baby boom right now. the number of babies born in the u.s. is on the rise for the first time in seven years. could this have something to do with a really cold winter? ponder that. preliminary figures show there were 53000 more babies born in 2014 than the year before. most to women in their 30's. teen births hit another historic low even though the experts expected that statistic to level off. kimberly: a mother in indianapolis is part of that trend, but she has a pretty unique delivery story. jonathan: this woman is extraordinarily tough. she actually delivered her own baby. firefighters say she was on her way to the hospital tuesday morning when she realized not going to make it. so she pulled over called 911. 30 seconds before the first responders got there she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. >> she was amazing. sweetheart. she did an amazing job. she was nervous. keeping her calm. an amazing job. >> the other part of this the woman's two other children were in the car at the time. they got to witness the birth of their new baby brother.

doug: there is no normal weather. extreme and not extreme. back to you. let's talk about bill for a minute. the second tropical storm at last report is a depression but probably not that any longer. this is the radar representation. i weakening over land. but you can see this over northeast texas and the heavy rain to oklahoma. it has a healthy picture. it's destined to move northeast in the next couple of days. the latest center is not far 130 miles or so northwest of houston south of the dallas metro. i will move northeast. as it does the winds will not be a feature at all. it will stretch from the midatlantic over the weekend and it could increase the rainfall totals. take a look at the totals today. over 5.5 inches in rockport texas. 5.25 in decatur texas.

the initial computer estimates get through 4:00, or 5:00 7:00 on thursday afternoon. we are talking six inches or more. seven inches over oklahoma. it will push off to the northeast. our question and forecast paradox is will the bullseye of the rain affect us this weekend and staying north? we think it will stay north. but the showers and the thunderstorms at times over the weekend will stay in touch with us because the weather could indeed affect the weekend plans. scattered showers this evening. hit or miss. the future cast, the computer simulation shows a warm front tonight. tomorrow, a little sunshine. warmer, more humid scattered showers and thunderstorms. the front will come through and dissipate or become stationary to the south as we get in the weekends. that may actually attract funnel the moisture. no offense to the pennsylvania friends but better then than here for the weekend.
