Not in your neighborhood, almost here. Not in our neighborhood yet, but we know well need the umbrellas. 44 degrees right now, 7 08, your sunrise time, daylight dawning time, because we dont expect sunshine with all of the rain. Thirtyfour in mount pocono. Forty in reading. Over in lancaster, where they are about to get the heavy rain, 36 degrees, 47 atlantic city, 42 wilmington. So all of the temperatures above freezing, just rain in the forecast, here, is your morning commute lighter rain, showers around through about 9 00. It will be getting miler. Already in the 50s by 9 00. Then as youre driving home, this is where you will see the heavy downpours, the ponding, a few thunderstorms are not out of the question, and possibly that record High Temperature of 65 degrees. We just have to beat 62, which was set in 2006 to get a new record for today. So unusually mild, unusually warm, unusually wet. All for your wednesday. So, lots of action coming today. Lets see whats going on on the roads, we had been rather tran quill on our morning commute. But lets see what we got right now. Talcony palmyra bridge opening up, for a boat to go through, about ten after 5 00. So very shortly, use caution or maybe pick another bridge if you are leaving right now, blue route, approaching conshohocken, still pretty clear, at this hour. And your travel times this morning, looks like it is smooth sailing on the schuylkill and that portion of i95 near woodhaven road. Which always gets kind of bottlenecked a little later on. So, so far so good, lauren, chris. Thank you so much, sue. Happening today, it is decision day for bill cosby, judge expected to rule whether the criminal case will move for or be tossed out. Dave kinchen standing by live at the Montgomery County courthouse, to catch up, catch us up to speed on whats going on, hi, driver. Judge will decide something today, whether these charges will stick or whether this whole case will never make it to trial, and these charges from the Sexual Assault charges against bill cosby will be thrown out. Heres what we know. Bill cosby left court yesterday after six hours of testimony, from former Montgomery CountyDistrict Attorney bruce cast to who was key witness for the cosby defense team. Castor testified did he not pursue charges against cosby because every credibility issues would cause the accuser former Temple University employee andrea constant. Now, castor said there was not enough evidence to show that cosby had committed a crime. He also said constant did not act like victim every Sexual Assault according to her Police Interviews and said she went to a lawyer before going to police. She played a deal not to prosecute cosby but asked why that deal was not put into writing. He said he didnt feel it was necessary, and that is the key point for cosbys team, they said, because of that, cosby should never have been charged, and should never be prosecuted. So again, big question, what will the judge decide . Will the case move to trial or will these charges simply be thrown out . Well know that today. Back to you guys. It will be interesting to find out. Son of chaka fattah pennsylvanias longest serving member of congress sentenced to five years behind bars, taken straight to prison. Chaka fattah junior in federal court yesterday. Judge told the 33 year old man chip he had advantage others could only dream about.

His father, who is also under federal indictment for alleged corruption, spoke after the sentencing. I believe in our system of justice.

Chip fattah was also ordered to pay more than 1 million in restitution. A mother and her two Young Children were sent to the hospital after a driver hits them as they crossed the street in south philadelphia. It is so hard to watch this video, of course, we have frozen the individual joe before impact. Person driving kept ongoing. Police now searching not only for the car involved, but also, the driver of that car. Steve keeley now at Police Headquarters with more on. This good morning, steve. Well what we will show you different angle at Police Headquarters. You can see right across the street, painted for pedestrians and people driving, to easily see with these white wide stripes, crosswalks in philly are supposed to be the safe spots. Yield for pedestrians is the state law. Even when drivers have the green light. But in this case, cops and witnesses say the car did not have a green light. Speeding through it after it went from yellow to red. Watch, as we show you, the first angle of the first of three Surveillance Videos, this young mother, six month old baby, strapped to her in a harness to her chest with the five year old daughter right next to them. They have got the green light. They go from the sidewalk into the crosswalk, going into the side street intersection along big broad street across the smaller one way dickinson, where this red maroon honda hits all three. The five year old hit first, and thrown the farthest, all the way across to the opposite side of broad street, just past 1 00 in the afternoon yesterday, so lot of witnesses to help with the three victims, lots of cameras to help the cops. That car shot down here, i think, shot down here, and kept going. It shot out the way. It new it did something wrong when it shot out of here. And it left the mother there like to die more or less, for real. You know . I am just putting out there, who ever did this incident to this mother and her two children need to turn themself in or have somebody represent you or something because you was wrong for doing t thank god the mother and the baby still alive. Because that hit, that hit, cant forget that hit. Well besides the video evidence, how about this . Some physical evidence. Police have the passenger rear view side meyer or it, broke off on impact. That almost makes them positive this is a 2,001 honda accord. Now, video and witnesses pretty positive it was a female driver, and you can see this camera, as we pull up, farther away, about three blocks past broad street, along dickinson, the car captured going by in color speeding away without that passenger side mirror. And chris, you mention, looking for the car and driver, if they dont find them first, probably also will be happy they look for more Surveillance Video watch they would really like to see is a car going past surveillance, maybe get the license plate, because no front plate. So thats why we only have the front of car for now. They have three cameras, if anybody out there watching has a surveillance camera in south philly, and may have got this car coming at them, either before or after the accident along broad street, give the cops a callment check your video. See if you got it. Yes, you dont have to have kids of your own to make that video have your stomach turn. I mean hard to watch. Really. All right, steve, thank you. Time now 5 08.

