time of the year. rain plus snow equals fog. wayne hunter got that memo as well. he said fog for rain on the snow. there is a hill behind the trees, you cannot see it now but, of course, because the fog is obscuring it. just imagine traveling on the road and do not see cars coming really just maybe several hundred yards away and you are not going to see in front of you. the police be safe tonight. the rain leading to low visability, the the fog is also causing problems this evening. lets look at is what going on weather-wise, we will take you out to the palmyra cove nature park where your cannot see city sky line. 55 degrees at the moment. storm scan three shows the problem, this system coming through, bringing a lot of warm air in with it as it pushes across the the area and you can see a lot of rain, right now a around the baltimore area. this shading, this yellow and orange shows you where heavier rain is, traveling up i-95. we are seeing heavy rain over chester county an area that is under a flood advisory and will remain in that as we go through overnight hour,

possibly as flooding continues to occur. zooming in on key spots. the you can see a few heavier patches on have rain here along the shore points from eagleville, atlantic city, cape may point and into portions of sussex county, delaware. wide zoom shows this front really extending from portions of maine right down the eastern seaboard. what we have to watch heading into tomorrow and friday, once this front moves off shore a new wave of low pressure will develop along it and it could start to back closer to the coast early friday morning especially from new york city up through boston this could mean a little bit of accumulating snow. for us a rain or snow shower is possible early friday morning. the in the near term 55 degrees in philadelphia. fifty-two in wilmington. fifty-five in reading. well above average still. fifty-seven down in dover. in fact we hit 62 degrees today around 2:45 this afternoon. that ties the previous record of 62. that was setback in 2006. once rain started to come down heavily temperatures drop back down to the 60's. we will in the break a record

but will go down in the record books as a tie. 62 degrees today in early february. future weather shows rain moving out. development on the back edge as we head through overnight hours. tomorrow quiet but notice tomorrow night we have a system. this particular model keeps it the off shore but you you can see green here. if that backs just a little bit further west it could be a rain or she shower early on friday. but for your thursday the rain clears out and cooler and breeze which highs in the 50's and then big batch of cold air starts to dive in as we get into next week especially by next tuesday and wednesday. it willing down right coal. question is can a storm system take advantage of that cold to bring us precipitation. overnight, periods of rain, patchy, dense fog, be safe out there. nicer in santa clara here. we have 64 degrees. looking g partly sunny. closer to home we have sun as well. in the quite as warm. 48 degrees your super bowl sunday temperature with a 98 percent chance have of chips and dip in the forecast and then colder next week.

watching tuesday, for rain or snow shower, the at the moment we will keep you posted on. that we will send it back to you. >> sound, tasty. looking for a job? good resume and solid references aren't only thing job applicants to have worry about these days. >> a as three on your side consumer reporter jim donovan find your social media presence can play a big role whether or not you get the a job, jim. >> if i looked at your facebook or twitter feeds would i find anything embarrassing. >> um-hmm. >> it is something to consider when looking for work. like most 22 years old anita benjamin spend a fair amount of time on social media. >> i use linkedin, i use facebook, instagram, snap chat all of that. >> reporter: when the college graduate started looking for a job last year she was careful about what she posted. >> i was thinking i should definitely keep it professional because it is all on line and everyone can see everything you post. >> reporter: new research shows that is a good idea because businesses are looking. report from the society for

human resource management the find one-third of the companies have disqualified a candidate because of information found on their social media accounts. in another survey, office teams asked hiring managers the most common social media mistakes job applicants make. 45 percent said posting negative or inappropriate comments, 35 percent said posting or being tagged in inappropriate photos. >> if you are too opinionated, too negative, it can come off to some individuals that you could be a problem in the work place. >> the way that people perceive is is important. >> reporter: having a professional presence on line work for benjamin. she got a corporate job her first out of college. >> great information, thanks jim. we have breaking news right now a judge handed down ruling on whether the sexual assault case begins bill cosby can move forward. >> we will go to greg argos with the details, greg. >> reporter: exactly right, the judge just making this ruling minutes ago denying defense attorney's motion for bill cosby. that means that the prosecution, criminal charges

can go forward. once again, criminal charges against 78 year-old comedian bill cosby can go forward. i want to introduce walt hunter who was inside the courtroom as this went down. walk us through this. >> reporter: three or four minutes ago cosby showing no reaction, judge steven o'neill walking to his chair, 13 hours of hearings now over the last two days. judge very simply without any elaborate explanation only a few sentences saying that the defense motion to basically stop or derail this prosecution was denied. the prosecution would go forward. now the defense had been contending that former district attorney bruce castor had promised there would be no prosecution of bill cosby in 2005 and that prosecution was still binding ten years later. so the current prosecution should not go further. however, the prosecution team led by current d.a. kevin steele said there was no such prom is in 2005 and there was

