That northbound travel time is three times what it should be although 42 minutes is a lot better than the hour and 20 minutes we saw earlier on. So, we are improving but its still a really slow go on 95 northbound that spills back onto the vine street expressway. Solid line of traffic eastbound across town from the schuylkill out to 95 and of course those delays spill back onto the schuylkill itself.

So, future tracker timing it out. 8 oclock in the morning, were dry but we do have a a lot of clouds. As we head into the afternoon, this is when that warm front approaches. So, this will bring us some showers by about 3 30, especially south and west of philadelphia. The temple game, some showers moving in towards the end of the game. Then we get a bit of a break in the academics saturday evening but then the wee hours of the morning on sunday, this is when the cold front pushes in and this could actually have some heavier downpours, maybe even a rumble of thunder.

And new research about a surprising benefit of owning a dog. Now the details. Breaking news from west chester where investigators say they are still trying to account for all the residents of a west chester senior home that went up in flames late last night. A short time ago officials held a News Conference but had no information about whether there are any fatalities. They are still cross referencing the list of residents with the list of people accounted for. Heres what we do know. 27 people were injured. 17 are still hospitalized. That fire broke out about 11 00 p. M. Last night at the barclay friends Senior Living community. It quickly spread to other buildings in the complex going to five alarms before crews were finally able to get it under control. A heartbreaking scene as elderly folks were evacuated, many in wheelchairs, some of them still in their beds. And people who live near the facility came out to try to help. Tons of people have come out to help, tons. All of the neighbors are really coming out to try to do were they can. Its scary. I mean, theres a lot of people that really need help and theyre all out in the street and they need to be kept warm. Well, the fire is still burning so investigators have not been able yet to get in the building trying to begin pinpointing a cause. And as part of the investigation officials will certainly take a look at whether there were smoke detectors or a functional Sprinkler System in the facility. Action News Reporter chad pradelli is live in west chester with that part of our coverage tonight. Chad. Reporter rick, we learned this facility had been cited for fire safety violations in recent years. Nursing facilities like this are required to have Fire Suppression systems to prevent fires like this. So, the question is, what happened . Action news reviewed annual building inspection reports by the Pennsylvania Department of health. We found barclay friends was cited in february for failing to seal ceiling openings that could spread flames. Last year, inspectors found the facility failed to maintain doors to resist smoke passage and in 2015, barclay was cited for failing to maintain the Sprinkler System. Inspection reports indicated the facility quickly corrected the violations. But a critical question is why did the fire go to five alarms and why didnt Fire Suppression systems prevent the scope of the fire. Officials didnt have answers at a press briefing this afternoon. It is still an Ongoing Investigation so and i cant speak to that specifically. Reporter fire officials were not at the briefing but atf, alcohol tobacco and firearms as well as the Chester CountyFire Marshals Office will be leading this investigation. So far, they havent determined cause or origin, theyll know more once theyre able to investigate the scene. Weve also activated the National Response team so this is a Specialized Team of about 25 folks that are in transit to the city now to the town now. Theyll be getting into the town this evening.

