i still think we can enjoy tomorrow and we'll talk about just a few chances for some showers maybe even a thunderstorm. looking back at july, the calendar days here in orange indicate the days that were above average and the blue is below average so we did start off the month on the cool side if you can remember right around the fourth of july but we finished strong with warm temperatures by the end but overall we only averaged 1.1 degrees above average for july. you would think it would be warmer than that with all the heat we've been dealing with. maybe that's kind of an impressive stat. heat wave kicked off last tuesday where we had 93 degrees. we hit 90 again today. that's day number five. avenue of average high is 87. stormstorm scan3 little disturbance in the upper atmosphere bringing a few clouds or a shower or two especially through the poconos through the evening hours. everybody else stays dry. maybe you're hit iting the phillies game, we are looking good. again no problems in south jersey along the shore points. good flight to hit the boardwalk. current temperatures still warm. mid and upper 80's, dover

delaware 86 degrees. 75 very comfortable in mount pocono. there is some cool air rained cooled air in state college at 72. mid 70's in buffalo. some of that cooler air tries to move eastward but it's really not going to happen. i think tomorrow still making a run at 90 degrees. but how is it going to feel? the dewpoint temperatures tomorrow actually really low so i'm going to call it pleasant even though it is going to be hot. humidity pretty much going to be nonexistent but it does start to increase rapidly as we head into monday and we'll see our next chance for a shower or thunderstorm coming in monday night and still somewhat on the humid side for next tuesday and wednesday but really not that bad. so again sunshine today. we hit 90 degrees. same deal tomorrow. humidity actually little bit less than what we had today. lots of sunshine into monday, noticeably more humid. we'll sao that thunderstorm chance late in the day. it's most likely at nighttime with this next cold front moving on through. highs on monday are going to be in the lower 90's. that's going to be our hot of the day out of the next seven. through the overnight hours looking pretty good.

shower or storm chances really low up in the poconos. tomorrow morning waking up with sunshine. that will be the trend through the day. mostly sunny conditions. into monday we go. again, late in the day i think that's our best shot to see a shower or a thunderstorm. temperature-wise tomorrow, again, upper 80's, close to 90 degrees for the warm spots at the shore a little bit cooler there, mid 80's with a breeze developing off the water. then we're well into the 90's monday afternoon, low 90's for the inland locations. the forecast tonight still comfortable 70 for center city, 60's in the suburbs. mostly clear skies. a hot day on sunday but not humid, mostly sunny. 90 degrees for the afternoon temperature. your shore forecast have that sunblock around, lot of sunshine water temperature back up to 71. it was in the 60's. 84 for the air temperature. southwest wind does kick up at about 10 miles per hour. extended forecast 90 tomorrow, 93 monday. storm late monday night and then tuesday still 90 degrees so that will make it an eight day heat wave. then we break that heater. thursday clouds, showers

of the deal with hamels. he pitched last night getting out of a jam in his first appearance right here. diekman spent three plus seasons with the phillies before the trade but he's happy to be moving on especially for the footwear. >> very long two days. when when i came in here i've never worn black cleats in pro ball. that's weird. so yeah, i'm glad it's over. >> so much focus on the trade deadline we've neglected the team on the field. the phillies are looking for 12 wins in their last 14 games tonight as aaron nola starts against atlanta. madness ensued at citizens bank park. the phils kicked it off with four in the first and then domonic brown hits his sector homer in two nights but it's the landing that's impressive. right into the cap of justin de fratus in the pen. phils are having fun again. they won last night by a score of nine to three. couple it? tomorrow the eagles will open training camp at the novacare complex for

what is the unofficial start of the football season here in philadelphia. and today they signed former villanova running back kevin menangia. this news will not make eagles fans very happy. hardy ponied up 300 bucks to cowboys fans who want to fly a banner over eagles training camp that says we got the division. now this is in response to eagles fans who will be flying a banner over cowboys camp that says we have demarco. so who really wins there. there's a big rivalry game in ppl park in chester as the union battle the new york red bulls at 7 o'clock. it was acquisition barnetta will be available. more than a decade. dikembe mutombo taking part in a exhibition game in africa.
