will hold a news conference pens to make her first public comments after being indicted last week. "action news" reporter john rawlins is live at the montgomery county courthouse in norristown. john what do we expect her to say and what are others saying about her? >> reporter: hi, jim. well, if what the attorney general is going to say in prepared remarks if history is any guide only she an very small circle of confidantes know for sure. however we are told she is likely going to take questions which means things will probably get very lively. though indict the kathleen kane las vowed she will not resign so do voters care? in a decidedly unscientific sampling we asked. >> to be honest not really. i mean, if she's guilty, she should just resign. >> i mean, i should. i know that i should care more. >> reporter: but it hasn't gotten real high on your radar screen. >> not yet. i'm paying more attention to

charges cha and if they suspends her law license then she as a matter of constitutional law would become unqualified to hold the office of attorney general. >> reporter: well, should that 208 process, that rule 208 process take place it would be confidential we're told at least initially. the associated press reporting today that a supreme court official refused to say if a complaint had been filed in that matter. in the meantime, as you said, jim, the attorney general is to break her silence about all of this come wednesday. should be as we say a possibly lively situation there in harrisburg. live in norristown, john rawlins, channel6 "action news." >> thank you, john. emergency repairs were made today to fix a sinkhole that opened up in center city philadelphia. the hole showed up at 15th street near chestnut sometime overnight. philadelphia streets department is blocking the hole with traffic cones and barricades while crews work to solve the problem. one lane is opened for traffic on 15th street so you can expect slow going in the area.

>> we have some turbulent weather coming in. >> we do need the rain but the problem is it could cause a lot of problems for the morning commute tomorrow. storm tracker6 showing we have a few sprinkles here or there. nothing organized. it's cloudy. it's muggy. and the accuweather highlights will show you that it's cool today considering it's august. the high in philadelphia only hit 79 degrees. that's 7 degrees below the average high for this time of the year. the first time since the fourth of july when temperatures have not climbed out of the 70's. the fourth of july our high was only 77 degrees. now i'm tracking some heavy downpours that will be moving

through in the overnight hours and could get another round of some scattered downpours in the afternoon. future tracker showing tomorrow total when you add the morning rain with the afternoon rain, we're looking at more than an inch of rain, perhaps even 2-inches the the shore so this is going to be a soaking and it could cause some localized flooding early tomorrow morning. right now temperatures holding in the 70's. 76 degrees in philadelphia. trenton 78. millville 75. sea isle city 76 and reading 72 degrees. and dewpoints generally in the mid 60's with the winds off the ocean. satellite6 along with action radar showing what i'm watching overnight is a warm front that will be moving through and this right now is just over cleveland heading towards washington, d.c. and this does have a lot of moisture associated with it. also when it moves through, it will be interacting with what's known as the low level jet. it's a ribbon of air about 5,000 feet in the atmosphere. what this does, it adds moisture, it adds lift so this

can really enhance the storm. so future tracker showing 5 o'clock tomorrow morning don't be surprised if you hear that rumble of thunder with some very heavy downpours. around 7:30 the downpours reaching the coast, still some isolated downpours around philadelphia then we get a break in the action around lunchtime with a few breaks of sunshine but then a cold front moves through late in the day tomorrow and this likely will trigger another round of some heavy downpours and some storms. so, there are really two key times, between 2 o'clock in the morning and 8 o'clock in the morning tomorrow, a solid band of thunderstorms with heavy downpours, with localized flooding. between one and 7 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and evening, some scattered thunderstorms and the risk for these is that a few of those could have strong damaging wind gusts. it's going to be a very active day tomorrow. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow when we're in the warm sector of the storm, it will be very humid with dewpoints in the 70's. our afternoon high back up into the 80's. 82 degrees, some scattered

thunderstorms working through late in the afternoon and early in the evening. behind that cold front, though, wednesday a breath of fresh air. sunshine with a few clouds bubbling up in the afternoon. the high 85 degrees. and i really think the pick of the week will be thursday. low humidity, gorgeous sunshine, comfortable with a high of 83 degrees. on friday, we'll begin to warm things up with a high of 87 degrees. still a good amount of sunshine and saturday is our next chance of some thunderstorms, probably not widespread, isolated as a front slips through. it will be warm ahead of that system and humid, 89 degrees. sunday for the eagles preseason game, it will be sunny and warm, 88 degrees and monday here comes the heat. sunny with an afternoon high up to 90 degrees. the heat will be returning early next week and i'll have an update on the timing of the storms on "action news" at 11:00. >> thank you cecily. the mann's young people concert series came to an end today with students showcasing history through art.
