Reporter as far as tonnage of trash, it was a record. 60 tons collector more than after the phillies parade or the papal visit. One hiccup. This bus that apparently blocked the view of parade watchers at broad and chestnut. Just as the team passed by. It was apparently a police matter. That was a vehicle that was used to transport officers that needed to be mobilized so i assure you it was not the intent of philly pd to obstruct the view of anybody. Reporter the officers were mobile lied to deal with people who had climbed and broken this jumbotron at city hall. So, what is the parades price tag and how much will be paid by the eagles, how much by the taxpayers . Thats still to be determined. I was the mayor when the phillies won. I got to figure out what the arrangement was with them. But we will have we will be transparent and opened with the number as soon as we have it. Reporter so, understand the actual parade that would be the buses the confetti truck the jumbotrons the sort of hoopla factor estimated cost about two to 3 million to be paid by the eagles for sure. The unknown is the city cost. Think overtime costs, thats still to be calculated and so it will take awhile for everybody to kind of figure out who pays what when. Live above the parkway, john rawlins channel6 action news. All right, party first, figure out the payments later. John, thank you. Sounds like dinner every weekend. All day long crews have been busy cleaning up the trash left behind after the crowd cleared out from south philadelphia to the art museum, sidewalks and streets are covered in litter.

President trump is defending a former senior aide accused of Domestic Violence by his two exwives. Rob porter denies the womens claims but still he resigned yesterday from his white house staff secretary position. Now the president is weighing in urging the public to remember that porter says hes innocent. Mr. Trump said porter has done a wonderful job and wished him a wonderful career ahead. The allegations have rocked the white house. Speaking of which President Donald Trump signed a 400 billion budget deal ending a brief federal Government Shutdown overnight. Both the house and Senate Approved the bill to keep the government funded at least through march 23rd. For nearly nine hours the government was closed because of resistance from one senator. Rand paul objected because he says this bill increases the deficit and sharply boosts spending. House Speaker Paul Ryan called it a true measure. In the house Many Democrats were upset that this plan does nothing to protect the undocumented immigrants who were brought to this country as children known as dreamers. If another country said that they were going to deport 800,000 people or place in jeopardy their protections under the law, we would be appalled. This agreement will also allow us to step off this carousel of short term funding bills that do nothing but hurt our military and stymie our ability to focus on other important agenda items. After he signed the bill President Trump tweeted the bill is a big victory for our military and also for jobs. Now theres one thing, of course, that is still to be addressed. That is daca.

All right. Meteorologist adam joseph joining us once again as we talk about an accuweather alert for the weekend. Yeah, not what you want when you head into the weekend. Just find indoor activities where you can. As we take a look at the Weather Center here live on sky6 the clouds have moved in as expected here during the mid to late Morning Hours. And clouds still very heavy this afternoon but as that warmth comes in along with the rain, not only are you going to deal with the rain but were going to deal with a lot of fog as well especially saturday night into sunday morning. Whats going to happen here is that the ground very cold and also rock solid at this point. Its frozen in spots and then as you get that warm moist air to kind of filter in over that very cold ground the two dont mix very well so it actually creates a cloud at the surface where that air temperature meets the dewpoint and fog basically forms as you condense the air with that warmth and the cold mixing with one another so watch that saturday night going into sunday morning on top of that heavy rain falling. As we look at temperatures right now 35 allentown, 36 in reading, 38 in millville as well as dover. Winds right now coming in out of the southeast but will switch more out of the south during the overnight hours tonight and thats going to move those temperatures up rather than going down. Satellite and radar, you can see the stream of clouds that have pulling in from the midwest. Thats not the system that is going to bring us the rain. That is to the south. You can start to see some of the showers coming together in the gulf coast states. For tonight it does stay dry. A lot of clouds dominating and then temperatures will fall back to 29 allentown early tonight, 36 philadelphia, 35 millville and then start to rise to near 40 in the predawn hours. In fact at 7 30 a. M. , 40 philadelphia, 29 in allentown being replaced by 361st thing in the morning. Maybe a few spitting showers in south jersey along the coast but the steadier rain does not come in until mid to Late Afternoon hours tomorrow and notice temperatures into the 50s and then theres that soaking rain midnight on saturday, 54 in dover, temperatures dont fall saturday night and that train of rain will continue right into sunday morning lasting through sunday lunchtime but by sunday afternoon, well start to shut off that heavy rain as it lifts to the north and east but temperatures in the wake of that rain even sunday afternoon in the mid and upper 50s to near 60 after one to 2inches of rainfall. If youre heading to the poconos, its going to be a little sloppy this weekend. Saturday 42 degrees, cloudy with some late rain developing and a soaker on sunday especially the first twothirds of the day on sunday of 46 degrees. As we look at the four day at 4 00 forecast here tomorrow 53 degrees with that rain arriving late in the afternoon. The accuweather alert especially on sunday morning for the possibility of road flooding, stream flooding and maybe some river flooding, 61 degrees and then monday clouds, maybe some late breaks of sun 48 and then clouds dominating again here on tuesday with evening showers of 42 degrees so not the brightest of four days.

