Theres a live look at broad street and city hall and center city. Not too bad. Rain could be on the way possibly. Lets check in with meteorologist tammie souza. Tempering expectations. I like the way you said possibly, aim not sure. Theres a chance of. Its not going to be the destructive rain. It will be the type of rain showers were used to that come and go. No total washout. We have those clouds out there. And the system that once was irma. 78 right now in philadelphia. Winds out of the southwest at 5. Were going to be in that pattern where we are close to where we should be this time of year. Especially the southerly winds kind of warming us up a little bit. Its 80 in allentown. 75 in wilmington. If youre in vineland, 75 to you. 75 in atlantic city. Even mount pocono at 72. Doppler radar is sweeping the sky. We have to move over to southern parts of pennsylvania and northern parts of maryland to be able to seat the first of the showers making their way in our direction. You can already see the cloud sheer. And all of that is going to work in here. I showed you how wide this storm system has become. So tomorrow morning you wake up and clouds will be in place. E we will see periods of showers and even isolated thunderstorms moving through the area. More showers through the area. But none of this is a total solid green with the big streaks of yellow. That indicates well have scattered showers on and off. Even on friday and even into very early on saturday morning. So how much . There you go. Not a whole lot in the forecast models. Probably less than a half inch. If youre under a thunderstorm, you can pick up a little more than that. This is not a washout for us. Everybody has been watching jose. Hurricane jose was a major hurricane expected to fully stay out to sea and it still may. It may even take a run at bermuda. Take a look at what its doing. Gearing off to the north, thats the track right now in the cone. It is all over the place. We have seen models that take it to the mainland, models that take it out to sea. 75 miles an hour, its expected to maybe downgrade to a Tropical Storm and then back up to a hurricane. Well watch it simply because the steering mechanism, the High Pressure to the north doesnt come into play until this weekend. So it could make its way close to the peninsula. All of the forecast models are pretty much in agreement with going up to the north. Theres one outliar that brings it into philadelphia. The United Kingdom model take it is into florida. So we still have a little bit of disagreement. Its the main cone that stays out to. Well keep an eye on this to see if its going to be a rainmaker for us early or the midpart of next week. At this point, it is still a hurricane that is in the atlantic and not be boltering us this weekend or anybody else. So if it youre in fair mont, you could see a few showers. Langhorn at 78. Isolated shower. Youll see 78. We go to long port. 76 and in dover 79 again carry the umbrella because you may be under one of those passing showers or maybe not.

A judge threw out the criminal charges against an engineer in a deadly train crash. The judge said it was an accident and not a criminal act. Were joined now live by defense attorney to talk about the ruling and what this means going forward. Thanks for being with us. So what should we make of all this . The case didnt even make it out of a prenar hearing. All that has to be shown is theres some evidence and more likely than not that this person committed this crime. Its rare that its thrown out. It goes to back up the district attorneys original decision not to file charges in the first place because they didnt believe there was enough evidence. The judge kind of backed them up here. The attorney general said it will review this case though this might not be the last we have heard about it. Correct. If a case is tossed, thes can be refiled. Double jeopardy does not attach the trial level. You pick a jury. They review the case and have more evidence and refile and try again. Does this have any impact on the civil side of this case. There was a settlement already. If they are not covered by that settlement, they would have the right to sue in a different court. So they absolutely have all of their civil rights intact.

Thats where it was born. It took an unusual path. Typically they curve into the atlantic before coming to the u. S. But this one very similar to 1960. Also a catastrophic storm taking almost an identical path. You will not have to hear this storm name once we get past the recovery and all the rebuilding because when a storm is catastrophic, devastating or deadly, that storm name is retire d. So youll never be. Hearing irma again again when we move forward. This is moving through the United States. Now you can see its disorganized and looks like a giant storm system that would cross the country. Thats the type we see. Thats because it doesnt really have any tropical components any longer. The center of rotation is spread out so broadly it covers 11 or 12 states. How much rain, look at this dark blue and the shades of gray and black. Right down there near jacks jacksonville. Some of the areas the average accumulation was nine inches but some picking up 10 or 11. So massive flooding into georgia and south carolina. And thats why it is so important that all those people heeded the warning and took shelter immediately to get out of harms way with all of this. Now all eyes are on jose. Jose was a major hurricane in the wake of this hurricane that were still dealing with. I got to tell you its going to probably move out into the atlantic. There are a few forecast models that want to bring it a little closer to land this is the peak of hurricane season. So we have to Pay Attention to any system out there and right now it does have 75 mile an hour winds. Its expected to weaken and still stay a category 1 storm.
