to high pressure generally inl for many, many days ahead. so another look for you. we have the local zoom on storm scan3. little blip on the radar right there. generally it is a handful of clouds for most of you and we haven't had to deal with wet weather at all. you can see some of the cloud cover when we throw the satellite over top of this where that came from in the first place. meanwhile high pressure is taking control here and it looks like it's going to have the opportunity to keep control for most of the next seven days. even though there's a lot of activity going on in the atmosphere off to the west, one thing that we can point out to you is one little pocket of wet weather here north of the canadian border over the montana border here into the canadian prairie. that turns into our next cold front and even that cold front is going to be kind of wimpy in terms of what its impact will be. everything else off to the west gets stuck because of the movement of the atmosphere. there's going to be essential al roadblock that sets up. so, that means really nice weather for us as a result. for now we're looking at

gorgeous weather for tomorrow, full sunshine, nice and warm for you, great grilling weather, soccer weather, you know any kind of activity you have got going on throughout the day. you're looking good here. so, get outside. if you don't have the opportunity to get outside and enjoy tomorrow you will have many more opportunities down the road. so, here's what's happening. high pressure again keeping control right through monday. another beautiful start to the week for you here. low to even mid 80's both monday and tuesday. but here comes that front we just showed you all the way up over canada, that starts to drop in as you look ahead to tuesday and that's when our next chance for wet weather comes along. meanwhile allergy sufferers listen up. this is going to be a heck of a week for you because we keep those pollen levels awfully high where we don't have wet weather to wash it away. make sure your meds are ready to go, the level is high especially monday and tuesday at least for the next three days. i have a feeling they'll stay high for most of the next seven days. that said off to a mild start

though right now. you're currently at 73 degrees in reading in philly in trenton, down the shore it is a lot cooler by comparison. and more than anything it's because we still have an on shore wind flow here helping to just bring in the influence of the cooler open ocean water. that means you're stuck in the 50's but it's still pretty decent evening for folks at the shore points and it will stay that way. here's another live look. more blue sky in the distance ago we overlook the genesis bay outside cape may courthouse in middle township high school specifically where there's an observation site located and we're in at 50 degrees there. getting a little bit warmer the further inland you go. big race tomorrow and that is the broad street run and i got to tell you this is great running weather. full sunshine, 8:30 in the morning you're already at 64 degrees and we just keep that theme going throughout the rest of the afternoon. so for now we'll back it up to the overnight. just a handful of clouds. comfortably cool. you know, you might be able to get away with those windows contractor tonight because the

wind is nice and calm and you don't have to worry about any humidity. good sleeping weather really. 53 degrees the nighttime low. we look ahead to tomorrow where the high spikes to 80 degrees, good stuff, 10 solid degrees above the average but you want the good stuff. let me show you the seven day. this is the really good stuff. check this out. 84 under sunshine on monday, a real dose of mid june really there. on tuesday we're shooting for 82. that's when that front comes along, brings in just a quick little shower or thunderstorm, nothing major with that and it barely knocks our temperatures back. only talking upper 70's on wednesday then we rebound for a three day stretch of 80 degrees. when is the last time we've had a nice forecast like this? i can't tell you. >> i can't either. >> i'm going to look back in the books here. >> it will probably take you a while to find it. >> i have a feeling it l i'll work on that. >> okay: appreciate that. it could not have been a more perfect day for the rittenhouse row spring festival it kicked off at noon between broad and 19th. more than a hundred booths