Police commissioner richard ross says this was an accident explaining explaining that his office needed to be bussed in to investigate a report of a jumbotron being vandalized on the north side of city hall. But he did apologize for that blocked view. The blame for that one lies on us and i assure you it was unintentional. There was no deliberate intent to block anyones view. That should best by where everyone was along this parade route and so with that you got to own what you got to own and so thats on philly pd. Well, several viewers dont say thats exactly correct saying the buses appeared empty and there were already at least 50 officers on the ground. We are waiting for an update on this one.

Big talkers now and if you work in the Service Industry you may have heard that right now theres a proposal in washington that would allow employers to keep the tips earned by waiters waitresses bartenders and other Service Based employees. As you can imagine this is a talker today. So heres how it works. If you make the minimum wage of 7. 25 an hour, this proposal would allow your boss to keep your tips. As a way to kind of pool the money among the entire staff. Attorney general josh shapiro challenged it today at the Morning Glory diner in south philadelphia. I believe this will harm waiters and waitresses bartenders other Service Industry workers who count on their tips to feed their families, pay their rent and earn a living.

Natalie richards said when her daughter told her she couldnt say no to a boy if he asked her to dance, she did not believe it. But teacher said, oh, well, she cant. She has to say yes. She has to accept and i said excuse me . Please be respectful be polite we want to promote kindness so we want you to say yes when somebody asks you to dance. So thats the school policy. They say if theres an issue theyll address it but still mom says at the end of the day she feels this policy sends the wrong message. All right. Fashion quiz for you. What is this . The pink thing right here. Its a pouch you wear it on the waist, it clips in the back. I mean, come on, shout it out its a fanny pack. You knew that. Well, guess what . Theyre back. And nordstroms tweeted were crazy about belt bags. Belt bags really . Come on, thats a fanny pack its a fancy one. That pink one there is from valentino, its 1,375. At nordstroms. So, they sell them in all shapes and sizes and colors and price points and while most people laughed at the idea of our beloved 1980s1990s and still worn by some people hands free waist buckle bag making a comeback some are celebrating, they say function and finally fashion and for the record, somewayed in saying maybe, just maybe swapping the word fanny isnt such a bad thing and by the way folks in countries like new zealand we have always called it this a belt bag and for the record i dont hate this. Its all about the marketing. What you call it. Sounds more palatable if you call it a belt bag. Doesnt look any better but sounds the same. Thank you my friend. Lets get a check on the roads right now. Matt pelman here with the update for us. Hey, matt. Guys we had many a fanny packed in here yesterday along the ben franklin parkway. The eagles fans, they were all over the parkway. This afternoon were not seeing a lot of people out and about, its just some vehicles, they have returned to the ben franklin parkway because the cleanup is mostly finished so everythings reopened along the parkway. Little bit of traffic there on the local vine backing up passing the free library. No big deal out here this afternoon. But on the big picture and on the highways there are some slow speeds around the region. Have a crash now on 95 southbound side just past bartram avenue. Kind of sticking out into the right lane there. And were getting word of a downed pole in bella vista along washington avenue, the westbound side near ninth street. The police are out there directing traffic because of that that downed pole and wires. Since last we spoke there was a crash 422 westbound side approaching oaks was blocking a lane for a little bit. Now its pushed off to the side but still attracting a little attention so as you come westbound out of king of prussia through this point at oaks it is a slow go on 422. Morrisville bucks county has a crash as well, its route 13 at trenton avenue. Were watching a downed tree in Garnet Valley blocking concorde road near falk road. May want to brave the construction along 322. Thats going to be busy but a better bet. In claimant a crash along darley road. Were 91 new castle along route nine, the other route 13 dupont parkway. Well check it again in the 5 oclock hour. We got to get a rim shot in here. We need that. Adam Joseph Standing by with your exclusive accuweather 7day forecast coming up next. The weekend is finally here although a lot of people had yesterday off. Yeah. Yeah. They did. Probably off today, too. Right. [laughter] they may have just had an extended long weekend. Ever since the super bowl. Why not. But if you do have this weekend off, again not going