But first, today's weather:

Cool with rain. High: 54 Low: 51.

Here are the top three stories in Philadelphia today:

1. Plans have been approved for 425 new apartments in Bala Cynwyd, just on the edge of Philadelphia. Hundreds of new apartments are coming to a nine-acre site in Bala Cynwyd. Under the approved plan, an existing office building will be demolished. The new structure will have 25,564 square feet of commercial space with 425 residential units and 676 structured parking spaces in a wrapped parking structure. (Main Line)
2. Police have identified a suspect who injured three children and a man walking from a Vine Street daycare. 53-year-old Andre Shuford of E. Venango Street is described as a Black man, bald, 5'9" tall, and 210 pounds with brown eyes. Investigators say Shuford was driving a pick-up truck that struck Shaheed Richberg and three children, ages 5, 3, and 1. (WPVI-TV)
