>> breaking now on "action news," masked men arm w guns awaken a young mom. they leave her newborn injuredhh during a violent home invasion. >> developing overnight, work continues at the site of the peco substation fire. two schools are closed because of the power problem. >> the morning rain will give way to sun. soak it up now because accuweather is tracking the potential of snow. good morning. it's 5:30 on this wednesday march eighth. tam is off. nydia han joins us along with david and karen. good morning. >> good morning, everybody. we have a little bit of shower activity popping through the region as karen has been showing you there's one heavier line that's now getting down close to the southern border of camden and gloucester counties clipping a little bit of burlington county. this is going to be over by the coast pretty quickly though and the rest of the stuff out to the west really looks like it's falling apart. i think what we're going to

see is diminishing rain heading toward the east over the next couple of hours and by 6:30 or 7 o'clock it's probably mainly off the coast or evaporated. after that, we'll be on the lookout for the return of some sunshine. check it out up there by pittsburgh you can a see lot of clearing on the way. pittsburgh is going to start out under full sunshine in all likelihood and i think by 9 o'clock or so we'be seeing thd that will stay with us the rest of the da part. temperatures are starting to drop. we were at 60 degrees just an hour ago. in fact less than an hour ago. i thought there would be a pretty good crash of numbers. we're down to 53 right now as cooler air is trying to work its way in from the west. however, we'll only go down to the low 50's and then start bouncing back up this afternoon as generally speaking a warmer flow of air is in play. winds are really picking up. we're up to 30 miles per hour right now in philadelphia. so, very blustery out there. hold onto the your hats especially as that cooler air marches in. here's how it's going to go today. 53 by 7 oclock. we'll break out from behind

the clouds later this morning though and get all the way up to a high of 63 by 3 o'clock and still holding the mid-50's by 7 o'clock. winds probably subsiding a little bit later in the evening. karen we're mild again tomorrow but then a cooldown with perhaps some rain and wet snow showers on friday. we'll talk about that coming up. what you got there? >> all right. wet roads and lots of problems. this accident happened overnight and it is still causing a problem. police are telling us the reason is it's involving a tractor-trailer. they have to unload the tractor-trailer. there was a fuel spill. this is all taking awhile to clear and in the meantime you can see it's completely blocking this ramp in southbound. this is the ramp from i-95 northbound to the walt whitman bridge. it's been blocked for hours. remains blocked. a number of crews on the scene with this. what you have to do is stick to 95 southbound or the schuylkill eastbound. meanwhile we've got this accident on i-95 southbound. this is right at the pennsylvania-delaware state line. it's an accident involving a truck. it's blocking the left lane. we have a tow truck on the scene so i think this one may clear pretty soon. the other one could be out

there a little while. meanwhile in the tioga-nicetown section that big fire at the peco substation from yesterday afternoon still causing some issues. so we have fox street closed between roberts and allegheny. you'll have to stick to henry avenue as your alternate. katherine scott has been live on the scene telling t us the tracts are powered by generators. still causing a big issue this morning, matt. >> thanks karen. we begin with breaking news. three masked men push a newborn baby to the ground and force the mom to the basement during a violent home invasion robbery in the logan section. "action news" reporter annie mccormick is live in northwest detectives to tell the rest. annie. >> reporter: matt, that baby is only eight days old. he remains in einstein hospital. he's expected to be okay but he did have a hard fall on the floor during that home invasion. he is remaining at einstein hospital for still a couple of hours where he remains under observation by doctors there. well, take a look at this video. this is video from the scene. this all unfolded around 12:30

overnight. investigators say ultmatelythe 9 in cash. they say that three armed masked men wearing broke througr of the young woman's home in the 4500 block of north 18th before the three men forced the 24-year-old and also two 17-year-old women that arefamile visiting to see the baby, before he forced them into the basement to ransack the home, they barged into the 24-year-old's second floor bedroom while she slept with her baby boy on her ches she pleaded with the intruders demanded she finde cash. >> at least one of the perpetrators ordered her to get up point of gun. said i'm holding my baby. that's when one of them forced the baby onto the floor by pushing the baby onto the floor which is pretty brut we'r. >> reporter: and again they made off with $3,500. she was targeted police

believe but why theyon't know. they also say that on surveillance video that they found outside of the home, there is video of four men that are running away from the home. so, they believe that even though there were three inside, one remained outside working as a lookout. for now reporting live outside of northwest detectives, annie mccormick channel6 "action news." >> must have been scary. thank you annie. also breaking an armed robbery victim was shot in the leg during a scuffle with his attackers in northeast philadelphia. it happened on the 6000 block of somerdale avenue at 1:00 a.m. the victim was moving exercise equipment from the pickup truck with two friends when the two armed men ambushed them. the robbers got away with $450. no one else was physically hurt. >> now to the latest on theco p. a fire at a ubstation yesterday afternoon still has thousands of customers in the dark including two schools. "action news" reporter katherine scott is live in north philadelphia and katherine, what's the update on repairs. >> reporter: nydia at this

point about 5400 customers are without power. that's a big improvement from last night. however, there's still a ways to go here and you can see around the substation there are still road closures. the work continues. due to the outages the philadelphia school district announced two schools will be closed today, philadelphia high school for girls and e.w. rhodes middle school. >> it's very frustrating. >> reporter: the lights were out in pat green's north philadelphia home after the fire at peco substation on westemoreland street. at its peak 36,000 customers were without power. some businesses closed early. others raced the setting sun to serve clients. >> you see how everybody else had to stop working? we didn't stop. we still here. >> reporter: the fire took out traffic lights, confused drivers left scrambling through dark intersections. it broke out shortly after 2:00 p.m. close to three hours later, the power was turned off in the substation and firefighters began knocking down the flames.