to be the prettiest weatherwise. Lets chat about it. Head to the Weather Center here. Live on sky6 right now Philadelphia International airport, all things quiet right now on the weather front, just a lot of clouds but as we head towards the weekend, if youre expecting someone to come in look at that, a plane over my head, there we go, anyway, sorry had to do it. You didnt see just what happened. A plane was right on my head the whole time. [laughter] anyway, if youre expected to go out or come into Philadelphia International airport, check with your carriers this weekend. A lot of low clouds, fog and heavy rain. As we take a look at the rain chances this weekend, very high saturday and especially going into saturday night and sunday at 90 percent but it does drop as we get into the early part of next week but there is still a chance for rain especially as we get into late tuesday and early on wednesday so kind of an unsettled period moving forward. As we take a look at temperatures right now, 35 allentown, 36 in reading, 39 philadelphia, so temperatures are chilly right now with the clouds but were going to move those temperatures up well above average for the weekend. Look at the clouds. They have basically littered all of the midatlantic the northeast because of a system that pushed through chicago with a good amount of snowfall. That snow now heading into new england but thats not the system that will bring us the heavy rain. That is still down to the south in the gulf of mexico. Were starting to see the moisture come together and this is going to blossom very quickly tonight, going into the day tomorrow. So, the clouds dominate for our friday night, temperatures rise from the 20s and 30s to near 40 degrees by tomorrow morning. In fact, when you wake up tomorrow morning, already in the 40s south of the city, so upper 30s to the north and west. It is dry. Maybe a few sprinkles along the shore communities tomorrow morning. Its mid to Late Afternoon tomorrow we start to see the rain coming in from the south and west. Warm in the 50s and then as you can see it is a solid area of rain midnight on saturday night if youre expected to go out tomorrow night, watch for ponding on the roadways and staying in the near 50degree range for the overnight hours of saturday. Sunday morning still hits of very heavy rainfall but then it starts to move out mid to Late Afternoon on saturday as we try to dry it out a little bit but still very mild. As we take a look at rainfall totals, no matter where you are, it is more than an inch of rain, some areas could see over 2inches of rainfall, so as we head into saturday night and sunday morning, there could be a high concern for road and street flooding, low lying areas could see some flooding and for the creeks, the streams and major rivers its a moderate threat but something well watch. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast warm over the week, rain arrives late tomorrow lasts through a good chunk of our sunday with morning fog as well on sunday morning. Clouds start to break up late on your monday with temperatures cooler at 48 degrees. Clouds dominate tuesday evening, showers develop, 42. A lot of clouds for your valentines day, maybe a shower or two around as well of 52 degrees and then well start to bring the sunshine back thursday and friday. Take a look at thursday. Near 60 degrees with sunshine and a little bit cooler come friday. Not a bad seven day when you look at the temperatures this time of year. Yeah. Okay. [laughter] if you say so.

After the eagles super bowl ride, city officials dont know how exactly many eagles fans squeezed onto sidewalks streets and eakins oval during yesterdays parade but they do know they have a lot of cleaning up do. Friday night, philadelphia getting back to business following that giant celebration throughout the city for the eagles super bowl lii win. Chopper6 over the ben franklin parkway and eakins oval earlier today. As you can see the grass will need to be replaced, the trash still needs to be picked up completely but officials and fans agree it was all quite worth it. Absolutely. City officials couldnt give an exact number about how many people were along the parade route but they say it was more than 700,000 screaming fans. Police say only two people were injured, they were stabbed during the parade. However, one of those incidents likely stem from an ongoing problem between two people and happened inside of a residence according to authorities. There was also an assault on a Police Officer and five arrests for disorderly conduct. Police commissioner richard ross says he summed it up this way. To be able to have that type of event with those numbers and to have as the mayor said, some small hiccups, you know, is remarkable in my estimation and thats just because of the collaboration of everyone, not just philly pd, everybody and so im thankful to them, im thankful to all the people who attended, you know, who helped to make this a great celebration. Absolutely. As far as the cost of the event, theit
