Longer than ever before and that is why our prison population is so high. As republican senator, and president ial candidate ran paul, has said, and to his credit he is consistent on this issue, imprisoning nonviolent offenders for long periods of time does not make it safer, africanamericans and latinos make up 30 of our population and make up 60 of our inmates. After the string of statistics the president shifted gears talking about widespread reforms from everything from sentencing guidelines for nonviolent crimes as well as reforms in communities and more jobs for young people and reform in prison so people have a chance of reenry back into the real world a need for change from the president s perspective. Thank you john. Well, the president s day got started early with the announcement of a Nuclear Agreement with iran.

Could get into the 30s maybe even the low 40s at times but the Tropical Storm watch down the shore has been canceled because this storm just doesnt look like its going to be close enough to give us Tropical Storm conditions. Mariners take note though. The conditions just off the coast are going to start to get rather dangerous. On the coast, coastal Flood Warning today. Breakers on the beach eight to 10 feet. Thats going to give you beach erosion and strong chance of rip currents. High tide, the morning high tide not too bad minor flooding there but for that evening high tide moderate flooding down along the water and up in the bay. 71 in cape may, 70 in trenton and wilmington. 69 in allentown. Fairly comfortable as you step out just a little bit humid. Lots of clouds, some sunny breaks cant be ruled out. 74 by noon and a high of 77 at 3 oclock today. Breezy and at times a little damp. Some of those spotty showers down the shore could push inland briefly at times this afternoon. When i
Shortly by the d. A. Kevin steele. Hes going feel in some of the blanks in this story and ask for the publics help in finding the man that the police are seeking at this point in time. That individual apparently his just his reputation alone and what happened today held led to a lockdown of a hospital here about 15 to 20 miles from here in sellersville. Apparently that individual held a grudge about a doctor and as a precaution that hospital which is Grand View Hospital went into a lockdown for a period of time because they feared what might happen given what happened here in Montgomery County earlier in the day.

The entire region. This is the day after friday the 13th, right . So heres a look at radar and satellite. The cloud layer, satellite is hard to see but we do have clouds in place over pretty much the entire area. A lot of them low clouds too and even some patchy fog. Now, on top of that we have a few sprinkles that are kind of brushing up against parts of the jersey shore and just an isolated shower that may develop over parts of the delaware beaches here. And that chance is going to remain through today, particularly the first half of the day. But all this moisture itself is kind of wrapping out this way and its going to start pushing out east which means its pulling away from us. Still, well keep with the clouds today for more of a gray day than a sunny day. Tomorrow, the sunshine is a better chance of really breaking through. How about temperatures . They are warmer than yesterday at this same time. Instead of 40s and 50s weve got 50s and 60s. So 59 in pottstown but a lot of us in t
