today. few clouds, possible, and then it is also possible that you get just some heating of some of the higher terrain. you could be getting very stray and quick little shower, and that would be probably from the lehigh valley and points north, if you see that. there is no guarantee that that's going to happen at all. because high pressure is here, generally, that is the policeman that keeps everybody on their best behavior, i think we will be find that for most areas this weekend, i think the most wonderful thing about the weekends, the dew points are low, so humidity will be low, and it will be low again tomorrow, even though the temperatures won't be all that low it, will feel a lot better than it could when temperatures there mid to upper 80s, we will be finding over the next couple of days. then watching for the weather to start to change, not so much on monday, though, the humidity comes up little bit. these showers and the thunderstorms, starting on tuesday, and we may be finding couple of days of chances of that. our computer model out into time, i mentioned those brief stray light showers, up through the poconos, by this

afternoon. if you see one, that's all it would be. otherwise, by the time we get to monday afternoon, might be finding more in the way of clouds monday afternoon. and then starting on tuesday we could be finding even period of heavy rain or thunderstorms, coming out of the system that comes here on tuesday. maybe even wednesday and thursday, another return to that. otherwise, let's not get ahead of ourselves. we will talk about this weekend. we've got dew points right now about 56 degrees. we will be finding them maybe even falling a couple of degrees, which makes it even more comfortable. so, we are in the awesome range, and the pleasant range, for how comfortable it will be this weekend. 86 degrees, could you see 87 in a couple of spots? it is possible, with sunshine, at the shore. around 80 degrees, and in the poconos, 82 degrees. mostly sunny skies. so this is a win-win every place. temperatures today, right where they are supposed to be, not anywhere near the record of 97 setback in 1963.

so, our temperature, 86 degrees, winds out of the east, say, 5 miles an hour, and then tonight, 64 degrees, comfortable night ahead. then as we go up through the next couple of days, it is 87 degrees tomorrow, it is 87 on monday, and then we start to get into the 90s, and we will be finding that. so just know chances of some showers maybe even thunderstorm as we get through that tuesday, wednesday, earlier on thursday, friday at this point looks dry, but if we get any coastal development off the mid-atlantic coast that might change. but, for now, nod a bad -- not a bad forecast though a warming one. >> looking like summer, carol, thank you. several airlines recently reported better profits, but leading travel organization claims the airline industry could be doing even better, if travelers weren't so fed up with the flying hassle. cbs news correspondent jericka duncan has more. >> reporter: americans say they are getting more frustrated with air travel. steve woods, flies regularly, knows why.
