Little rain moving into washington dc. I dont think it will hold together and make it to philadelphia.

But there could be few showers later on and probably rain moving through the warmfront overnight that will warm us up for the next couple of days, wacking out the door right now also chance by the way of rain on friday. Each day chance every rain, friday maybe thunderstorm but what i was talking about walking out the doorstep tours mostly in the 40s, as much as 10 degrees colder than yesterday. So, keep that in mine, and only going to get to 62 degrees, with increasing clouds. We warm up tomorrow, and on friday, by friday at 80 degrees by sunday lost 25 of the degrees, mid 50s, so this will be our temperature roller coaster ride over the next couple of days. Bob kelly . Like accountants dream over there, losing numbers left and right. Good morning, 6 17. Ninetyfive, looking good, slowing down at girard avenue. The beginning of the rush hour. And here is a lynn up for the grand opening today of the museum of American Revolution, 8 00, we start the party at Washington Square expect delays, secret service, dignitaries in the area of thirds and chestnut. Keep in in mind coming into old city or maybe the kids are coming in on any of the bus trips for the school class trips in chaddsford an accident Baltimore Pike at fair ville, fire location in pennsauken and give yourself extra time if you need to get to the river line station there in pennsauken. Speaking of new jersey, hello to the shaders, live look, at route 73 may he had sale. Did you hear about the election . Special election last night, yesterday, during the day of course, both last night in georgia. The special election failed to produce an outright winner. Congressional race is down to republican karen handle. And democrat, judges oosef hoping to fill the seek vaux kate dollars by tom price now health and Human Services secretary. The race has been seen as referendum on President Trumps presidency. Now President Trump who has posted number of twitter messages about the contest the last few days even claimed victory for republicans before the race was called. But a lot of people are saying whats this mean . Traditional, very conservative, republican area. For even a democrat to get this close says is a lot. It does say a lot. Can you imagine going to the voting booth yesterday . Eighteen people on the ballot. I think there were 11 republicans, four deem crates. But you look at 18 people to choose from. Thats a lot. Now it is down to one, karen . Because he didnt get 50 of the vote. So they have to have a runoff. Should be much closer with ten of her opponents republican opponents now out of the race. After shooting and killing three people at random in fresno, california, it is so sad now in our country because, remember there is would have been our lead story. Maybe ten or 15 years ago. But now . Common plates. Common place, yes. So karen, what do we know about the suspect so far . We know he has whole long history, obviously extremely angry. He told people, investigators, that he wanted to kill as many white people as possible before he was captured and taken into custodiment his name cory alley muhammad. Already wanted for shooting 25 year old motel Security Guard last week. Now investigators think in this instance he was just single out his victims at random. No rhyme, reason. He shot and killed those victims yesterday. The men who all range in the age from about 34 to 59, they had no connection to each other. But they were just on the same street, really in the wrong place at the wrong time when this guy walked by. A witness who was nearby saw one of these incidents. My fatherinlaw calls me look, he has a gun. Person across the street from us, homeless with the back pack, just walking minding his own business. He walks up to him from behind and shoots him. After he shoots him twice, falls to the floor, passes right over him and shoots him again. He keeps running. So now that suspect is expected to be charged with four counts of murder, three from the shooting death yesterday, and then also additionally with the death that far Security Guard, from the motel six. Police say hes got whole long criminal history including weapons and drug charges, as well, mike and alex. My god, all right. Thank you, karen. 20 00.
