a donation and take a stand for hope. >> oh, boy. i'll say. we need to irradicate that disease. looking right now, our weather watchers are loving the wet they are morning. and you can see they have already let me know what their temperatures are but they also, they can't be silent, they've got comments to make. here is 55 degrees temperature that robin out in haunt laurel says, absolutely gorgeous, i think she is referring to the weather, though. best morning yet of the spring and summer. and it very well may be. it is so nice. any of these comments that you find out here, everyone of them people are just, jerry naught king of prussia, warm day, cool nights, now that is good weather. every other comment is a very same thing. and you're probably making your own comment about how just phenominal this weather is. let's take a stroll, shall we? we walk over, maybe we can zhitnik to one another on the beach? could you put any suntan lotion on my back? as we saw in a story, very
7:46 am
hard area, and the suntan lotion on, and area you can get some sunburn and today i think is a ripe day for sunburn, because we will be looking at lot of sunshine, yesterday, i know, how bad it was, i heard from so many people how bad it was down at the shore yesterday with all of the rain that you saw specially, through cape may county. but, today, trying to make up for it. and the beach empty right now, because it is cool, temperatures are in the 50's at this point. but they'll be warming up. we have storm scan3, still on the wide view. notice the philadelphia area, nothing much going on, this is the weather-maker that you'll see in several forms coming up. see it on graphic blue line, and then you will see it as we go out in time. and put the progression of this through the area. that is in just what ten seconds. sixty-three in philadelphia, 56 trenton. 61 degrees down in wilmington this morning. we've got temperatures in the 70s today mostly sunny skies perfect day i mention the blue line, that you saw through chicago. well, here it is, on this map.
7:47 am
and you can see as we go through time, we find it moving through the philadelphia area, as it does so we change from our ideal weather today in the upper 70s, into the middle eight's wean start to pick up a shower and thunderstorm chances. here we go. computer model says oh, couple of clouds maybe later this afternoon, to the north. but still just sunshine, beautiful looking day. very comfortable temperatures. by the time we get to monday afternoon, still not looking bad here. the humidity is starting to pick up monday. then some showers, and some storms, start to break out. you can see with the bull's eye look that there could be downpour or two associated with some of those. some of the areas to the north, maybe get few more than areas to the south. but i think we do definitely get into some of this rain, this is a look at monday at 11:00 at night. by the time we get to tuesday early in the morning things dry out for bit. and then we watch maybe some more showers breaking out in the area. so monday, tuesday, i think are the two days at this point that you will be watching for precipitation. and increased chances of
7:48 am
humidity, and also maybe even a thunderstorm. computer doppler estimates going out into time, say the heaviest rainfall out of this next batch should probably be well to the north of the philadelphia area, though, if you get thunderstorm, you can always get a downpour. looking at temperature of 78 in philadelphia, shore 68, the poconos 72 degrees. these temperatures, can you imagine, how many people would live here if we had temperatures like this year around? oh, just unbelievable. moderate risk of rip current going to the beaches just watch for, that as you put your foot in. 68 degrees, the beach today very high, uv index so, high risk every sunday burn. 78 degrees, and high risk that you don't want to come back inside the house all day long. just perfect looking out there today. tonight, 62 degrees, mostly cloudy partly cloudy later on and then monday, sun clouds showers thunderstorms, later on in the day. same deal on tuesday. wednesday, 86, with some sunshine, and thursday, and friday todd, 90 degrees. i believe that weather
