Downpours in san diego kept emergency crews scrambling from place to place rescuing trapped motorists. Torrential downpours turned this backyard into a waterfall. And the quick burst of heavy rains obviously took those drivers by surprise. In some percent th areas the was too heavy. Take a look at this video. It surprised diners at this restaurant. Usually homeowners in this area fear wildfires. Now the concern is heavy mudslides. Drivers were shocked and shaken from the relentless system of storms. I saw cars going through it so i thought oh, im fine until i felt my car slightly lift off and i just felt all the water and then i was like i cant i cant move. A lot of drivers found themselves in that situation. El nino has contributed to the near record flooding in the south and midwest. And after a record breaking warm end to the 2000 to 2015, the rains in the west are expected to last until friday. Matt. Wow. Thank you erin. David will be here in just a few moments.

Storm tracker6 live double scan right now we are dry to start out this morning but we are still cold. Havent quite gotten rid of that arctic air that came in on monday. As we take a look outside we have, yes, sky6 with clear skies, lots of stars out over the ben franklin bridge and were going to get plenty of sunshine up over the horizon in a little while. There, that hopefully will be the last one. 21 degrees in philadelphia currently so it is cold. In the teens in a lot of suburbs. 13 trenton, 14 allentown just 12 degrees in reading, 16 in wilmington, just 8 degrees in millville. 25 in cape play. A little better down by the ocean front but still on the cold side and still certainly coat weather there. You can see High Pressures effect. Lots of clear skies overhead right now. Once the sun comes up over the horizon well need the sunglasses any other only this morning but through midday and right up until sundown as it does look like its going to be mainly sunny across the region today. Up in the Lehigh Valley still cold though. 38 degrees. Now, thats better than yesterday when we were staying below the freezing in a lot of areas around the Lehigh Valley where we were staying below the freezing level i should say but better certainly than yesterday. 43 degrees, lots of sun and chilly at the shore. Also about a 10degree improvement over yesterday. In philadelphia a high of 40. Were seeing some improvement there. Its not as windy. Winds today only going to be about four to 8 miles per hour. Theyre variable right now, probably turning from the west overall as we go through the day. And also a we go through the day temperaturewise, things do improve. 22 degrees by 8 oclock. 30 by 11 oclock. 38 by 2 oclock. I expect our high of 40 around 3 oclock this afternoon. Tomorrow well inch it up to 42 with more of a partly sunny sky cover and then there is a warm front coming at us for friday that will increase clouds but will also allow us to add even more numbers to the temperature and by the weekend were back into the 50s but there is a storm system that will be passing us by and that will create a couple of periods of rain which ill detail for you now in the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast. It is going to be milder though this weekend. Your exclusive seven day shows 40 for todays high. Not as harsh later this afternoon after our cold start. And then tomorrow most of us will be in the 20s again in the morning but in the afternoon partly sunny and 42. So, definitely moderating a little bit. Friday increasing clouds because of that warm front but a high of 47 degrees, so feeling a lot better and if we get rain on friday, it probably doesnt arrive until pretty late at night so friday itself 47 and not too bad. Then on saturday some morning showers. In the afternoon mainly cloudy skies perhaps a spritz 47 the high there. And or 50 the high there i should say. Then on sunday 57 degrees the high. Very mild but unfortunately an approaching front is going to produce periods of rain through the day and at times sundays rain could be heavy. So, thats something to keep in mind. Then we dry out for monday and another cool slot arrives. Still chilly on monday with a high of 42. Brisk and cold on tuesday, 38 degrees. And it looks like that colder air, highs in the mid to upper 30s might hang around for a little while. No storm systems in sight, though. Bring it on. Yeah.

The reclusive country has claimed to have conducted a powerful Hydrogen Bomb earlier today. This is not been confirmed but if it is, the surprising move by north korea could be a huge jump in its quest to improve its limited nuclear arsenal. This is kim jong un signing the order for the test. The document read make the world to look up to our Strong Nuclear country and labor party by opening the year with the exciting noise of the first Hydrogen Bomb. Now some analysts say it is unlikely the north has achieved the technology to manufacture this kind of bomb but this claim once again raises questions about the capabilities of its missile programs.

