like anybody else. >> i think that sexual assault isn't taken seriously specially on, you know, in a college setting. so the fact that sort of someone who is so well known, associated with temple, is being held accountable for, you know, his actions, that's a good thing, because it is not something that is seen. >> un surprisingly the name bill cosby is now trending on facebook and twitter and on social media. coming up new tonight, we will have more reaction from those here at temple and philadelphia of course, the place where the comedian was born, where he grew up, that part of the story coming up tonight. for now reporting live from temple university, rahel solomon, cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> stay with us as we continue to follow the announcement of the sexual as at charge against bill cosby. more this afternoon starting on "eyewitness news" at 5:00. >> also, breaking this noon, we are waiting for eagles owner jeffrey lurie, will meet with the media to discuss the surprise firing every head coach chip kelly. sport director don bell is live for us at the nova care complex with a advanced look,

seasonable conditions. we'll get back to it regardless, let's just break everything down. starting off with a good place to start here, storm scan3, nice wide zoom for you. and, don't worry about the snow that you see over the great lakes. not going to affect us. what you want to focus on the rain being drawn in, area of low pressure developing to our south. that's what's going to bring thus next wet weather chance. got some pretty good juice with it right now. very heavy rain currently falling, just outside of raleigh, for example. now moving across the virginia state border, and it is clearly making bee line for us. so, when does it actually get here? going to actually break it down for you coming up. want to look ahead, as well. we mention that bigger pattern change. as we look forward in the computer guidance, we are expecting for one thing seasonable conditions. some colder air to nudge in here. but very quiet beginning to the new year, at least for the first week of january. there is potential. key word potential for larger storm to take place second week of january, obviously still a long way away, starting to see ingredients

maybe available at that point in the atmosphere, second half coming, briefly, we return back to mild air. that's another question mark, but it is a possibility. meanwhile, let's get you through the rest of today, shall we? as we go through the afternoon, see little speckle on the area radar, not enough to really bring any casino of major issues for the evening drive. but at this point it looks like it might be later on tonight. that showers develop, bit more region wide, then see it all clear out of here pretty quickly, it will be a quick moving system. come tomorrow, maybe going to one of those countdown to noon events. by the time we hit noon, looking at basically full sunshine. and in time to ring in the new year, 12:00 a.m. friday, we expect generally clear skies, as well, but cooler conditions, hey at least it is clear as a bell here. can't say the same as go outside in a live neighborhood network. still pretty decent fog settling in here across berks county, no advisories at this point yet in effect. so, all dense fog advisories have been allowed to expire, still got it in spots. watch for. that will you have got a spread going on here too. thirty's, four's, 50's,

depending on location, so it is still technically above average most locations, but chilly enough that i would suggest at least a fleece walking out the door. meanwhile, new years eve planner, whatever your plans are, if they entail anything outside, looking good. but i, again, suggest the jacket. guys, it is partly cloudy for the better part of the night, and it looks as though by midnight dropping down to about 40 degrees. heading forward in that eyewitness weather seven day forecast, well, here you go. back to reality, folks. in time for january 1, 44 degrees, a heck of a lot closer to where we should be than what we have seen as of late. >> i just love this extended fall or whatever you want to call it. >> yes. >> spring-summer? >> it's been bananas. >> in a good way. >> exactly, i'm with you on that one. >> all right, katie. we'll be right back.
