this seems to be date we were waiting for it to get really saysly hot. >> be careful. >> not looking forward to but having to deal with regardless and looking ahead to and planning for it. this is really the hottest day i would say in terms of you factor in not just the heat but also the actual humidity here, too. it actually already feels like it's into the triple digits in a couple of spots here. flirting with that already in few spots. so we're just at noon and still got some time to kill here. let's take look outside at storm scan3. the reason he want to show you this region wide zoom you see those speckles of green firing up over the virginias just a little hint of activity on the radar even extending into portions of maryland and delaware right now. so if you are per happen traveling through delaware we mentioned this earlier in the show you might see a quick shower don't be surprised by that but generally rest of the us are dry. look at the well defined occur cher on this guy. serious storm system brewing across the central canadian

prairie right now. trailing frontal boundary with that not really showing too much precipitation right now but this is actually the frontal boundary going to help wipe away the humidity for our area. not the heat rather the humidity. we'll explain. let's get you through the severe weather threat that comes with this not for today rather this is for tomorrow. that front needs some time before it's going get here. at this point the storm prediction center only has us in marginal risk for stronger thunderstorms. in other words, lowest level of totem pole, however that might get upgradeed to a slight risk we'll have to keep an eye on it regardless any storms that ignite tomorrow are generally in the second half of the day and they're primary concerns will be downpours gusty wind, perhaps some frequent lightning we'll keep an eye on that. here we go when you start to see magentas showing up on the map you know it's hot outside. feeling like the century mark in dover, delaware. feeling like our projected daytime high already here in philadelphia. and much like the 90s almost everywhere else. in addition to the excessive heat warning we talked about air quality is also an issue. most of the delaware valley is

included here and it's specific specifically for un -- unhealthy for sensitive groups so you fall into the category of kids, the elderly, maybe you suffer from respiratory illnesses asthma, something like that, this is one of those days that's going to bother you. so be prepared for that. seek out the air-conditioning when you can. but if you're trig to beat the heat and you really want to get outside a good placing to look at the folks out here beach patrol headquarters definitely pit putting a lot of umbrellas up as you can understand it. it is a hot afternoon even at the area beaches but certainly the best place to head if you are trying to beat the heat or find a pool near you that's good place to go, too. mostly sunny at the beaches in the meantime. there is the moderate risk for rip currents. keep that in mind. we always say swim near the lifeguards today it's important to do so. still very soupy tomorrow. but then those storms come through. it's still hot from friday and i don't know but at least the humidity gets wiped clean at least for a short time. >> something to look forward to in that regard.