President trump is under fire tonight for criticizing senator al franken who is facing allegations of Sexual Assault. Trump who was caught on tape bragging about groping women, targeted franken on twitter last night but then stayed silent on republican Senate Candidate roy moore who is facing allegations of his own. Abcs janai norman joins us live from washington with the latest on all of it. Monica, some are asking whether the president is picking and choosing when to talk about Sexual Misconduct and thats of course brought back the more than a dozen women who have accused him. President trump is accused of playing politics with Sexual Misconduct. Hours after accusations surfaced against democratic senator al franken, along with this picture showing franken reaching out at a womans chest as she slept, the president tweeted, the Al Frankenstein picture is really bad. Speaks a thousands words. Where do this hands go in pictures two, three, four, five and six while she sleeps and to think that just last week he was lecturing anyone who would listen about that Sexual Harassment and respect for women. Should roy moore resign mr. President. Reporter but the president has been largely silent as allegations of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault involving teenaged girls in the 1970s have mounted against alabama republican Senate Candidate roy moore. And unlike many other republicans, mr. Trump has not retracted his endorsement of moore. On fox news, Kellyanne Conway defended the differences in how trump has responded. The roy moore story is eight days old and the president put out a statement during his asian trip on that and since then our press secretary has spoken on behalf of the president by saying that he believes the people of alabama will sort out what to do with roy moore and with that election. Reporter but that conflicts with what President Trump said himself telling reporters in asia that he would address the moore issue when he returned to the u. S. His move taking on franken brings the president own troubles back to light, this now infamous access hollywood tape. And when youre a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab them by the bleep . Reporter accusations by more than 10 women accusing President Trump of Sexual Misconduct. Total fabrication. All of these liars will be sued. Reporter and President Trump never sued his accusers but one of them sommer server is now suing President Trump in federal court for libel. Reporting live from washington, janai norman channel6 action news. Jenae thank you. Meantime, the wife of embattled alabama Senate Candidate roy moore spoke to the media today and promised that her husband will not quit the race. Kayla moore said her husband has always been a gentleman. Roy moore is accused of sexually assaulting young women years ago but today his wife blamed the media and said the story is just not true. So, let me set the record straight. Even after all the attacks against me, against my family, against the foundation and now against my husband, he will not step down. [cheers and applause] several women have come forward in recent weeks saying moore had sexual contact with them when they were teenagers. He denies the accusations. Hunger problem in america was highlighted today in philadelphia. Representatives from hunger free america announced their latest report on Food Insecurity here at the shop rite in tioganicetown. They talked about the need for leaders in congress to reject the proposed tax reform that they say would make more than 190 billion in cuts to federal nutrition assistance programs.

Those delays are spilling back onto 95 here in delaware county. So, this is the southbound side. You can see the northbound travel time is even worse. Thats because the northbound side of 95 starts to jam right at the girard point double decker bridge and that delay extends the whole way north to Bridge Street in the northeast. Thats because of that earlier crash thats now completely gone but damage is done. Those big 95 northbound delays with single digit speeds continue to spill back onto the vine street expressway looking at it live its jammed solid eastbound across town the whole way from the schuylkill out to 95 and those delays spill back onto the schuylkill as well.

As we take a live look in the Weather Center right now the sun has set at city hall here. We have the rothman ice rink at dillworth park. A decent amount of people on this friday evening taking in a little bit of ice skating and its not too bad to be out there. In fact, winds have really come down especially from yesterday where they gusted over 30 miles an hour, sustained at 10 in center city. Six allentown, three in trenton and Single Digits for basically the rest of the region and well continue to bring those winds down so were not chatting much about wind chills. Yes, its a little chilly in lancaster and reading in the 30s but only 45 right now in philadelphia, 40 in wilmington and right around 40 degrees at the coast for your wind chill and how it feels. Satellite and radar, a decent amount of clear skies right now. You can see some high clouds trying to come in from the north and west but they are falling apart as theyre encountering dry air thats in play right now but thicker clouds over the ohio valley and thats all along a warm front thats going to come through here tomorrow afternoon and thats whats going to spark the chance for rain as we go into your saturday. But for tonight, partly cloudy and those winds continue to diminish, just light and variable but it will be cold tonight, 27 in the suburbs, just above freezing for center city. Future tracker showing tomorrow morning, a little filtered sun in the morning. Thats not going to last long, those clouds winning out right away and as we get towards the afternoon, those showers do come in, so pretty damp as we go into our saturday afternoon and as we get into saturday evening, could be a temporary lull in any steady rain saturday 8 oclock as that warm front lifts away but then the cold front has to come through early on sunday morning so we get a steadier round of rain late saturday night early sunday morning about a quarter to threequarters of an inch but most of that rain should exit pretty early on sunday morning for the philadelphia marathon. Could be a lingering shower but on sunday, the other concern is not the rain, its going to be those winds sustained up near 25 miles an hour by lunchtime with gusts near 45 miles an hour, so there will be a chill in the air come sunday and then as we go into next week for your travel, both tuesday and thanksgiving, perfect, dry conditions, no weather woes but wednesday there could be a little bump in the road early in the morning into the early afternoon with a round of showers. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, 55 tomorrow with those afternoon showers developing. Drying out sunday but a windy day, high of 54. Feeling much cooler than that with those winds. Its brisk chilly but sunny here monday, 48. Bump it up tuesday, really a nice day at 58 degrees. Early showers wednesday, drying late day, 54.
