Good morning, everybody. It is chilly out here on the sky deck but i can tell you at least it is dry for now here in center city. You will not find it a completely dry outlook when you walk out the door in every location but thankfully we are starting to see a modest rebound on the thermometer, from this same time yesterday, we have actually seen temperatures generally climbing, and, looking at storm scan three, you still have a couple of showers here and there. As we put things in motion, satellite coverage on top of it, the the system is making it across and through as we go through the the day today but brunt of what we saw yesterday is well off to the north and east at this point. Milder air has inn trieded in the wake of that and we will be look at strictly rain showers today. Look at the surplus that we started to pick up here in the poconos. We ended up with decent icing yesterday. Ten solid additional degrees from the values of the same time. It has climbed one or two or three or a few more than that degrees across the rest of the region since yesterday but it is something, it is not negative territory and that is translating in the low to mid 40s from philadelphia down towards the shore points. Were at 34 in mount pocono. There will be still showers to dodge here and there and very likely low lying cloud cover. We will watch for Poor Visibility crossing over area bridges for example but otherwise were left with a few showers here and there as the day progresses. Would i say by the time the sunnies going back down this evening we are looking at a back edge of what we will see in terms of wet weather, we will have have a chance to clear out and drop on the thermometer once again later tonight. Variety the tore use, back inside to you. Thanks, katie. Good morning, everyone. Still the roads look great. We are hoping they will stay like this for as long as possible but it is 5 05.

Lets look the a ben franklin bridge no major delays in either direction but when we get to rush hour would i expect that entire westbound side to be flooded from the toll plaza, all the way down through to philadelphia. Traveling east bound and westbound right now on the ben you will notice things are wide opened for you. As we look at this shot please keep in mind it is picking up reflection of slick spots on the roadway, definitely with weather like this just take it easy out there because accidents do happen. As we take a look at the vine street expressway no delays in either direction going to and from the schuylkill i95, it is a breeze and rest of the majors are the same way.

Eyewitness News Reporter Todd Quinones has more about a civil lawsuit filed by a woman who claims cosby sexually assaulted her 40 years ago in los angeles. Reporter trouble for legendary comedian continues to mount, we have obtained this lawsuit, which is alleged that bill cosby molested a then 15 yearold girl at the playboy mansion back in 1974. The lawsuit was filed tuesday in los angeles on behalf of a california woman named judy huth, marks a first time a woman is claiming to be under age when she allegedly was sexually assaulted by cosby. Huth out states she and a 16 yearold friend were taken to the playboy mansion by cosby in 1974 and after several drinks she claims cosby forced her to perform a sex act. Cosbys representatives have previously denied accusations or said woman raising claims had been discredited. Just on monday, cosby resigned from temple as board of trustees after serving in that capacity for 32 years. The 77 yearold comedian and actor has never been criminally charged in connection to the more than dozen women who claimed to have been drugged and or sexually assaulted by him. Our email to cosby as attorney was not immediately returned last night but in the meantime jidith huth is claiming to have suffered Emotional Distress and that shes just discovered its impact on her within the past three years.

But first torrential downpours from a pacific storm hits drought stricken california. Authorities warned that unstable hill sides could trigger mud slides in Ventura County located northwest of los angeles. That threat forced residents to evacuate their homes so not a good scene there, katie. Here at home we have had a little bit of rain. Is it through at this point.

They have had a another just drought now. When it comes to that quickly the mud slight issues and everything that goes with it can take effect there. But for us it is more of just a scattered variety of showers at this point. Thankfully temperatures have climb enough that it is strictly rain showers. Dont worry about icing this time around but visibility may be hindered and if you are flicking the wipers you are getting sled down on the roadways. Off to the west High Pressure is moving in.

It is not ideal visibility, of course, vittoria will have more as we move forward here but generally just expect that some of the typical suspects. You know, the mountains, the riverbeds, traveling across area bridges they could be a little dicey with patchy area of fog with the moisture in place and milder air to go witt. Because of that nice, warm air, we are going to moderate up nicely in the mid 50s and then that cold front that brings in showers through the day will cross through and we will clear out later tonight allowing things to drop off on the thermometer but we will get that sunshine. By friday we are watching the the a approach of our next system. There could be a shower with that, not guarantied still just a chance but i dont want to rule it out just yet. Saturday is a good day for indoor activities, mess of the day will feature some rain, vittoria.
