edwards, karen rogers and >> good morning everyone, it's 5 o'clock on this tuesday, november 25th and breaking this morning. >> angry and outraged crowds pack the streets in ferguson, missouri to protest a grand jury's decision not to indict a police officer in the death of michael brown. >> a more detailed description of the shooting death of michael brown emerges from the grand jury investigation. >> a seasonable day is on tap. accuweather is tracking a coastal storm that brings cold rain and even some snow. >> start with the warmth of this morning with dave murphy and karen rogers. good morning. >> starting out good but the first thing i want to talk about matt is tomorrow because that's really the big weather issue of the week. we have a winter storm watch that yesterday was only up in the poconos but it has been extended all the way down to the delaware river. southeastern pennsylvania, mercer county including trenton and points north and out past lancaster. we're looking at rain tomorrow morning, probably developing before dawn in some

neighborhoods and then changing over to wet snow from the northwest down towards the line of demarcation around the i-95 corridor. right now not looking at any precipitation other than a couple quick moving sprinkles and showers down along coastal delaware. temperatures not bad. we have dipped to 57 degrees in philadelphia. 57 in allentown right now, 59 in wilmington, 62 in millville and 57 in sea isle city. and while these numbers will probably bounce back a little bit during the morning hours, it does look like generally we're going to see them slide slowly as we go through the afternoon. catching the bus this morning we're in those mid to upper 50's between 6 and 8 o'clock. partly cloudy skies and cool conditions out there. and as we roll through the day it will not be as warm as yesterday but still very seasonable for this time of year. 55 by 9 o'clock. up to 57 by noon which i think is going to be your afternoon high. we might still be on it around 1 o'clock or so but by 3 o'clock down to 54 and 50 by 6 o'clock. obviously tomorrow is a big ticket day in the weather department and we'll have future tracker 6 showing you the arrival of this

precipitation including that change to show all coming up in a couple minutes karen. >> enjoy our dry morning commute while we can. looking live on the vine street expressway near sixth street no problems here. the vine was very briefly shut down when there was some concerns that protesters might go onto the roadway. right now you can see everything opened, fine, no issues out there on the vine. looking live at 202 at 422 construction. we still see flashing lights out here partially blocking the ramp from 202 northbound to the schuylkill eastbound but we expect that to clear momentarily. we have a downed tree causing an issue in bristol, newportville road, they shut newportville road down near zimmerman lane. over in burlington county the turnpike connector eastbound we've got construction here and that's going to be blocking the left lane for about another hour or so, so you'll still see crews out there. in florence township right now 295 southbound past route 30 watch for construction here that's also causing some problems until 6 o'clock, matt and tam. >> all right, karen, thanks.

the county of ferguson missouri erupted in violence. at least 150 shots have been heard throughout the streets while protesters have torched buildings, police cars, smash edwin dose and looted stores. >> the violence broke out last night shortly after a saint louis grand jury decided not to charge officer darren wilson n august wilson shot michael brown an unarmed black teenager. police say no officers or civilians have been killed or seriously injured but looters have broken into several businesses. a number of cars have been set on fire. the police arrested after least 29 people and the violence comes after president obama urged those who were upset with this verdict to protest peacefully. >> we are a nation built on the rule of law. and so we need accept that this decision was the grand jury's to make. there are americans who agree with it and there are americans who are deeply disappointed, even angry. but i join michael's parents in asking anyone who protests

this decision to do so peacefully. >> police officials say officers have not fired a shot but the same officials say the night of violence has been the worst by far since michael brown was killed. >> "action news" reporter katherine scott is live at philadelphia city hall where people also reacted overwhelmingly peacefully to the decision in ferguson. katherine. >> reporter: matt, this decision sparked protests across the country and philadelphia was no exception. philadelphia police did have a plan in place in the event of protests. there was a large police presence and the protests here were peaceful. >> hands up, don't shoots. >> reporter: hundreds of protesters and supporters of michael brown showed their disappointment and their shock across center city last night after hearing the grand jury announcement that came out of ferguson, missouri. >> we'll get through this together. >> this wasn't even for a conviction, this was just to go to trial. so, i just think we're at a time now where we have to

