from philly on southeast, heck even miler than that into dover or wildwood right now, but as we time the rest of the system out for the next few hours primarily scattered showers, but the steadiest rain likely will be coming in around the time the kids are getting out of school, maybe you are hitting the road for the p.m. rush. expect you will get slowed down by this. thankfully we do see things clear out pretty quickly overnight. but, we are eventually going to see nice little warming trends take effect as well. much more to cover in the forecast, we that later in the show, thanks so much, katie. villanova university student who is accused of taking videos in public rest rooms is now out on bail. authorities refer to what 19 year old vincent cane did as up skirting. police allegedly found more than 50,000 similar images, and videos, in kane's off campus bedroom. villanova student we spoke with are understandably concerned. >> i felt like discussed honestly someone would actually do that. i go to a school where i expect people to be courteous,

07 degrees, but not too bad if you have any door plans, maybe halloween parade, looking pretty good. no warning, no hearing. it's a lending practice sorcing outrageous, most states banned it. but at the bank founded by pat toomey it was business as usual. forcing small business owners out of their homes. toomey even used his power in the senate to help himself, voting to gut rules that protect us and crack down on big banks. pat toomey. out for himself, not us. dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising.

>> i saw her one time out the side the office at a restaurant, and she came by my condo once. >> came by your condo once? >> maybe twice, i think it was twice she came by. >> okay. >> once again, i want to make this clear. there is nothing unusual about someone coming by my condo. a lot of people did. so, you know, people have made some spending lakes about that, meaning something special, but, you know. >> well, were the police making something out of that? trying to? >> trying to, absolutely, yes. >> yes. >> yes. they were trying to make something out of everything they could. >> condit breaks his silence granting his first interview in 15 years. doctor phil joins us live to talk more about the interview. doctor phil, why is gary condit speaking out now? what's he hope to accomplish by writing this book? >> well, rahel, this was a story as you know wall-to-wall coverage on every media outlet. and this was the summer leading up to the 9/11 attacks. and it was wall-to-wall on

nine/ten, and then went away on 9/11, so people never new what happened in this drama. they never new what the outcome was. and, gary condit's children really encouraged him to tell the rest of the story. they spent six years working on a book called actual malace. this is the first time the congressman has sat down in 15 years and given an interview. and at the time he wouldn't speak to the media, and he talks about a lie that launched a thousand lies, because law enforcement lied and said he did not cooperate, that he stone walled them. that was a lie and he has proof of that because he had stenographers in those meetings, and he said that started a fire storm and he tells what really happened. and this is no holds bar interview. i ask him everything. did you have a relationship with her. did you have a sexual

relationship with her. did you give her gifts. did she come by your condo. all of the things that people want to know about what happened i asked him and he answers those questions. and when this interview is over, people are not going to have one unanswered question about what happened in the shaundra levy murder case. >> what's his life-like now, doctor phil? >> doctor phil: well, at this point, over the 15 years, there has been some really dark times. there truly has. he has had some difficult times. but i have to say, the family is intact. he's still with his wife. his kids are around him. he is not in public life at this point. he's working behind the scenes as a consultant doing legislative work. but he has come through it. it has taken a massive toll on him. but he's intact. he's come through. and he's doing pretty well, all things considered, that this was a huge character

assassination, some of it he brought on himself, but it was a huge assassination. >> doctor phil, this is major, we will be watching, congratulate you, i went to new york to cover it, so we're real excited for you. >> thank you so much. >> and you can catch doctor phil today at 4:00 p.m. right here on cbs-3 followed by "eyewitness news" at five p.m. and 6:00 p.m. >> the worlds series moves to wrigley field tomorrow night with the cubs in indian's tied at one game each. the cubs opened the series last night in cleveland. kyle, knee injury, forced him to miss almost all of the regular season, had two rbi's on the night. keep in mind, no designated hitter at wrigley field. jake held the indians without a hit into six inning. cubs won the game five to one. >> more to come. over there, over here, some rain coming? >> indeed. some of have you already actually been dealing with this, now, for many hours been pretty light rain, but been

persistent. really just need cold front to wipe through our hands clean and be done with it, will take few more hours, bear with us, rest of the day not looking awesome. i don't think you are talking about a deluge necessarily, but it is very dreary, even if it is not raining right now, and once it does start raining either light rain within that, there could be some heavier pockets, perhaps a rumble of thunder along the way, too, but kind of run of the mill system. all things considered. let's take you outside. show you what's happening. one of the pocono cameras, like this shot for couple of reasons, first off, the lake, you can see, kind of dreary obviously off in the distance, you can tell there has been some rain in the area, still is, in fact, some rain in the area, i also like the fact you have the fall foliage right in n the for grounds here, beautiful colors to the trees, off in the distance, just dreary fall afternoon, that's unfolding for us here. meanwhile, to one of our far southeastern cameras we go, live neighborhood network, outside middle township high school, very gray sky, one spot been devoid of any wet weather so far. pretty decent breeze thaw, in

advance of the cold front that's on the way. you're at pair of five's currently for the temperature there, and the winds beginning to pick up. that's also going to be theme of the forecast through tomorrow. but, this is the system that we need to cross through, pretty heavy moisture, off to the northwest, really just dealing with the cold front passage, but again, there is some moisture to work with, so we could end up with heavier rain pockets within what's going to fall. you see that reflected pretty well here as we take a look just at the travel for the next few hours, you are out and about, the kids are coming out home from school on the bus, this is going to slow you down, some heaviest pockets of rain here, region wide, essentially, right through three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 9:00 perhaps even, here tonight. then, it starts to clear out. kate might even still have something to track come 11:00 tonight on "eyewitness news", but regardless this system itself will be pushing through, we clear it out pretty rapidly, and by 6:00 a.m. tomorrow, we should have nice clear sky. but the winds will be picking up. take a look, 3:00 p.m. this afternoon, already going to see gusts that perhaps even climb into the 30's, that continues through the

overnight. maybe couple of oddball 40 plus mile per hour gusts to report. before it is all said and done, through the day, the hours tick by on friday, with wind gusts that again peak as high as the 20's if not 30's, so very blustery, secure anything you need to, whether it is on the patio or the front porch, if you have couple of pumpkins, maybe light weight ones made out of not sure what the material is, but very light weight. i found a a lot of pumpkins, winds blowing them off the porch may want to seep them secure, eventually we see not just the wind taper off but the temperatures rebounds, that's because the jet stream lift north by this weekend, wonderful timing right? look at this, saturday is lovely, some sunshine, high hits 70, we get new sunday, high of 67. this is when the next front comes along as we mentioned earlier on, watch for shower from that specially late in the day. halloween itself though looks nice, crisp, sunny, beautiful, call it spooky sunshine. high hits 60, yes, looks like it is ready for trick-or-treat that

>> it sounds terrifying, you are a wake, but unable to move, and you may have even hallucinations. now, health reporter stephanie stahl explains sleep paralysis, what causes it, and how to avoid it, that's coming up today at 5:00. >> that is really scary. the museum of the american revolution is adding yet another one of a kind exhibit. >> this time, it is a two story tree, inside the museum. it is reproduction of so-called liberty tree under
