>> beautiful shot of the sunshine over center city. hopefully you enjoyed time outside today, guess what, big changes are coming. good evening. i'm jim rosenfield. >> i'm denise nakano. we're tracking days of rain that could start during your morning commute. >> let's get details from first alert meteorologist sheena parveen. wet week ahead. >> we have a couple days of rain, i should say a few days bass it will go into thursday morning i think. but not just yet. here is a live look out center city. a little bit of a change right now from what we had most of today. you notice high clouds in this picture here and clouds are going to keep increasing as we go through tonight. we're going to stay dry and overnight. but there you see our next weather system to the south, two areas of low pressure here. we're going to see the clouds move in and then the rain gets here early tomorrow. so all of this is heading in our

direction. so for the morning commute tomorrow, much of the area will start to see rain moving in. here is a look at future weather. we're going to pay close attention to temperatures too. tonight we stay dry. look at tomorrow. 7:00 a.m., areas north and west at freezing. the rest of the area and parts of south jersey and delaware we expect well above freezing so this would be rain moving in by 7:00 a.m. i think it's going to be a race between the moisture and the temperatures because if this moisture holds off until the temperatures north and west can warm up a little bit above freezing, then we would have wintry mix that would be melting on the roadways. we'll have to keep a close eye on that either way we expect a bit of a wintry mix through the lehigh valley into the poconos, this is 11:00, but look at the rest of the area seeing the rain spreading in with temperatures warming up and it's not just tomorrow that we'll see the rain, we'll have another area of rain moving in as we go into wednesday and late wednesday night and along with that we're going to see gusty winds and a threat for coastal flooding.

>> thanks for being here again. what about spousal privilege? how can camille cosby be forced to testify against her own husband? >> the cosby camp tried to keep her from being able to testify. however, a massachusetts judge ruled that just because in this case you cannot talk about anything that has to do with the private communications between the husband and the wife. however, in this case she's also the business manager so she's not also under investigation for any criminal case. therefore, she can testify and they can talk to her about any information regards to his business dealings and things of that nature. >> why is camille cosby being deposed? what are lawyers hoping to learn? >> if you ask her she is saying she's being deposed to embarrass her, to make her testify and talk about supposed infidelities about her husband. the lawyers are saying that you are the business manager, so you would be able to corroborate or

deny information about the accusers in this case that maybe said you know, a particular place or time that these actions took place by bill cosby, her as the business manager would have inside information about those dates and times and places that mr. cosby was or was not. >> what about the timing of all of this? why would a judge order her to testify when there is an ongoing criminal case in pennsylvania? >> she is not under threat of criminal prosecution. now, this is a defamation case that's taking place in massachusetts. far away from the cosby case that's taking place here in our area that's a criminal case so this is a separate civil case, not a criminal case. therefore in that civil case we continue to move forward, she's not under threat of any prosecution and therefore this case can move forward. >> thanks as always for your insights. >> thank you. stick around for full coverage of camille cosby's deposition on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. that's ahead at 6:30 here on nbc

10. more than a dozen members of the centers for disease control and prevention are heading to the epicenter of the zika outbreak. they are doing a study in brazil to find out if the virus really does cause babies to be born with a devastating birth defect. the team will fan out through the country to track down babies and mothers. blood samples will help determine if they had zika before giving birth. well, the weather will be changing from what you maybe got used to over the weekend as we go through the next few days. so we have two rounds of rain that are moving in and some of this rain will be heavy, also it's going to bring gusty winds starting tomorrow and going into wednesday especially wednesday night. we do have a coastal flood threat because of strong winds are going to be strong onshore winds. right now we're seeing a little

bit of a change. clouds increasing a bit across the area. mostly high clouds. but as we go over night more clouds move in and temperatures dropping in the 30s so around the philadelphia area mostly mid to upper 30s but if you north and west through the lehigh valley you should be bottle tooing out around 30 degrees which we'll have to watch closely tomorrow morning with all of this moisture starting to move in. i'll show you that in a second. the rain we're watching for tomorrow starting in the morning was down in the southeast now. so it's still far away but we are starting to get an increase in cloud cover from it. although we are still dry. there you see more clouds down to the south. clouds are going to keep increasing and the rain will be here for part of the area for the morning commute tomorrow. so this is future weather as we go overnight temperatures drop, we stay dry and here's 7:00 in the morning. now we're looking at rain. through south jersey and delaware, temperatures well above freezing. but areas north and west through the lehigh valley by 7:00 a.m. we expect to be at or below freezing at least slightly. so it's really going to be a race between the precip and the

temperatures trying to warm up. as we get closer to 10, 11:00 in the morning. now, many models have been pretty consistent about putting maybe a wintry mix through parts of the lehigh valley in the poconos, everybody else getting rain at this point. but just be careful if you're traveling in those areas through the afternoon. the rain continues to spread up to the north and then we see a bit of a break later tomorrow evening. this is going to be in between the two weather systems that i was telling you about. so later tomorrow night and into wednesday morning, we will have a bit of a break. then by wednesday afternoon everyone should be in the 40s, possibly 50s to the south. this is wednesday 4:00 p.m., our next round of rain, some of it locally heavy and this is what it looks like wednesday night. heavy rain around the area, some spots could be in the 60s. now we're looking closer to midnight into early thursday morning. still raining a lot of this will be heavy rain and aside from that some very strong onshore winds. by 8:00 thursday morning,