once peco made the area safe to get firefighters in, peco crews have been working to make sure customers get their power back. there's been progress but know specific time line has been given. >> bas our system we'll continue to switch in the streets, we'll still be working with backup generators whenever possible to get as many as possible back online. >> reporter: and the work continues and so does the investigation. at this point there's no word as to what caused this fire. we're live in north philadelphia, katherine scott, channel6 "action news. i didn't do in a. >> katherine thank you. delaware county authorities are worried an admitted child sex predator had other victims they're not aware of. media police say 20-year-old hugh taussig-lux pleaded guilty to 12 crimes against children. they include sexually assaulting four girls and alcohol. investigators say he preyed on children at the unpartiesst baker street apartment over the past two years. >> wikileaks presented information that it says

exposes the cia's hacking tools which would be one of the biggest breaches in the spy agency's history. the documents describe secret methods for bypassing or defeating encryption and antivirus programs on computers cell phones and even smart tv's. the white house and the officer of the director of national intelligence have declined to comment on the authenticity wikileaks files. the reportises privacy concerns obviously and the potential for international spice to tap into our same vulnerabilities in technology security. >> 5:38. time now for accuweather. another warm day ahead but better enjoy it while it lasts. >> yes, another couple of days of this and then it really gets cold for the weekend. storm tracker6 live double scan also shows us nydia and matt tat we1ave little bit of rain out there. as we take that overhead view there's that one little line that's now pushing right down to the southern border of gloucester and camden counties that looks like it's getting pretty close to atlantic county but everybody else

dealing with just some light kind of nuisance precipitation. look at how that stuff out to the west by reading lancaster and harrisburg is really falling apart. i think the bulk of this is going to be off the coast probably in another hour maybe an hour and a half and then after that we'll be on the lookout for some clearing out west. hey, no the bad. let' go ahead and get you outside on sky6 and there you see the battleship new jersey and the delaware river and clouds for no but clearing out pretty quickly this morning. 53 degrees is your current temperature. the numbers are dropping a little bit right now but stl fairly mild t and how about that wind out of the northwest at 30 miles per hour in philadelphia t other areas have winds in the teens right now. it is a rather morning. again, the rain won't last long. it looks like most of it's off the coast by 6:30 or 7:00 and look at how as soon as 7:00 we're already clearing out in the northern and western suburbs. and future tracker shows that by 10 o'clock, clouds are virtually gone across the entire region. and we are going to look at a mostly sunny day. doesn't feel or look like it right now but it' mostly sunny and dry. on the windy side today. 52 degrees by 8 o'clock.

by noon up to 58 and your high is going to be 63 at 3 o'clock this afternoon on the blustery side. high temperatures all later in the afternoon. 60 degrees in allentown, looks like low 60's to mid 60's maybe around philadelphia. down toward the shore, mid to upper 50's right along the beach.tomo. high pressure in control. warm front off to our north. that's all g a little bit breezy but on the other side of this cold front for friday, we are looking at colder air getting ready to knock into the region. friday will certainly be cooler. the weekend will be in the heart of that cold. now, as the colder air comes in on friday morning, there is the chance that we see a rain shower early but we think that the cool air aloft might bgh whe change this over to wet snow time for the morning commute. it probably would not be able to stick to road surfaces for the most part but a grassy accumulation would be out of the question if through the day you do get a heavier snow shower. the visibility could be an issue for you again. that is friday. most of that probably in the morning on friday.

63 is today's high, mostly sunny and windy. 63 tomorrow mostly sunny and breezy. and then down to 42 on friday with some rain, possibly giving way to some snow showers at times in the morning and maybe in the afternoon just a couple of additional snow showers popping up. then for the weekend, oh, my, 33 is the high on saturday. 35 on sunday. it's going to be cold. set your clocks forward one hour on saturday night and if you're headed to that saturday union homeowner you really want to bundle up for that. southern storm on sunday. looks like it's going to miss us if it did come up close enough it would give us nothing more than some light snow the way things look now. probably dry on sunday, though. >> good news there. >> yeah. >> david thank you. 5:41. a train slams into a bus full of people. next what witnesses say happened moments before the crash. >> the statue of liberty went dark for hours overnight t hear what the parks department thinks happened. karen. >> wet out there. you can see the roads are wet. we've got the raindrops all over the camera lens. i think we need the windshield wipers right here.
