A vehicle into the median right here and emergency workers off to the side so we can see this accident here. Police on the scene. Not causing a delay.

New jersey governor critz chris wants the state to assume control over atlantic citys finances and decision making. A bill awaiting passage in the legislature would allow the state to negotiate and restructure municipal debt, give it the right to cancel collective bargaining agreements and sell off city assets and land. Atlantic city mayor don guardian says he can live with the plan if it saves the city from bankruptcy. Some municipal unions and residents say they support the mayor and city council. Im in favor of the city council. Our back is against the wall unfortunately. Now we are working to a solution and thats what we needed all along a solution. If state lawmakers approve the bill the resulting state take overwould last five years. Democratic and republican president ial candidates are in the final sprint for the Iowa Caucuses. They take place on monday. Ly. Right around the corner. Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders is taking a short break from the campaign trail today for a white house metering with president obama. Theyll chat at the white house they say with no agenda. Apparently they first talked about getting together for a meeting at a holiday reception in late december. The session comes though just days after president obama heaped praise on sanders main opponent hillary clinton. The president has not endorsed a potential successor though. Donald trump has caused a wrinkle in tomorrows gop president ial debate. The billionaire says will not be participating. Trumps decision seems to resolve around debate moderator megyn kelly of fox news. Trump complained she treated him unfairly when she asked questions about some of his comments about women. Yesterday he said shes a light weight and that shes been toying with him. An abc News Washington post poll says 64 percent of republicans expect trump to be the gop nominee. That is up sharply from his standing back in november. Nationally hes getting 37 percent of support among registered republicans. That does not reflect any bump from sarah palins endorsemen endorsement. Ted cruz and marco rubio are second and third in support among gop voters. Rick williams will be in des moines for the Iowa Caucuses which are on monday. Watch for his reports beginning tomorrow night on action news at 11 00. Rick said he looked at the forecast out there and he said it didnt look that bad. Iowa can get some rough weather. Yes, absolutely. Were actually getting into a pattern where were going get a ridge of High Pressure in the eastern half of the United States and i think the first week of february actually looks fairly mild. Right now its not too bad out there. Take a look. We do have some sprinkles and light showers mainly over south jersey. Now a little bit more has started to filter in over some of the northern and western immediate suburbs. Delaware wear county, montgomery county, philadelphia looks like you could be in and out of a sprinkle. Most of what you see over south jersey is fairly light. Ill go ahead and give you the wide view and well start this baby up and you can see how this pushing off toward the northeast with a little bit of a slide toward the east. Doesnt look like it will be around that much longer. Taking a look outside and we have sky6 penns landing and we are looking at perhaps a little bit of moisture on the road surfaces but with temperatures well above freezing, we are not looking at any frozen precipitation on the roads. 39 degrees up in allentown. 38 in reading. So, even in our cooler suburbs were in the up are 30s. 41 in philadelphia, 40 in wilmington, 42 in millville. These numbers dipping a little bit over the next couple hours and then kind of hovering in the low 40s for most of the day. There again is the rain coming through. You also notice that the clouds are fairly thick but farther out to the west and northwestern pennsylvania, thinning out of the clouds is occurring and we think that thinning will get here. Well return to at least some sun in the picture before were done today. In the Lehigh Valley 43 is your high. Not too bad temperaturewise and not all that windy today. Winds running about seven to 14 Miles Per Hour. Little bit breezy but not bad. Down the shore 46 degrees, clouds, some sun, not too windy there as well and in philadelphia, that seven to 14 Miles Per Hour wind we talk about, clouds, some sun possible and 43 degrees is your forecast high. A few degrees above average. As we roll through the day, 38 by 8 oclock, 39 by 10 oclock, 40 by noon and we may still be up around 43 by 3 oclock. Its also possible we hit that a little bit earlier in the afternoon then see temperatures slide a bit but with light winds and some sun returning no matter where the high hits its going to feel pretty similar through the afternoon. Overnight then mainly clear and colder air is going to rush back into the picture at least temporarily. Tonight well go all the way down to 20. The winds will be light. Some suburbs in the teens and tomorrow we only bounce back to 39. Good news here is that a coastal low Pressure Center now does look like its going to be far enough off the coast where we wont have to worry about any of that precipitation thursday night into friday. Your sevenday from accuweather, todays high 43 degrees, clouds, some sun, not bad. Tomorrow a little cooler, 39 degrees. But then lots of clouds on friday and inching back up to 41 degrees. And then on saturday partly sunny and 40. But starting sunday we start to get a southerly flow and we really start to tap into some milder airport. Suns high is 47. There will be some rain around monday but a high of 50. And then 52 by tuesday and guys, by wednesday we could actually be pushing up toward the mid50s. So, if we havent melted all that snow by this weekend we probably will pretty quickly next week. Thanks, david. 5 10.

Com. Okay and im erin ohearn at the big board. The studio is showing 137 shots into a car. That car had two unarmed people inside and thats the situation that led to the firings of six cleveland Police Officers. Six others were suspended for the deadly shooting that happened in 2012. Now the head of the police union is calling the firing of the Police Officers unbelievable, unpress dent and politically motivated. The incident started with a high speed chase involving 62 police cars for more than 20 miles. The chase was sparked by a back firing car in which officers mistakenly thought the suspects seen there were shooting at them. Although the two People Killed were unarmed, police say, though, they were high on crack cocaine, marijuana and that Police Responded to the situation within their training. Thats what the union says but the Police Department said also internal investigation was thorough. It was obvious that a rush to judgment was the worst possible way to handle an incident this complex. One of those officers who was fired was put on trial for man slaughter. He was acquitted in may.
