Northwest of la, crews are digging through a wall of mud and debris up to 12 feet high in cam rio spring, a mud slide engulfed part of this neighborhood that houses mostly senior citizens. Firefighter nick cleary rescued three elderly residents from this home.

Yes, we dealt with a lot of rain, nothing like what theyre seeing out in california, and of course with all of the forest fires, et cetera, theyve had out, there all of the mud it creates whole other set of problems. For us, though, today, only problem might and breeze. That breeze is going to make the temperatures that will be in the lower 40s, feel more like theyre in the 30s most of the day. Right now, they feel like theyre in the 20s, how nice of the weather. Looks real nice with the ben franklin bridge out there this morning. We have 33 degrees, thats the temperature down in the Rehoboth Beach area. On the board walk there, very quiet out this morning, winds out of the west, about 10 miles an hour. Thirtysix out at the airport in philadelphia. We have 33 allentown, 28, colder the farther north we go, of course, 28 degrees in the poconos, but it is not very warm to the south either. Thirtyone down in millville, and 36 degrees in wildwood. And then the wind comes in, and the winds will be a factor all day. Not extreme winds, but enough that youre going to feel colder.

Storm scan3, few breaks in the clouds, there are few other clouds that show up from time to time. But a day generally where it will be bright, it will be comfortable enough, it will be perfect to do whatever you want to do. The west coast, well, theyre finally starting to dry out, just little bit. But that whole system starts to move toward the middle of the country. And thats going to be changing the weather for number of people there. But probably not with the same mudslides that theyre finding out through california. We have temperatures today, that are going to be in the 40s, low fours, we have sky conditions, that i think are acceptable enough, anything is practically acceptable, after how gloomy it was all last week. One or two clouds, around 11 00. Some sunshine, some clouds, the drill is the same over the next couple of days, so expect the sun, the clouds, temperatures that will remain in the 40s, right through tuesday, tuesday might be one of our warmer days at 50 degrees. Lots to do, though, this weekend. So, set your calendars. The meteors, originate from an asteroid, not commit, like the other, the best viewing is going to be tonight, about 8 00, and visible per hour the meteors that could you see in the city, one to two, the conflict with all of the lights makes it more difficult. But if youre in rural areas, 60 to 80 of them an hour. So start watching tonight. And then, we have the eagles and dallas game tomorrow. And tailgate temperatures, about 43 degrees, kick off, 40 degrees, and Fourth Quarter 37 degrees if you are making your plans to head to the game. And then winter begins. No. December the 21st, 6 03. It is not only does winter begin, it is the shortest amount of daylight that we have all year. But we do build from there, thank goodness. Nine hours, 19 minutes, 57 seconds, the average high for the first day every winter is 43 degrees. What a coincidence, it is 43 for our High Temperature today here in philadelphia, 42 at the shore, poconos, 35 degrees, pretty quiet in all locations, but all locations picking up that breeze. Out of the northwest, ten to 15 miles, but more as you head to the shore. 32 degrees for the temperature tonight, partly cloudy, seasonably chilly, and over the next few days, were in the 40s, maybe 50 on tuesday, that seem to be the day at this point where we could see a shower.

Im Stephanie Stahl, cbs3, Eyewitness News. 5 43, we have some incredible video to show you. This is rare weather phenomenon at the grand canyon. Pretty amazing looking, it is a thick sea of clouds, and it is filled up the canyon as you can see, now there is occurs when the clouds are forced down by warm air, and unable to rise, and it only happens a few times a decade. The clouds by the way are expected to gradually clear up in the coming days. Thats amazing, almost looks like snow, carol, i had to look twice, like what is that . Nicole, you know better on that say you know bet here say the words snow to me. Thats right. For snow lovers, i know not good news, but for people who really still have calluses from last winter on their hands from shoveling, it is great news. We are looking at the ben franklin bridge, looks just fine out there this morning, temperature of 30 degrees, far north, broads heads ville, through the poconos, and winds out of the northnorthwest about 9 miles an hour, so obviously that combination will make it feel colder, and in fact we have the same kind of thing going even in the philadelphia area, that we have temperatures that are cold, but there is a slight breeze, and thats making it feel even colder out there. So, temperatures, cold this morning, but Everything Else is pretty quietment storm scan3, if you see a cloud, okay, but if you dont, which many areas are not seeing clouds right now, just enjoy that view of clear sky for a change. Because we have seen so much in the way of clouds and rain over this last week. Looks like weve got much better week coming up. 36 degrees in philadelphia. Thirtyfive in trenton, 32 degrees in wilmington, dover, in the 20s, someplace, and thats in the poconos at 28 degrees. Thirtysix down in wildwood. Our temperatures today will be getting into the 40s, we should be at 46 degrees, this time of the year. We will be probably 42, 43 degrees, but we do start to get warmer, and little deeper into the fours, over the next couple of days. So, tomorrow, you add couple of degrees, by the time we get to monday, this may be optimist took get all the way to 50 degrees, but we will be really really close, so, temperatures warming up and the weather is calming down. Our future weather, remember, last week, stopping it all the time, showing oh, and then it will really rain then, oh, and then too, and then another time. Not so much. This time were looking at sky conditions maybe bring cloud or two and then thats about it, by tuesday, might see rain shower, but that should be the extent of t if you are a skier and do you love snow, and many do, 34 today, 43 degrees monday, so you have good weather to do. That will meteor shower, something to watch tonight, and specially if youre out, outside of the city, you can be seeing from 60 to 80 of the meteors per hour. So, this is really good viewing, and the best viewing starts tonight at about 8 00 tonight. Now, the other thing that were thinking of this weekend, maybe you tailgate. Sunday, 43 degrees, kick off 40 degrees temperature and the Fourth Quarter of 37 degrees. And we also have channukah starting this week, coming up on tuesday, 45 degrees, mostly cloudy, and there is the shower chance on tuesday. And then winter begins. December the 21st, with that, we get very shortest daylight of the entire year, as you probably know, nine hours, 19 minutes, 57 seconds. The average High Temperature on the first day every winter, 43 degrees, now, we do have 43 degrees, and thats coming today. Little bit in advance of winter. And thats in philadelphia, shore, 42, the poconos, 35, it will be breezy at the shore today. So if you are going there it, should be nice looking day, but it will be colder because of the breeze. And in fact it will be colder here in philadelphia, because of the breeze, well see, 43 degrees, feeling more like the 30s, all day. Tonight we are ditchly in the 30s. Easy seven day forecast, not much to talk about. It is temperatures in the 40s, they get little better, as we hit mid week, and otherwise, sun, clouds, and sean of a shower coming up tuesday, nicole.