change the narrative not only of what we think of ourselves but what america thinks of us, we're going to stop being murdered like this. >> reporter: demonstrators demand action against ferguson police officer darren wilson hoping the u.s. justice department will now step in. mayor michael nutter was among those to express disappointment. >> i did not hear any explanation and more importantly a justification for why that young man was shot 10 times. >> reporter: protesters marched through the streets. philadelphia police officers fanned out and received help along the way from the pennsylvania state police and the fire department. officers say the demonstrations were peaceful and that only two were taken into custody when the protesters tried to marion to i-95. police say they will be there to facilitate future protests. >> people are allowed to express themselves, express themselves loudly, intensely and that certainly was done,

certainly people in this crowd made their feelings known but that is their -- that is their absolute right to do so and our job is to make sure they have the right to do so. >> reporter: and it's unclear if the two taken into custody will actually be charged. protesters are expected out here again this afternoon around 3:00 for a march. we are live at city hall, katherine scott, channel6 "action news." >> thank you, katherine. now, the 12 members of the saint louis county grand jury have been investigating this case for more than three months. they offered details of why they didn't see enough evidence to indict officer darren wilson. erin o'hearn is live at the big board with the details on what the grand jury said but also what it didn't say s erin. >> it's a lot of unexplained issues, matt. we wanted to break down some of the documents for you. first let's show you a few new pictures of officers wilson photographed after the shooting. these were presented as evidence as well to the grand jury and you can see that this here, it's a little difficult to see in this picture but that's the most visible injury and it's located on the side

of his face. and if you take a look at this one, even with the ruler, it seems to take up the bottom half of his jaw. and this is a photograph that was never seen before of the gun that officer wilson used and during the testimony, ferguson -- during the testimony in ferguson he was asked if he had ever used excessive force before and wilson replied i've never used my weapon before. now, wilson went on to say that he did have mace on him but didn't think a nonlethal weapon would be effective. wilson also testified that his original goal was to arrest brown after identifying him as a possible suspect in a shop theft. wilson went on to say that brown slammed the police cruiser door on him and hit him two times and that wilson believed "the third one may be fatality at a if he hit me right." wilson and brown continued to charge him. wilson said it looked like he was almost bulking up to run through the shots like it was making him mad that i'm

shooting at him. that was his quote. wilson said he was unclear how many shots he fired. now, witnesses to the shoot hemoglobin said wilson continued shooting at brown even when the unarmed teenager had his hands up but the head prosecutor in the case addressed those conflicting accounts. take a listen. >> eyewitnesses accounts must always be challenged and compared against the physical evidence. many witnesses to the shooting of michael brown made statements inconsistent with other statements they made and also conflicting with the physical evidence. >> now, family had often described the six-four response teen as a gentle giant. wilson described him as an overpowering hulk hogan. i felt like a five-year-old holding i don't and to hulling hogan. that's just how small i felt just from grasping his arm. a lot of details. >> thanks. stay with "action news" and 6abc.com for continuing

coverage of the grand jury's decision and the reaction in ferguson, missouri, in philadelphia and across the nation. >> the other big story of course we're watching today is this incan coming coastal storm and what it will mean during this holiday week. >> going into it no problem. storm tracker 6 live double scan shows that you we are basically dry. there's a little bit of shower close to cape may and llewes delaware and rehoboth but that looks like it's going to skirt past you pretty quickly and not be much of an issue. as we take a look outside we're looking at a fair amount of cloud cover over philadelphia but there will be some sunny breaks today and overall we'll call eight mix of clouds and sun. starting out fairly mild, 57 degrees in philadelphia, still holding onto 62 in millville. these numbers have actually been dipping a little bit over the last couple hours and probably will continue to dip and then only bounce back to about 57 for an afternoon high today, so we are looking at cooler conditions than what we had yesterday but still probably a little above average. there's that rain i talked about off the coast. there is a fair amount of cloud cover but we will see some breaks as the day goes on and overall a mix of clouds and sun. up in allentown today, 55 is

