His lawyers are fighting to limit the number of accusers who can testify at his Sexual Assault trial. Action News ReporterKatherine Scott is live now outside that courthouse in norristown. Shes going run down the details. Good morning, katherine. Reporter good morning, tam, thats right, bill cosby is expected back here today for another pretrial hearing. This one focuses on whether the prosecution can call 13 other accusers to testify at trial. This is a big issue for both sides and we expect a battle. This trial scheduled for the spring is for charge that is bill cosby sexually assaulted former Temple University employee Andrea Constand at his cheltenham home in 2004. Prosecutors want to call 13 other women to testify in an effort to show cosby had a pattern of drugging and molesting women from the 70s to the 90s. Some of the women are set to have only known him for a few days. Others had ongoing relationships with cosby. District attorney kevin steele argues the 13 womens stories are reel advance because they establish a common scheme or plan. But the defense is crying foul saying the commonwealth is trying to bolster their weak case. Cosbys lawyers will try keep the women off the witness stand attack the relevance to the case and their credibility. The defense had wanted to question the women in person but the judge didnt allow it. The judge already ruled cosbys deposition testimony can be used at trial where he talks about his affairs including the night with constand and giving quaaludes to women he wanted to have sex with. Now the question remains, if these accusers can testify. His hearing is scheduled for 9 00 a. M. Its expected to last today and tomorrow.

Clouds are starting to get thicker and win out overall today. 36 in philadelphia, 34 in wilmington and trenton below freezing in Allentown Lancaster and millville and still at about 40 in cape may. Winds are fairly light this morning. There you see the clouds gathering in the overnight hours. We might see some sunny breaks in the first part of the day but generally speaking were looking at those clouds getting thicker as we roll through it. Lehigh valleys forecast increasing clouds and chilly today. Down right cold in fact with a high of just 39 degrees. Not a lot of gained so thats good. At the shore clouds increasing, cool, 46 degrees next to that ocean water and in philadelphia a high of 43 this afternoon, clouds on the march as we go through the morning and afternoon. Chilly obviously and winds staying light out of the southwest at about 48 Miles Per Hour. At 5 oclock were fairly cloudy and well north and west of the poconos theres the chance of some snow showers so if youre planning on going up into northeastern pennsylvania look out for snow later today into the afternoon. And then later on in the evening hours were going to see some showers build in around philadelphia and some snow showers respect possible up in allentown, maybe down by reading and up in the poconos. These dont look like theyre going to amount to very much but if youre out later tonight driving around you might want to slow it down in those northern areas. Then overnight mostly cloudy. That evening shower gets out of here after about midnight or so and the overnight low is 33 degrees so tomorrow morning it will be cold and the winds are going to start to pick up a little bit overnight tonight. Then on wednesday a high of 42 degrees but all eyes will be on this frontal boundary which is an arctic front and behind it very cold air so 42 on wednesday. One more day to be able to go out and get things done relatively comfortable conditions but then behind that system look out. Weve got a cold crush with an area of low pressure moving down over quebec. Were going get strong winds wrapping around low and were going to see high temperatures on thursday and friday in the mid20s but on thursday in particular the wind chills making it feel like its between zero in the morning and about 10 degrees in philadelphia in the afternoon and a little worse below zero wind chills at times in the northern suburbs. Your sevenday from accuweather increasing clouds today, 43. Again today is the day to get stuff done if you still got it to get done. Tomorrow you can still do some stuff, too, from degrees, clouds and sun but in the afternoon and especially the evening the temperatures are going to plunge. Its a frigid night and weve got the chance of a little snow shower popping through wednesday night. Then on thursday, bitter wind, clouds and sun, 24 is the high. It will feel like again down around zero in the morning, 10 in the afternoon. Cant rule out a passing snow shower. The next issue of course we get a high of 23 on friday, thats not great. The next issue is friday night into saturday where we are expecting some snow eventually mixing with some ice and then we expect all of that to change over to rain on saturday afternoon. But saturday morning could be a dicey period around here with a high of 42 later. Getting better it. Thank you david.

Its been overhead sign work that theyve been doing overnight and at this point youve got the two right lanes get buying on the westbound side of the schuylkill expressway. On the eastbound side its just the shoulder thats topped traffic head toward montgomery drive and toward center city.
