Plenty of rain there and across the rest of the area. We have a blood watch in effect into tomorrow for much of the region. Not only the heavy rain but also the snow melt that weve seen over the last week or so. And if we had had this a week ago, well, it would definitely be much more serious as you can see. We have had rain covering much of the area for much of the day. And the flood watch continues across the entire region. Were having a little trouble with the computer. Trying to it appears frozen at the moment. Can we go over to max 3 and see the radar here . Max 3. Showing radar over the last several hours. And what you nonotice everythin moving from southwest to northeast. And its not making much progress moving down toward the southeast. So it just keeps raining over the same areas. Now, fortunately, we dont have as much rain falling thats heavy as we did earlier in the day. That would have made this a lot more serious. Because you can see, its moving in this same direction southwest to northeast along what we call like a train track. We call it training. And everything is set up right in this direction and you can get hour after hour after hour of rainfall like that. Combination of the snow melt, plus this, plus all of the high humidity is creating this issue. Now, were not talking about major flooding on any of the rivers or creeks but we are showing the potential for flooding rains. That goes into tomorrow because were seeing some of the rivers go up, even after the rain is over. So we have that heavy rain along with the melting snow and the rivers and creeks and the streets. It starts with streets, then creeks go up and then the rivers finally. Now, calculation show that its possible that the schuylkill river, right near kelly drive, could go high enough tomorrow morning at 7 00 a. M. To cause it to flood a little bit. And that would shut the potentially shut down kelly drive for part of the morning rush. S that one thing well be following through the night. Down 54 in philadelphia now. 60 in northeast philly. 61 mt. Holly. Weve gotten up to 62 in philadelphia. This is an area where the most concern is, areas in the blue especially dark blue with greatest amount of snow still on the ground. Weve got to melt that snow. Its got water in it. And that adds just like that much more rain that is falling. And even with the snow gone, in the philadelphia area, over the last week, theres been more and more moisture going into the ground and seeping into the creeks and rivers. An example of what the projections are for kelly drive by tomorrow morning. Now it goes above this line, kelly drive flooded and closed between north ferry and falls bridge. So its not quite into flood stage. Not flooding anybodys house but that could be enough to shut it down to traffic. And thats near 7 00 a. M. Heres the futurecast, and theres that band of rain, in this case, its heavier than it really is right now. Continuing to move toward the southeast as we go through the evening. This is going to be a slow process, take hours before it moves to the coastline and we have some lingering showers behind. Lets go to the forecast. Well call for rain to continue for much of the night tonight, some of it on the heavy side. And then drier weather for tomorrow. But its still going to be relatively mild with a high near 50. Well have the rest of the sevenday forecast later. There it is. We have another system for early friday, could be a wintry mix, even snow toward the shore. Saturday and sunday look good. Nice weekend. And then we have a chance of a coastal storm developing by tuesday producing some snow. So thats another thing that weve got to be watching. All right.

The District Attorney who charged cosby with sex assault is trying to convince the judge to let it go to trial but kos cosbys lawyers arguing charges should be thrown out. The issue, whether cosby promised immunity deal. Constands lawyer testified in court today. Deanna durante continues Team Coverage with the latest development from the courtroom. Reporter constands lawyer not only told the court that no immunity deal existed. She didnt want one. She wouldnt want bill cosby to be able to take the fifth or avoid doing that. She says if that happened, when the case went to court, the only testimony the court would have heard would have been her clients a major win, which is why she never signed off on any immunity deal. Reporter the battle continues between the two sides, bill cosbys defense lawyers continue to try and paint a picture he could never be prosecuted for crimes relating to former temple employee dre kra c Andrea Constand. Today, cosbys personal attorney testified he felt cosby had immunity. He was told that by cosbys former criminal defense attorney but no writings exist. Prosecutors call constands civil to civil attorney. She used stern words for the former District Attorney who declined to charge cosby. He slandered the victim in asking the judge to deny the motion to toss the case, kevin steele said a secret agreement that permits a wealthy defendant to buy his way out of a criminal case is not right. That is not a commonwealth and prosecution standard. She also testified that when were beginning to look at case again, it was only four days after the cosby deposition had been made public. She says that the District Attorney, at the time running for the position, kevin steele came to visit her in her office in chester county, wanted to know if constand would agree to participate in the case was reopened and she says she also turned over the civil case file when prosecutors asked for it. Deanna durante, nbc 10 news. No decision yet. Help us understand whats happening inside the courtroom, bring in our nbc 10 news legal expert. No matter how the judge rules, you cant help but wonder if this is a game changer for future cases like this. It definitely will. The judge himself said theres no case on point that covers this scenario. I would tell you, this is probably known as the cosby rule. No matter what happens, well all know Going Forward what can take place between a District Attorney and another attorney as far as what you can rely on, as far as verbal agreements to prosecutor or not prosecute. Probably taken in to appeals no matter what happens. No matter what, this is going to be very interesting making new law Going Forward. So, whats your take on whether an oral agreement is enforceab enforceable. An oral agreement is enforceable but you need partial performance. Cosby had done nothing after being assured he wasnt going be prosecuted, you can argue he didnt rely on anything and he should be able to be prosecuted. How far you have partial performance. He did what caster wanted him to do which was testify. He so he testified. There was performance. Therefore the oral agreement should be upheld as far as im concerned. Youre thinking on the defense meeting its burden, thats how the judge ruled . There regardless of what happens this case will be tied up in appeals for the foreseeable future. I believe there is performance, he relied on and did what caster wanted cosby to do based on the oral agreement. I believe this oral agreement should be enforceable in this particular circumstance.