your high, clouds and sun mixing. less wind than yesterday. yesterday was very blustery across the region and at the shore we're going for a cooler high of 62. again, less wind and that mix of clouds and sun at the shore. in philadelphia, a high of 57 degrees, a mix of clouds and sun, less wind than what we had yesterday. winds out of the west at just seven to 14 miles per hour. again this 57 is the afternoon high. we'll probably hit it early in the afternoon. technically a couple hours ago we were over 60 and that will probably be the official high of the day but just so you understand we're in the 50's today. by 11 o'clock, 57 degrees, probably holding that into the early afternoon. then by 2 o'clock we're down to about 55 and by 5 o'clock we may dip to 51 degrees as cooler air begins to come in. overnight by 3:00 in the morning in fact we could start to see some rain pushing in from the south and during our morning broadcast we very likely will have rain just rain to start out all the way up to the i-95 corridor and we go up to about 10 o'clock and we're still looking at mainly rain but after about 10 o'clock or so in the northern

and western suburbs some wet snow may start to mix in and then later in the morning and in through the afternoon we see a total changeover to wet snow. it will be a heavy wet snow that's falling in the northern and western suburbs and i actually think this could move all the way down to philadelphia by about 2 o'clock or so. and then you see how it continues right through the rush hour. that snow line dipping farther south, at least briefly, into parts of south jersey. good news is that it does look like this is all going to get out of here fairly quickly tomorrow evening and we should see improvement on roads and of course with visibility as well. northwest suburbs will quickly change to wet snow as you just saw probably by about 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning. philadelphia metropolitan area and areas close to i-95 will see rain for the morning and then during the afternoon at some point we'll get in changeover to the thick wet snow. and in south jersey and delaware, it's mainly rain with maybe just a couple of flakes at the end that aren't going to matter very much. couple models for you. the first one the european showing a coating to an inch just south of philadelphia in through parts of the city but then that one to three very close to philadelphia and then it really steps up.

i do want to show you the gfs, another model that is not nearly as goodsy aggressive with the snow and this is also a possibility. we may go lighter with the snow in philadelphia and that 1 to 3-inch band going up close to allentown with the three to six beyond that. hoping for this because the less snow we get the less problems we have on the roads. the call we're going to go for now, though, we're going to prepare you for a general one to three falling during the afternoon and early evening in the i-95 corridor. this probably produces mainly wet roads but you'll want to take it slow when the snow is coming down. the farther you step up into the northern and western suburbs the better chance of 3 to 6 inches and perhaps more compromised road conditions. for drivers i think it's rain changing to big wet flakes across most of the region during the morning and afternoon. that will reduce visibilities. the worst area along i-95 will be during the afternoon or what i mean to say is the worst timing of this will be during the afternoon near i-95 when that heavy wet snow is falling and really the best

travel is probably later at night when the whole thing is over and the work crews have been out there getting the roads in better shape. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, partly sunny and cooler today, 57. tomorrow a high of 40 with temperatures falling in the afternoon as we see that change to snow. it's mainly snow north and west of philadelphia and mainly rain south and east with philadelphia in the middle. it is all done fairly early so that by thanksgiving roads should be fine, you should be able to drive around. we're going to be in the 30's in the morning, though, and it will be on the cool side for thanksgiving. the parade probably in the 30's most of the time and a high of 42 and shoppers on black friday highs only in the upper 30's. >> okay. but you really want to have that deal. >> yes, do. >> it's 5:13. "action news" will be on earlier than usual tomorrow as we track that storm. we'll be on at 4:00 a.m. with the latest from accuweather. it is now 5:13 and we have more news coming up that you didn't see last night. a high speed pursuit out west turns into an hours long standoff on the roof of a building.
