for us today. these temperatures are coming up, though. 73 degrees in wildwood now. we have 68 in millville, 69 degrees through philadelphia at the airport, 65 in allentown, 61 in the poconos, this is perfect time in the morning to get outside, do whatever you want to do, it is the coolest time of the day right now. we will be finding temperatures climbing into the upper 80s. yesterday it was 83. so, why don't we add about 5 degrees to that. add couple of degrees maybe in the humidity department, as well, today, but still very acceptable and very comfortable with this high pressure system where it is right now. but it, doesn't stay therefore ever. they never do. they move off. then when they do, then the air comes up from different direction little bit. and this is going to be coming up from a more southerly direction. that will start to increase the temperatures, and the humidity, and then sandwich us in really next to that cold front. so that cold front has varying timing, depending on the computer model you look at, and if it comes through earlier we get rid of the weather problems sooner, if it hangs around off to the west

little later, we keep conditions sort of up and down and questionable, as we go through the next couple of days. just know the one thing that's guaranteed heat and humidity will definitely be returning for monday and tuesday, and wednesday. that's a look at the future weather. you can see as we put this into motion, today by 11:00 looking at the clouds moving out, maybe one or two later on this afternoon, brief, brief light shower trying to move through here, oh, early in the overnight time period this morning. tomorrow morning, not so sure that's going to happen. but this computer model thinks it is. now, by the time we get to tomorrow, do we see couple of showers here? this one is already backed off on bringing those showers in earlier runs had that bringing some showers through the reading area, by tomorrow afternoon. but, this one says no, it is waiting until tuesday. so just watch for this time period, that's really tuesday, wednesday, thursday, when we start to look at these chances of showers, and thunderstorms. otherwise, 88 degrees, sunny,

comfortable today for the most part. 08 degrees at the shore. eighty-five in the poconos. warm, temperatures obviously, so keep cool. you will probably be turning those air conditioners back on again. fans, with the windows open, so, stay cool, keep those pets as cool as you are too. and then the sunny skies, today, give way to clear skies tonight. 68 degrees. still very, very nice out there. next couple of days, though, looks moran feels more like summertime. ninety-two on monday, 93 on tuesday, wednesday, 90 degrees, and several days at least of at least a chance after shower or under this earl storm, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. looks like by next weekend, we're dry again, and sunny. you know, you can stay on top of the forecast by download g the new cbs philly weather app. just click, check your live radar, get severe weather alerts, and you can send us any of the weather pictures that you take. it is available now, in the app store. nicole? >> carol, thank you, 85:00; let's check on the roads with ann. >> good morning, nicole.
