For the First Time Since leaving the campaign and endorsing donald trump, he said even when he was away he was still on the job. Every day i was away i was still the governor, as you saw by me coming back off the trail. That is not the opinion of several newspapers whose ed forral boards called on the governor to resign because of his arrogance and neglect of his job. And the biggest newspaper, the star ledger lost all creditability by endorsing donald trump. I have no intention.

Im nora muchanic, channel 6 action news. Thank you. This has been an extraordinary day on the president ial campaign trail.

He says cruz, or kasich or rubio would be preferable to trump. And trump hark ened back to four years ago. I backed mitt romney, i backed him, you can see how loyal he is, he was begging for my endorsement. I could have said mitt drop to your knees and he would have dropped to his knees.

This is where the thieves got inside of vince and stole thousands of Thrasher Worth of clothing. 15 seconds is all it took for the thiefs to smash the window and get inside and grab as much clothing as possible and leave. It appears they cased the store before pulling off the heist.

The bandits got out with 12,000 in clothing and they want to you take a close look at the suspects and one male has glasses and a fur hood and this is another suspect. All of them fled in a light colored sedan possibly blue in color. I walked past and saw the window broken into and i was like what happened . You usually dont see this around here. But police are seeing it more. Bloomingdales and century 21 were the scene of similar burglaries. Police dont believe the crimes are connected or have a reason for the uptick.

That school bus missing a couple of tires may not sound like a big deal but that changes when you hear how they came off. Bus number 414. Operated with a contractor used by the Philadelphia School system lost two wheels on its way to maritime charter school. When something happens to a bus your heart races a bit. Laura ross, a parent shared these pictures with action news, her eighth grade daughter was on the bus when the tires came off. She is our calm child. She was pretty good but it sounds like when she initially called me they were loud in the background and i thought they were even screaming. But she says everyone was okay. Ross wants to know how this could happen and so do we. The School System losing its tires has never occurred before and philly trans has a good record. They are asking questions. Thank god it was on a side street and not a main street. No students were hurt and Philadelphia School buses are not allowed to travel on major highways with students on board and likely it was not going at a high rate of speed. We want to see the records and history on this bus. How old is this and how many miles and when was service and get a report of what happened.

Bradford signs the extension worth 36 million today. He says he was never tempted by free agency. And bradford is dying for the feeling of playoffs for the first time in his career. What do you think it would mean for you and this city to make the playoffs for the first time for yourself and for these fans to get back into the post season. For me it would mean everything, that is why we play and put some much time in. You grow up dreaming of super bowl and i got a taste of it last year, our fans are passionate and we were talking about this how they may be the most passionate in the nfl and they create a great atmosphere. Reporter yes, they do. And even though eagles coach Doug Peterson was vocal in his desire to bring bradford back, they will still look at quarterbacks in the upcoming nfl draft. You look forward in the draft, if there is a guy there that you can develop and mature and bring along, you have to continue to create depth and competition at your position, its not out of the question obviously but at the same time we have to make sure its the right thing for us. You would not rule out drafting a guy at 13 . I dont know about 13 but if the right guy is at 13, we have to do what is best for the Philadelphia Eagles. Reporter as far as bradford is concerned. He believes his best days are ahead of him and that is good news for the Philadelphia Eagles and because bradford has never won more than seven games in his career.

Well, we could get a little more sunday morning. They we are in the 70s next week. I think we are really running out of time for winter but a little bit of snow on the way. Stormtracker 6 live double scan, actually you see the gray, you know what that is . Its virga snow falling higher in the atmosphere but evaporating before it hits the surface. The action cam out and about, showing us we did have good sunshine today and made it up to 41 degrees 7 degrees below normal and temperatures holding in the 30s and 38 in philadelphia and allentown and trenton and reading 34 and wilmington 36 and wildwood 35 degreed. Satellite 6 along with action radar showing a fragments storm, there is one low pressure across the ohio valley and another one across the Tennessee Valley and the low to the south, this is the one that has all the juice, the heavier precipitation and that will be missing us and well be dealing with the lighter snow, this is when we begin to see snow showers breaking out south of philadelphia as we head through the overnight hours, we will get on and off snow showers, temperatures right around or right below freezing, its very marginal for anything to stick. By 6 00, some snow showers and then as we head into midmorning by 9 00 its shut off north and west of the i95 corridor and snowing in south jersey and delaware and temperatures above freezing. Its all out of here by the afternoon, and by the afternoon sunshine will be reappearing. What are we talking about as far as accumulation, not much at all. Perhaps a slushy coating around philadelphia, we are looking at an inch of snow and south of philadelphia and delaware up to 2 inches. But again this is mainly on the none paved surfaces, the morning rush hour, a good idea to get up early beginning at 4 00 tomorrow morning well have light snow and slick spots and then temperatures rise into the 40s and well melt everything by the evening rush, and the evening rush tomorrow looking pretty good. Really a bigger deal tomorrow afternoon. This low becomes a beast of a storm and the low pressures consolidate and bombs out. This is part of reason that the anthem of the seas returned to port, they are looking at Hurricane Force winds offshore and right along the coast winds tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, 40 to 45 Miles Per Hour gusts. It will become a strong storm but it happened too late to bring us significant snowfall. The exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast we get the light snow in the morning and by the afternoon the snow is back and temperatures rebound into the low 40s and a lot of melting going on. Ahead of the next clipper, 45 degrees and saturday night into sunday morning, a few snow or rain showers again doesnt look to be a big deal, a grassy coating at the most and a high of 48 degrees and behind this temperatured really rebound dramatically, on monday up to 60 degrees and we have not hit 70 yet this year, it looks like we have a potential three times next week. Tuesday beautiful 70 and partly sunny skies and wednesday a touch of spring fever and 72 degrees, and thursday a close call, the possible of showers moving into quickly enough could be in the upper 60s. And this point calling for 70. Well round the corner next week. Thank you.
