all. our comfort index, we have a dew point of 51 degrees. tomorrow will be 58 degrees. so what the the heck does that mean? well, here is the explanation for that. when you find cue point where we are right now that is pretty pleasant. as we get closer to that 60-degree mark, we will go from not bad to kind of steamy. think tomorrow is still comfortable but i think humidity levels will be increasing slightly even for several days after that. it is summertime. we are starting to get into. that we have temperatures today, unlike yesterday in the 70's, they will be in the 80's today, lower 80's, tomorrow in the middle 80's, same kind of weather though and then by tuesday, everybody is back at work school, or they just said, you know what i'm in such a summer mood i'm in the doing anything ever again. well, you will be doing nothing in 90-degree temperatures by tuesday. temperatures warm up, humidity levels start to creep up. future weather what do we see? we see nothing but sunshine.

then well in the 80's after that and much cooler at the shore. everybody wants to be out identify in weather like this. you know one of the the problems of being out identify in weather like this, tics. lime disease is in may and it is call lyme disease awareness month and as we know right now, humans get lyme disease by tics. i spoke with an expert about how we can safe guard our yards. what a great place for a chance hook up, tall grass private, in one will know. the especially you. almost impossible to see tics, these are greatly enlarged ones are desperate to meet you again this spring. >> usually it is by them brushing against things. tics dent jump or run or crawl. >> reporter: nothing about a deer tics search like hank or you you provide. crawling up stone ledges, crawling through unmode part of the yard, crawling with the potential for lyme disease according to exterminate or george who kills tics for a

resident are living in this home, hooked up a gas generator in the basement after their utilities had been shut off. generator caused carbon monoxide fumes to backup and spread throughout the home on this block but luckily a neighbor smelled the fumes and had a working co detector and as the a alarm went off she called 911. fire officials a arrived the co levels were as high as 1,000 parts per million. the the gas sickened eight people, two critically as well as several animals. two animals including a german shepherd and another dog had to be treated. one of the neighbors says she's upset because this could have been a deadly situation. >> it could have been a worse situation then what it was we all could have been dead. that is crazy. if it wasn't for my sister, and her being up and calling the fire company we all could have been dead. that is ridiculous. i don't know how people could be so reckless. >> reporter: she says her sister, niece and nephew were all taken to the hospital for

treatment. she mentioned that the resident of this home were visibly ill when fire officials brought them out last night. the cdc has called cash on monoxide poisoning a silent killer, since many time co is colorless and tasteless and claims the lives of its victims while they are sleeping. obviously here, in this case, having a working carbon monoxide detector was the saving grace here, and i'm sure that many of the residents of this block are counting their blessings that silent killer did not claim their lives last night. live from norristown, cherri greg for kyw news radio cbs-3 "eyewitness news". >> thank you. now a according to the center for disease control symptoms of co poisoning are often described as flu-like and include dizziness weakness and upset stomach. 400 americans died from co poisoning not linked to fires. homeowners are urged to call carbon monoxide detectors in

their homes. good reminder to do that. a man is dead after a crash on route 42 in gloucester township, camden county. investigators say he was ejected, from his car after missing an exiting down an embankment and crashing in the woods. a four car crash on the schuylkill expressway leaves one person dead, it happened just before 5:00 o'clock the saturday morning in the eastbound lanes of i-76, at passyunk avenue. the crash investigation tied up self lanes as police worked to determine the cause of that accident. a three on your side report now first comes a loud crash, and then glass shattered inside have of your car. many people across the country have had it happen to them. a sun roof, explosion. consumer reporter jim donovan has more on the potentially dangerous problems. >> reporter: it is an experience drivers and their passengers don't soon forget. >> i have heard like a gunshot. >> i heard a explosion.

>> i thought we just hit a meteor right. >> reporter: for peggy and john humphrey it happened on a drive earlier this month. >> it stunned us. >> reporter: i could hear air. >> reporter: driving on the highway sun roof of their toyota rav4 exploded, without warning. >> there was an eight to 10-inch hole dead center of the sun roof, and it looked like a little volcano. >> reporter: when they went to get it fixed there were no signs of the bullet, rock or anything having hit. >> they could find no foreign debris. >> reporter: same thing happened to nicki wheeler's kia opt man. >> it shattered into a million pieces. >> reporter: it happened to bak alexander's lexus too. >> glasses bode outward. there were no rocks, no bullet holes, in one beside me. >> reporter: as peggy humphrey found out. >> it is a happening with all different kind of cars in different parts of the country. >> reporter: more than 400 complaints have have been filed with the national highway traffic safety administration involving at least 13 car manufacturers. there is even a name for it,

spontaneous sun roof break age. >> it literally exploded out like a volcano. >> reporter: reek will owners have posted damage on you tube. so is what causing sun roofs to explode? well, is there several theories. first, cars are more air tight then ever which puts more pressure on the glass. while the glass meets safety standard these days it is being manufactured to be lighter and thinner. even temperature can play a role many sun roof explosions happen on very hot days when heat gets trapped between the sun roof and a closed advisor. is there a common denominator most sun roofs are manufactured use tampered glass. designed to break into tiny pieces for safety, any flaw in tempered glass can cause shattering under pressure and it happens without warning. we have seen it topple tables, shatter shower doors explode on ovens. with sun roofs, a slaw can

occur during manufacturing or from something like road debris. >> people just describe it like a gunshot. >> reporter: michael lehigh ton has been repairing sun roofs for over a decade and sees a problem often. >> five to ten a month. normally a rock chip, and then once it gets hot it just explode. >> reporter: shattering sun roofs led to recalls on certain models and audi a8 and s8 and the government is investigating the kia cover event toe for similar complaints. meanwhile, vehicle owners like john and peggy are left shaken and with a hefty repair bill of over a $1,100. >> i will never have another vehicle with the sun roof. >> reporter: toyota says it ace wear of sun roofs shattering on soy toyota and lexus vehicles but does not the appear to be a vehicle or component related issues n far car warranties often won't cover repairs since auto makers blame the damage on external forces like rocks and debris. my add rise when park, keep the sun visor opened slightly so heat doesn't build up. if you are not using sun roof

while driving keep the the advisor closed. fit does shader it won't come down on you. reporting for three on your side i'm jim donovan. >> 8:38. is there much more to come on "eyewitness news" this morning, coming up next we will check with face the nation bob schieffer for a look at today's
