Right now in boston it is just 28 degrees, 27 syracuse, burlington 58 and philadelphia and the cold wind will be pushing in and rushing in during the overnight hours so the 50s we have right now, it is going to drop some 30 degrees by tomorrow morning.

It has been raining much of the day up in the Lehigh Valley but you can see it is cold enough, it is all snow in southern and Northern New England and boston winter storm warnings for to 8inches of snow on this april day to the north but for us locally it is all green in the form of rain. Some heavier rain developing in lancaster and southern and western Chester County pushing to the east so a little bit of a slow go on the roadways as theyre wet for that evening rush hour. But as we look ahead overnight the rain will slowly move south and east. It clears the coast by 11 00. Temperatures quickly drop and all areas are going to drop below freezing. 20s for everyone overnight tonight and that is a killing freeze. Well talk about that coming up in that full accuWeather Forecast. All right, adam thank you. Well see you in a little bit. All right. A team from the National Transportation safety board in Delaware County trying to figure out what led up to a deadly amtrak crash that killed two workers. John rawlins is live with the latest on the investigation. John. Reporter hi, sharrie. Well to be frank investigators have been pretty mum so far today though they did just call a 5 30 news briefing. Among the issues they are expected to be examining in the course of their investigation at the Maintenance Work that was being done along the northeast corridor not far from the point of impact p the question is what impact did it have on what occurred. Safety investigators want to know what went wrong. Given longstanding established rail safety protocols how did the southbound palmetto end of slamming into a right of way work vehicle a backhoe on a clear sunny morning. Yesterday the ntsb said it has the locomotives recording device. That will supply some answers such as the trains speed and what the engineer saw and did approaching the collision. Were still gathering the facts at this time. As of now we have recovered the event data recorder. The forward facing video and the end ward facing video from the locomotive to send to our lab in washington, d. C. Reporter the palmetto came to stop near bishop street in treanor. The impact was up the track near the booth street bridge in chester. At the time this long yellow track maintenance machine sometimes called a vac train was in place on a closed track. We are told its common practice for a backhoe he to at times assist the vac trains crew. Its also normal for an amtrak safety supervisor to be assigned to the location to be in radio contact with train dispatchers in order to avoid a collision with the work crew. Investigators now must track down and review the various orders or instructions that should have been given to dispatch personnel, the engineer of the palmetto and to the work crews. Did all the parties have the same critical information or was there at some point a failure to communicate . We should get a better idea of what the ntsb has been looking at today and what it has learned in the last 24 hours. As we said they have called a news briefing in about 90 minutes from now. Live in treanor, john rawlins, channel6 action news. Sharrie. Some more information to come on that. John, thank you. Our coverage of the deadly crash continues on 6abc.

Um, its the mindset that we take in every game just to accept coaching, be prepared, be focused, be dialed in defensively and, you know, just go out there and execute our defensive game plan. Reporter you talk about defense but the offense has been unbelievable, shooting the best shooting percentage since 1985 in a tournament up to this point. Are you surprised you guys are shooting this well . Not surprised just, you know, its amazing that when you focus in on other things, how certain things pop up that you never really think of. We never thought that we would shoot the ball this well. We were all so focused on defense. Reporter describe the feeling in your mind, i know youve built it up probably since you were a little kid, if that confetti comes down and youre cutting down the nets and you win a final four. You know, i just would be so happy for our group of seniors because theyve given so much to our program but, you know, were not even looking ahead to that. Were taking it one second at a time, one minute at a time and, you know, in preparation to get ready to go. Reporter good luck against North Carolina. Thank you.
