beautiful curls. >> what is the key to parenting? >> just forget what happened or why it happened. >> i would say communication, patience, tolerance. and really just love. focusing on love and the love you have for your children. also tonight, why people picked bradley cooper as their new sexiest man alive. plus, george clooney on who he would have picked. we'll have that and much more coming up later on entertainment tonight. >> okay. that's at 7:30 here on wjz 13. if your iphone breaks, calling 911 is not how you fix it. but one man thought differently. >> do you have an emergency, sir? >> yes, i do. my emergency is my [ bleep ] phone doesn't work. >> okay. the audio from the 911 call. 46-year-old michael skopeck made. he didn't just call once. he called five times. illinois police eventually went

out to his house and arrested him for obstructing an officer. he said 911 was the only number he could dial from his broken phone. >> there's a problem with that logic. congressional gold medals were given to john glenn, neil armstrong, michael collins and buzz aldron. armstrong aldron and collins were part of the crew. >> that's not the way washington works, vic. >> how well we know. it is damp and overcast. and the mercury is about to go down. >> bob turk has the first warning forecast coming up ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

here's a live look outside right now. looks like it should this time of year. but it's still very warm. >> it is warm. >> actually, today's temperatures are actually the normal high today is 57. that's where we are right now. but overnight's lows have been in the 50s. so pretty mild. take a look at radar. just few, very light echoes around the baltimore area. not a whole lot of rain. we've had rain this morning. about a third of an inch a lot

of spots. there's heavier stuff to the south of us and a lot more to the west of us. in fact, we've got a pretty good bunch of rain that is developing over west virginia, western maryland. and we'll see some of that rain moving into the area overnight. we're not done with the rain. it looks like it will probably last into tomorrow morning, before we start seeing some clearing. and there may be some heavier echoes from time to time. with 57. that that is really the normal high for the day. 100% humidity. because the dew point is 57 degrees. northwest winds at 7. barometer 29.73. and right now, it's rising. out to the west, 43 in oakland. in garrett county, tomorrow, there will probably be some snow shower activity because of colder air moving in. that's something you might want to keep in mind. 54 in cumberland. 55 in hagerstown. the warm spot, south of us, 66 in pax river. 70s in virginia. and probably thundershower activity down there later tonight. don't expect anything like that

here. mid-50s up to the north. winds right now, a little bit of a shift out of the northwest, which may help to kind of blow around the fog a little bit and clear things up a little bit. there you go. 6, 7, miles an hour. not strong winds. but tomorrow, they will get quite strong out of the northwest. once low pressure developing across georgia. we've had a few thunderstorms. some pretty gusty winds. that low pressure is going to pass south of our region offshore. and behind it, regions go behind to the northwest. here comes the chilly air. much dryer conditions. once we get into the rain, it will eventually clear out by afternoon. and chilly. highs only in the low 50s tomorrow. and cool on friday. but right behind that, a warmup just in time for the weekend. northwest winds on the bay. picking up by the small craft razory. tomorrow's bay temp, around 55 degrees. so tonight, look for rain. damp and a little rain in the

morning before it ends. but lots of clouds. then they'll clear out late in the day tomorrow. and 29 tomorrow night. >> whoo. thank you, bob. stir style to come on eyewitness news tonight. they have been forced out in other cities. so what will happen to the occupy baltimore movement? i'm derek valcourt. you'll hear from the mayor comi,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
