little spotty light showers. And then more of a steady rain over the pennsylvania suburbs, Lehigh Valley, berks county. Zoom in a little closer and pockets of a bit of yellow you see over parts of berks county, thats a steadier rain thats falling. But i dont have any big concerns with this rain. Its just kind of showery annoyance rain throughout the day. You can still get your tasks done. It might just be a slower drive. Now, heres where we do run into some issues. If you are driving somewhere today, traveling to see family, especially north and northeast, the pink you see thats icing thats starting to occur. Thats not a good sign. Harder for driving.

Sabers have the fewest points in the eastern conference. Didnt seem to make a difference in this one. Second period, brian makes a save, rebound go back, take another look. Elliot a complete 360 between the save, he would sp in the first two periods. Third period no score but the sabers cashing in. Its one elliot wants back. Ryan oriley from behind sehow through. Now its 31 buffalo. In the final minute clau clauclaud Claude Giroux sets up and flyers within one. But in the final seconds chance cash. Two empty net goals for buffalo. Flyers fall. Moose gave us every chance possible to be in that game, just to be in that game was pretty lucky. He stood on that head and made some great saves. I dont think were going to win too many games if were playing like that. The eagles had a light walkthrough practice yesterday. Theyve been taking it easy this week. And they are having fun. The birds crookrookies had to up in christmas pa skbra najama perform carols in front of eagles teammates and staff. Lets just say they could have done better.

It was funny, but it was kind of embarrassing because theyre supposed to be representing us as a team and the defense. And theyre supposed to put on a good show for us.
