you are below 60 degrees, 50's for most of southeastern pennsylvania, that's a good hair night folks. the air is just so, so dry outside. it feels great. for mid-july that's not bad. so currently our dewpoint again at 55 degrees in philadelphia. and on our comfort index it's pretty awesome here. pleasant conditions for you outside and we're going to keep that theme going into tomorrow. temperatures should drop off to the mid to upper 60's about 70's degrees in philadelphia through the overnight but comfortably mild. not oppressively mild like we've recently seen. meanwhile in just about, oh say 45 minutes or so the union are set to take on portland here in chester and we're talking low 80's, still some sunshine as they kick off here just down the i-95 corridor and then looking ahead to tomorrow, the sun is back all day so it's a hot summer day but still not terribly humid. it could be so much worse. 91 degrees with low humidity. doesn't happen all that often. so, let's enjoy that while we've got it but again sunblock required. going to be an awful scorcher

for us tomorrow. looking into the forecast, by monday evening we start to see that next warm front moving in and that is going to bring us our next shot for showers or thunderstorms. so, we'll have to watch for that and i do think that even tuesday and wednesday features shower or a thunderstorm because it looks like that front kind of gets hung up for a day or two. so that's the prognosis at this point for the middle part of the week but it's looking good. we keep the temperatures basically seasonable for the majority of the forecast and we should start to clear things out looks like by thursday. >> not a bad week overall. >> absolutely. if we can get the nice weather on the weekend it's good. >> tomorrow is going to be gorgeous. >> absolutely. >> sun is back. as we told you earlier in the show published reports say that the sixers joel embiid will likely miss the entire season because he needs a seconds surgery on his right foot. sixers beat reporter for the inquirer keith pompey broke that story today. the team said last month that embiid had a setback in his
