manpower. >> it would have taken about 300 or so officers out of center city and out of south philly to police the tailgating that would probably be going on in the lots so i know it was inconvenient for some people and i apologize for that. >> reporter: so, how much did yesterday's parade cost? how much will be paid by the eagles? how much by taxpayers? >> i wasn't mayor when the phillies won. i got to figure out what the arrangement was with them but we will have -- we will be transparent and open with the numbers as soon as we have it. >> reporter: the city says they did not have a prior agreement with the eagles on cost sharing on this, that's to be worked out now. as for the numbers and data that the mayor is talking about, he hopes to have that made public sometime in the next week or two. live above the parkway, john rawlins, channel6 "action news." jim. >> thank, you john. at one points today officials said the city had collected 60 tons of trash and by any measure that is a huge job especially when it has to be done quickly.

garbage is a record for any event they've hosted. you can bet when it was all done they found all kinds of things, mostly covered in mud. from your standard can to lawn chairs to much more. >> oh, it was a lot of unique items that we saw here. so, we saw grills, we saw crates, maybe people were standing on them. i don't know. >> reporter: some neighborhoods like spring garden fairmount had cleaning up to do. we saw quite a few piles of trash bags on corners but neighbors we spoke with said they're not surprised. >> trash is kind of gross. i wish they had more trash cans during the celebration but it was a once in a lifetime event and it was really, really great to be here.

skyline. you probably won't be able to see the tops of the buildings tomorrow night into sunday morning because we have a really good setup for some dense fog. what's going on as we head into the weekend, we get a flow out of the southwest. that brings warm moist air but the ground is still pretty cold. it's wet. and what happens, the temperature and the dewpoint will meet. this causes condensation and this is when the clouds will form very close to the ground. that's fog. it could be dense. saturday night into sunday morning and also it's going to be wet. so, traveling during that time could be pretty difficult especially if you're trying to fly into philadelphia or fly out. so, temperatures right now, this is about where we'll be as far as the lows. philadelphia 38 degrees. that's our high today. temperatures little bit on the cool side. allentown 36. wilmington 36. cape may 38. the poconos 24. got some snow showers today. notice the streamline generally out of the southeast. they'll start to shift out of

the south-southwest pulling up some very mild air so temps actually rising overnight. and satellite and radar showing the clouds are in place ahead of a system that will bring us a soaking rain. if you look at it right now, looks kind of piddlely, not a lot happening but moisture is beginning to gather across the gulf of mexico. that will be moving in tomorrow afternoon. so, future tracker showing the morning will be fine. 8 o'clock in the morning we've got lots of clouds, touch of drizzle possible across parts of new jersey, really nothing organized. showers build into the midafternoon around 3 o'clock starting to see showers philadelphia generally areas south and west and then it really fills in saturday night into sunday morning. by midnight, we've got a pretty soaking rain right over i-95, perhaps even a rumble of thunder. continues into saturday morning. and then we begin to taper off the rain from the northwest to the southeast as we head through the day. by 11 o'clock, it's not raining any in the poconos, still around philadelphia and areas to the south and it all tapers off by 3:30 in the

afternoon. so, as far as rainfall, this is a good soaking. looking at one to 2 inches of rain, the heaviest right along the i-95 corridor. and this could cause some flooding problems. a high risk that we'll see some roads and streets flooded. low lying areas and there is a moderate risk of some creeks and streams and even rivers could have some flooding. the ground is frozen. it's really not able to absorb the moisture. so, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, saturday plenty of clouds, dry until late afternoon, 53 degrees the high. sunday morning fog, rain, heavy at times, tapering off late in the day. the high though 61 degrees, very warm. on monday, clouds with some late breaks of sunshine, 48 degrees. we drop down to 42 degrees on tuesday. some showers in the evening and valentine's day on wednesday looking mild, not bright and sunny, though, mostly cloudy, perhaps a touch of rain, 52. thursday bump it up to 58 degrees and friday we drop