no reason why, as happened a few weeks ago steele could not order the arrest of cosby and charge him with the allege sexual assault have of andrea constand back in 2005. over the past 13 hours we have overheard castor the former district attorney saying he did promise no prosecution, however, this afternoon for a couple of hours we did hear two attorneys for victim andrea constand saying they were never aware of any prom that is was ever made that there would not be a prosecution of cosby. so after 13 hours, there were dramatic final arguments by both sides, the defense, again saying there was a promise and in their words a promise is a promise. you have to stick with it. you have to agree not to prosecute cosby. finally kevin steele the district attorney arguing for the the prosecution that there was no promise citing various press releases and statements by castor saying there never was a promise and nothing should stop the current prosecution of cosby. after that judge o'neill going into his chambers for about 15

minutes and dramatically calling the court in just four or five minutes ago and issuing his other. defense motion denied. the prosecution against bill cosby will go forward. the next step expected there to be a preliminary hearing and other motions to be argued including a motion to remove kevin steele, the the current district attorney from the prosecution. the those motions in the same courtroom, will begin being heard this motion in a rather extraordinary evening session throughout the night. a very, very dramatic day here after 13 hours, again, in reaction from mr. cosby. he took a brief break right before the verdict where decision came from the judge. >> what you pointed out is this is not the the even. we could continue with a possible trial in the future but right the new judge is expect to go hear testimony from possibly removing current district attorney kevin steele from this case, correct. >> reporter: absolutely. the next scheduled step in this would be a preliminary hearing. preliminary hearing is to determine if there is enough evidence to take the case to

trial, that is a prime case but there are other issues for example, the main deposition that cosby gave in civil court, in civil federal court in which cosby once that deposition was unsealed made certain admission about this encounter with this woman about using drugs with her and other things that is a key piece of evidence and it is expect to be a big hearing about suppressing that major piece of evidence. >> bill cosby is inside that courtroom. you said we were preparing for the 6:00 o'clock newscast. is he or his attorneys expect to make any comment tonight. >> reporter: we were advised by court public relations people there will be no comments forthcoming from either side on this evening as far as we know and main principals, the prosecutors, defense team are still in court now arguing yet another motion the the motion attempt to have mr. steele removed as the prosecutor. >> you heard there from walt hunter, inside the courtroom, this motion, denied, by the

the judge, which means the prosecution, the criminal prosecution, against comedian bill cosby can get forward. >> and walt, greg, you guys have been there for the the last two days, would you say that this is a surprise ruling to the people you have been talking to? did they think it would go this way. >> reporter: argument basically that greg and i listened to in court there was never a written agreement. >> correct. >> there was a press release, signed by mr. castor in 2005, that this defense wanted to be seen as a written agreement. there would never be a prosecution. >> today we heard testimony from john schmidt, a long time council for comedian bill cosby and he considered that press release, that 2005 press release from castor to be a written agreement. he considered it as a possible written agreement. that was, of course, contested from the district attorney and assistant district attorney in testimony there today. >> again, from the alleged

victims own individuals in this from the very beginning from 2005 through every twist and turn off this, never a word, they testified, from castor about any grant of immunity from prosecution, then now or any other time. >> in fact delores toirani is the first she heard of this possible oral agreement is last year when kevin steele reopened the the case. no communication from cosby's attorney in a decade about this good it is worth emphasizing in terms of the dramatic impact of this or another just impact on this prosecution, had the judge granted the defense motion, it would have basically in the words of one of the attorneys stopped this prosecution in its tracks. so the fact that this prosecution is going forward is now the normal course of events but it is a major decision. >> the the judge was very careful we should mention to not allow too much evidence into this hearing. this is a very early hearing. there is, of course, no trial

set, nothing yet right now. he didn't want any evidence to taint any possible jury. there was a lot of information brought up that he paused, some of the defense attorneys and some of the district attorneys here before making releasing it as a possible piece of evidence, correct. >> let's not forget the the appellate factor here because from talking to some of the attorneys off the record prior to these two days of hearings there are appeal options on both sides. in this case it would be the the the defense who could conceivably take an appeal of the the ruling that we just heard minutes ago, that could in turn further delay proceedings, and there are numerous other appellate issues that the the the bottom line is while this prosecution is going forward i think we have just gotten a taste that it is going to be most likely an extremely complicated. >> very long. >> legal and then some. >> and a very long process here. just the beginning, of course, 78 year-old comedian bill cosby motion denied, by his defense attorneys by the judge here just minutes ago, walt hunter inside the courtroom as

that happened and that is latest from the montgomery county courthouse. >> motion denied, criminal charges can go through, walt/greg, thanks very much. stand by. we will get right back to you. all right. so... . good evening, i'm guess dean with ukee washington. we will go back out to greg argos and walt hunter in montgomery county with the latest on the bill cosby, ruling, guys? >> that is right, there jessica and ukee. just minutes ago the judge here at montgomery county courthouse, ruling in favor of the prosecution. in favor of the district attorney. basically saying that the criminal charges against 78 year-old comedian bill cosby can go forward. walt hinter was inside that courtroom at that time, and tell us how bill cosby reacted and what went down, walt. >> reporte c
