afternoon have died. twenty year old zaris ross win son, six year old perez, seven week olds baby girl in the car, apparently in critical condition. police say that baby girl was the only person in that car wearing a seatbelt. so, you have a situation where the roads are west, more people are in that car than it was likely meant for. and police say only one person was wearing a seatbelt. >> if everyone was restrained, clearly would be less severe injuries for sure, and maybe not anybody killed, but we really don't know because you can still get an internal injury from a crash like that. but it is always advise today wear a seatbelt, always, especially with children like that, it is never, ever advisable not to have the children strapped in, or an adult. >> now we had seven people in the first car, two people in the other car, police say, they have been able to speak to those two people. they say they're conscious and speaking, but remember, very

to the north, we are however starting to see clouds break a little bit. as more and more sunlight pops through the rest of the afternoon, we will have bit more instability to work with to potentially bring maybe more showers if not even locally strong thunderstorm which we'll discuss. then second disturbance that will be moving up our way here, so by tomorrow, actually even as early as tonight, we start to see new round every wet weather moving in over spreads the radar, so essentially a soggy week, with breaks along the way. here's that first system, that retreat, then the next guy comes along, bringing additional showers specially overnight tonight, and tomorrow morning, it looks like right now. but there will be showers around really any time, and temperatures take a hit as a result. technically sit between systems wednesday. >> this right now looks like the best day of the next five. we call it partly sunny, but we are seeing very likely passing shower along the way, as well, then headed into thursday, another storm comes along, that one looks like it might try to meander over the area for couple of days, so taking a look at the rain chances here today, it is more

like a half and half kind of forecast, but tuesday and thursday, those are the days that i would highly suggest the umbrella, just pack it in your work bag, and be glad that you did. now, later on today, we actually sit across southern delaware and the southern most tip of new jersey in a slight risk for severe weather. if we get enough sunlight heads create the instability for scattered shunned err storms granted but locally strong, gusty winds, possibly small hail. so something we have to watch. if you are with us earlier on this morning, thanks for watching first off, but a shot we showed you from bernville in the live neighborhood network, totally socked in in the fog. that's starting to change. at least you can see off in the distance here, kind of dreary afternoon unfolding though right now at beach patrol headquarters, margate city really everywhere he will. temperatures are held back in the mid 50's as a result right now. we think as soon as the sun pops have a chance to spike nicely on the thermometer to pretty seasonable seven open degrees daytime high. now again, watching for showers tomorrow, have the umbrella, wednesday little bit after break, thursday, have

the umbrella, still looks kind of soggy even on friday, but, of course, we've got race for the cure coming up here by sunday and at this point, guys, i think the timing is good. even though there will likely be showers looks like the day starts on a dry note. so that's at least the timing right now. >> so maybe everyone will have their fingers crossed, cross the finish line, then the rain will pour down. >> we can hands thal. >> and then time for brunn: thanks, appreciate it. >> president obama isn't the only family member of the first family thinking about life after the white house. >> malea obama will attends harvard university. but she will first take a break, january crawford with the story from the white house >> malea obama spent more than half her life as first daughter, now preparing for new role, college freshman. before heading to harvard, obama's oldest daughter wait and take a gap year. >> it gives her a little bit of space between being malea owe bamm at first daughter,