Well try and climb out of these below freezing temperatures today. Well do that this afternoon certainly matt. Storm tracker6 live double scan shows that you say were dry. You might have some frost on the windshield this morning. As we take a look outside we have clear skies above center city and city hall and plenty of sunshine on the way in just a little while. But we are still starting out cold as we havent yet gotten rid of that arctic air mass that came in on monday. 21 degrees currently in philadelphia. And the winds westsouthwest at 5 miles per hour. Theyre light. Not much of a wind chill out there. But certainly cold enough for all that extra gear. And there you see the lack of cloud cover. High pressure in control today. And that should give us pretty much wall to wall sun from start to finish. 22 degrees by 9 oclock. By 8 oclock still real cold there. 30 degrees still below freezing by 11 oclock and then by 2 oclock were starting to moderate a little bit. 38 degrees by 2 oclock and your high today is 40. Thats almost 10 degrees better than yesterday. And with light winds it will feel even better. And then 36 by 5 oclock. So certainly a coat day but not quite as raw as it was the last couple of days. 38 is your high in allentown, 39 in reading and lancaster. 38 in trenton. Even 40s in philadelphia, wilmington, millville and dover. And down the shore a little bit better, low 40s, light winds, lots of sun today. Tomorrow partly sunny skies, 42. Well start to inch that number up a little bit. A warm front comes in friday that gets us into the upper 40s but at the same time cloud us up and then theres a rain maker that comes in for a part of saturday and a good portion of sunday but at least its rain and not snow and temperatures this weekend will be in the 50s. Speaking of snow, no chance of it over the next five days on any of the models. And looking at long range models it looks like we could go another eight, nine, 10 days before we have to worry about any hint of snow and im not even promising it then but over the next seven or eight days it doesnt look like theres anything on the horizon. 40 degrees not as harsh this afternoon. Partly sunny tomorrow, starting out in the 20s but winding up at 42. And then increasing clouds on friday, a high of 47. It does look like well get the first round of rain out of that warm front on friday but probably not until late friday night. So i think the daytime is looking dry on friday but we will have the clouds increasing. Then saturday some morning showers. Afternoon spritzes 50 degrees is the high. And on sunday thats the best chance of rain as a cold front comes in. Mild high of 57 degrees. But there will be periods of rain off and on throughout the day and at times we could even see pockets of heavy rain on sunday. All of there is gone for monday though and then we get another cool down. 42 on monday, 38 tuesday. I could see about the same on wednesday. And we might be entering a stretch of prolonged weather in the 30s at least four, five days but no snow. Okay, thank you.

You know, karen, the ben looks good but theres a lot of spots giving you trouble. Weve had a lot of accidents. We havent checked the schuylkill for awhile. Lets take a live look and show you what your commute looks like here and this is a look here near the conshohocken curve. Westbound traffic right there headed towards the blue route. Building volume in both directions as you can see. Not a major jam. With no delay it would be a 14 minute ride. Its a 20 minute ride in each direction between the blue route and the vine on the schuylkill expressway. But all kinds of other issues coming up so starting here in abington we have a fire on rockwell road near tremont avenue and were seeing rockwell road restrictions right there. Stick to ferndale avenue instead because we have emergency workers on the scene and because temperatures are below freezing anywhere you have fire crews out there and weve seen that a few times today you could get some icy spots as well. We have this accident cheltenham avenue at ogontz avenue as well. So look for that one. Yet another problem out there. And police tell me about this accident where a vehicle just ran into a ditch here. Sumneytown pike at shelley road in upper salford. That one may be causing you issues. I also talked to police about this tree thats kind of blocking the roadway here in pottstown. They had to have fire crews come out. Charlotte street. Look for that between gay street and saint john street. Might want to stick to hanover to avoid the delay. On the big picture the problems dont end there. In upper darby we have an accident on long lane at bradford road. Hearing someone is trapped in the wreckage. Weve got fire and emergency workers responding to that. I told you its been a busy day here. University city weve got Market Street eastbound one of the lanes blocked at schuylkill avenue because of an accident there so lots of problems out there. Cold out there and its a little frosty, matt and tam so watch there its not a little slick in one or two spots in the road. Thanks karen. The city controller of allentown stepped down just as she was about to start her second term. Player reellen koval skipped her swearing in ceremony on monday. Instead she submitted a letter of resignation. The fbi raided kovals office back in july as part of an Ongoing Investigation into the citys bidding process for government contracts. Kovals Attorney Says she has not been flamed in the federal subpoena and has not been accused of any wrongdoing. One of the armed activists holed up in oregon says he believes the fbi fbi has issued five arrest warrants and agents have set up a staging area. A joint Information Center set up to take media requests though had no information on arrests or warrants and said authorities were still working on a peaceful resolution. President obama was emotional as he talked about executive action on gun control but republican rivals wasted no time attacking his moves. Thethey argue hi bypasses of congress is an abuse of federal power. Ought to go to congress and force consensus. He doesnt have this power. President obamas executive actions will restrict our law abiding citizens. But the president argues those actions are well within his purview and insisted they do not infringe on rights and he says he believers in the second amendment. Theres not a plot to take away everybodys guns. You pass a background check, you purchase a firearm. The 10point plan calls for narrowing the socalled gun show loophole instructing private sellers to run background checks just like they have to do in businesses and other places. And a response the National Rifle association argued that none of the president s steps would have prevented the recent mass shootings. Mr. Obama says he rejects the notion that its not worth trying tearing up when recalling the first graders gunned down in newtown connecticut.