With this rather strong cold front that is set to move through our area. There it is in the blue there, weve already had the warmfront come through. Thats brought in really mild temperatures. So, throughout the day, we do have this cold front ahead of it, the temperatures in the 60s, chillier temperatures, behind it, heavy rain inbetween.

Judge expected to make a decision today on the Sexual Assault charges against him, dave kinchen now live at the Montgomery County court hours yet again for us for day two, dave, good morning. Reporter good morning to you, chris, lauren. Here is what will happen today. We do know this much, judge steven oneil will make a decision in this case we dont if if he will have the criminal Sexual Assault charges against bill cosby be thrown out. Thats the big question here when court does resume in the 9 00 hour, bill cosby left court yesterday after six hours of testimony from former d. A. , bruce castor, a key witness in cosbys defense team. Did not pursue charges against cosby years ago because of court credibility issues, with cosbys accuser temple employee andrea con stand. Castor said there was not enough evidence to show cosby had commit add crime. He also said con stand did not ask a victim every Sexual Assault according to her Police Interviews, said she went to a lawyer before ever going to the police. Castor made a deal not to prosecute cosby, but the judge asked why that deal was not put in writing, and castor simply replied, it wasnt necessary. So, today, again, the judge is expected to make a ruling. That much the judge said yesterday, and at 7 30, our legal team will breakdown what will likely happen today.

It is so loud there at the courthouse. National attentionment even journalists in germany are here to cover this case. Time 5 34. The search is on this morning for hitandrun driver. So, a mother and her children stranded and injured in the street as the car just kept ongoing after they were hit. Steve keeley . Good morning, steve. Yep, we can call this driver a real broad street bully. And you can bet, it was a real sleepless night for this person, because no way can you sleep. And you can bet the driver probably tuned in to a tv station, or look on line, and saw the Surveillance Video, and saw what police have, than will probably hopefully urge this driver to get it over with and call the cops and say hey i was driving, sorry, i left the scene, i panic. Here is the video were talking about, you can see, this mother with a six month old baby, strapped in a harness to her chest, her little five year old daughter walking right no her. Theyve got the light. Theyve got the law on their hand, because they are in the crosswalk, they are walking up broad street. They go from sidewalk into crosswalk and boom. They are hit. This car probably was looking up at the light as it changed from green to yellow to red and trying to make the red light into broad. And did not going through the red light according to a lot of witnesses in the police after they enhanced and looked at this Surveillance Video from several different cameras. The little girl, really scary, tramatic, and i hope she is okay. I heard that she had like a broken leg. She was far from the mother, too, so she must have gotten thrown. I think it is terrible that person is going to get caught. So thats good, but like they shouldnt have had to go to that point. And i think that they should have stopped obviously. Just making things worse for them. It is in the right. Always tough to hide your car when it is missing a vital part and the public knows that, in this case you can see, the passenger side Rearview Mirror broke off on impact, and there is probably some front end damage, as well. Because that little five year old was hit and thrown the farthest, landing on the opposite side of broad street. This driver is lucky, five year old tough little girl, broken leg, mom is tough, too. Head injuries, critical, and has survived. And the baby because she was strapped so well to moms chest, moms body protecting the baby. The baby just some scrapes watch scratches. Nobody got hilled here. Charges wont be as serious but still quite serious but just luck foy there are driver knob was kill or this driver would be doing some mandatory prison time. Grace of god this wasnt a whole lot worse. And im getting the way the mother fell she must have fallen on her side on her back not on top of the little baby. Because that could have been whole different outcome if that were the case, steve. Youre right there chris. All right,. Lets turn our attention to sunday. Everyone getting excited about superbowl ooh, right . It is broncos verse the panthers as we know. Is spring coming noon. How about the groundhog deciding on the winner every sundays game .

Do have the pictures to look at of what we were experiencing week and a half ago. Plenty of snow as we look at this us snow cover map. In the place that is got it yesterday, looks for us, though, that snow pack is dwindling, has been with the above average temperatures, that weve had every day this week, most of the snow out to the north and west around harrisburg. It is gone in south jersey and delaware for the most part. Unless you have one of those giant piles in the mall parking lot or something. But, for us, heres where we got the rain right now t looks like it is pretty heavy to steady rain, in springfield, delaware county, around haverford, and look around west goshen, Chester County, uekland township. Lancaster county, notch out of new castle county, rain little lighter but it is here. Hopefully you havent gone out yet. If you hadnt, grab the umbrella. Occasional showers to start. Then the real heavy stuff even though seeing some heavy downpours right now, possible thunderstorms will be for the evening commute, it ends between 9 00 and midnight from west to east. Thats the way the cold front travels. Along the front could possibly see some thunderstorms, so, temperatures in the 60s ahead of this storm, heavy rain with the storm. But it is all a wednesday event. Flooding often lingers after the rain is over so well probably see street flooding, small streams, some creeks, flooding, because of all of the rain that we are expecting today. Had 44 degrees in philadelphia, 45 in dover, delaware. Thirtyfour mount pocono with all of the temperatures above freezing. Rain, and only rain, in the forecast. 41 degrees your average high you think weve been above average with temps in the 50s, look add today six a. Record 62. And it was set in 2006. Looks like we will break that. When it comes off it get closer to average. It will still be above average. So by tomorrow not too much snow left on the gown.