finally it starts to taper down. so warm and windy over the next couple days, the rain, gusting near 50 miles an hour inland we can see gusts around 40 miles per hour. so there is a threat of coastal flooding late wednesday into thursday is going to be i think the biggest threat. but also later in the day tomorrow too. as we go thursday night into early friday the storm moves out. we start to dry up. cold air moves in so wet roadways, well, we have, again, the threat of ice especially farther north and west. of course we'll talk more about that as we get closer to thursday night and friday morning. tonight though we see the clouds increase, rain holds off. 37 for the low in philadelphia, 30 north and west, tomorrow rain moves in for the morning commute. we could see a chance of the wintry mix north and west of philadelphia so if you are in the lehigh valley in the poconos be careful for that. winds increase through the day, temperatures mid to low 40s with that rain and wind and we keep it going as we go into wednesday. again there's going to be a bit of a break between the two

systems so wednesday night i think we'll see the heaviest rain and then we clear out thursday morning. weekend doesn't look too bad. >> charlie sheen reveals his hiv status more than three months ago. his consfegs having a real impact that's coming up. and it couldn't last forever. why experts say gas prices are on the verge of going back up.

move in early tomorrow. not tonight though. but we have seen some changes through the day today. we had a lot of sunshine earlier, clear blue skies and now we're looking out at center city. you notice the high thin clouds. so the clouds are already starting to move in. that's ahead of the rain for tomorrow. so, we will be watching it for your morning commute. two areas of low pressure where you see this wet weather around the southeast. it slowly is moving up in our direction. as we start off the day tomorrow rain will be around for the morning commute. but it's not just one round. there's going to be two areas of low pressure moving through. so aside from tomorrow's rain we have another one in store as we go through wednesday. also, it's going to be windy. tonight, 7:00 p.m., 45 degrees, more clouds. 11:00 p.m., we're dry, 41. mostly cloudy. then tomorrow morning, 7:00 a.m. near 40 degrees, rain develops, moves in from the south. and there is a chance that parts of the area could see a wintry mix before everyone starts to

see the rain. so coming up i'll show you a look at that and the timing of the rain as we go into the next few days. that's straight ahead. today philadelphia paid tribute to one of its most respected journalists, the funeral for acel moore was held in germantown. moore was the first african-american reporter for the "philadelphia inquirer" and founded the philadelphia association of black journalists. >> the service wasn't just about saying good-bye, it was saying thank you. lauren shows us why. >> reporter: acel moore worked at the inquirer more than four decades enough time to make an impact but that is not what he did. his influence went so much further. filling the pews today are friends, colleagues and loved ones who knew acel moore personally. >> the number of people that walk up, look at acel, take their glasses off, wipe their eyes, that's real.

here later in the day wednesday. both will be bringing gusty winds. it's going to get windy, especially along the shore. it's going to be an onshore wind so we have the threat for coastal flooding especially into wednesday night. a live look across the area, we have more clouds moving in now than we did earlier today. that's going to be the trend as we go overnight. more clouds moving in. 52 degrees right now in philadelphia. but we are on the dry side. all the rain is down to our south so it's around the southeastern part of the country, it will be moving in as we go into tomorrow morning. now, locally like i mentioned we're dry. you see the rain down to our south. thicker cloud cover down there too. and that will be moving up through the overnight hours. then the rain moves in for the morning. so this is future weather. looking at temperatures here, too. so we go into the morning hours, 8:00, temperatures through most of the area by this time, south jersey and delaware we'll be in the 40s. well above freezing. we'll be watching sections north and worst through the lehigh valley and the poconos, the sections we expect to see a wintry mix. we'll see the rain spreading to

the north throughout the early part of the day, and there you see the wintry mix up to the north and west. the rest of the area dealing with mainly rain and then the rain continues spreading to the north by 5:00 p.m. notice how we get a break tomorrow evening. that's the first round of rain moving through. a bit of a break before the second one, and even by wednesday morning we could still be in that quieter area before more rain moves in. so now here it's 4:00 p.m. wednesday, rain along the shore, everyone above freezing. everyone will see rain on wednesday. here is wednesday night. 9:00 p.m., heavy rain, some areas could be in the 60s. and even overnight into thursday, this is a very warm air mass president can't rule out thunderstorms with this either. this midnight going into thursday morning. and then we finally start to clear up as we go into the morning hours thursday but it will be getting colder thursday night. as far as rain, looks around maybe 1.5 to 2 inches, 2.5 locally. we expect heavier pockets as we go through the next few days. it will be staying warm and

windy over the next couple days, i mentioned that coastal flood threat. the onshore winds especially wednesday night. will be gusting near 50 miles per hour. so i think we'll have a threat of flooding along the shore and after that going into thursday night and early friday morning, we'll have much colder air moving in. so temperatures here are expected to be below freezing areas north and west especially, so we could be looking at the threat for some freezing of precip. in the meantime, make sure you have the umbrella with you. for tonight, clouds increase, some patchy fog around sun rise. 30 north and west. 37 for the low tonight in philadelphia. tomorrow, rain around, moving in for the morning commute, chance of that wintry mix, mostly north and west of philadelphia. the winds will be increasing through the day gusting near 30 miles per hour. 42 to 45 for the high temperature. we keep on warming into wednesday, and especially wednesday night i think that's when we'll see our heaviest round of rain for that second system, that onshore wind with the coastal flood threat.
