average high is 85. the record high is 97 set back in 1916, so yes, it can get hot this time of year. don't worry we'll make a run at 90 degrees again if you like the heat. temperatures right now still looking pretty good, low and mid 80's at the shore, some spots in upper 70's as the wind starting to switch out of the northeast. that's coming across the water cooling things down. the dewpoint is 47 degrees right now. haven't sheen lately and that's off the charts as far as how it feels. it feels better than awesome outside right now so enjoy it. quiet on stor storm scan3. nice finish to the weekend. temperatures again tomorrow in the mid 80's, low 80's at the shore and 70's in the poconos. check out the seven-day forecast coming up in a few more minutes. natasha, back to you. >> justin thank you so much. eagles fans could get their first good look at sam bradford today. the quarterback is set to make his eagles debut against the ravens in just about an hour or so. our pat gallen is live at the linc where anticipation is building. hey there, pat. >> reporter: hey, natasha. you're absolutely right about that.

we just saw sam bradford run out of the tunnel onto the field behind me so he is active tonight as is demarco murray. we don't know how much he'll play but everyone in this city looking forward to seeing what sam bradford has to offer as the starting quarterback. i got a chance to catch up with merrill reese the voice of the philadelphia eagles and he talks about what he's expecting to see from sam bradford. >> i watched his movement in practice and he looks very agile. he has to run for his life but he moves in and out of the pocket, he looks very relaxed. that's what i want to see. i don't expect to see sam bradford tonight in mid season form. 'cause that's unrealistic. he hasn't been in a game in over a year. and that was last preseason. but i'd like to see him into shape and when the season begins september 14th in atlanta, theny then i want to seat real sam bradford. >> reporter: another guy we would like to see on the field and we haven't yet is demarco murray the high priced running back that the eagles brought in.

i would like to see him tonight. >> i'll tell that to chip. pat wants to see demarco. >> reporter: not just pat but the entire city. >> we would, we would. but the thing is i'm not worried about demarco murray. here's a back who had 500 touches last here in dallas, 1845 rushing yards. if they wave at him f-they give him a nice comfortable chair to lie on, if they bring him in and out of the locker a couple of times this preseason that's enough. >> reporter: yeah, demarco murray we'll see if he takes the field. chip could pull fast one on us. he is that high priced free agent running back that we have been looking forward to seeing and sam bradford as well. the defense will get a test tonight. joe flacco of the ravens expected to get a few series. it should be an interesting evening at&t as the eagles take on the ravens. live from lincoln financial field, natasha. >> thank you pat. we appreciate it. get all your eagles news 24 hours a day. just head to our web site

lawmakers was captured in july after a group called the center for medical progress released under could have been footage that showed planned parenthood executives discussing body part preservation. >> a lot of people want that part these days. >> reporter: the issue at hand surrounds the funds ocean changed for the tissue. >> i would say probably anywhere from $3,200 depending on the facility and what's involved. >> reporter: the law condemns the sale of body parts but planned parenthood responded by noting that there small fee for fetal tissue and organs only covers the cost of a practice valuable for "scientific research with consent from patients none if this benefit." >> it doesn't even matter to me about profit. it matters to me what they're doing to this human being. >> reporter: though pennsylvania's health department claims no involvement with this fetal tissue exchange it added that donations of this kind are legal and deemed important for research by its department republican legislators have

called this investigation by the state incomplete. alternatively delaware's health department has opted not to look into this saying they do not have a tissue donation plan with planned parenthood. >> planned parenthood released this statement today. it reads in part -- now, the calls for justice are growing louder and louder in the case of a south jersey man shot and killed by police during a traffic stop. this comes just after a grand jury decided not to indict the officers involved. "eyewitness news" reporter steve patterson is live in bridgeton cumberland county with the latest. steve. >> reporter: natasha, this was a mission statement from the people who were sitting over my right shoulder, people

who are friends, family and now advocates for jerome read who say justice has not been served in this case then will not rest until it has been. want to take you back to december when this all started. we can show you video from december 31st, 2014. it was there that two bridgeton police officers pull over jerome read at a routine traffic stop. soon then the situation escalates. one of the officers pulls his service weapon and tells read to put his hands up and to stay state. his partner recovers a weapon from read's car while this is happening but police are again still trying to keep him calm telling him to stay still and keeping his hands up. then police fire at least eight shots and those shots are shots that end up killing read during this incident. so, wednesday a cumberland county grand jury decided not to indict those two bridgeton police officers raheem days and roger worley were not

indicted last week. this all leads to us today, again friends family activists questioning the cumberland county prosecutor's guidance in that case to the jury as well as the decision they say has left them heartbroken. >> we believe that they presented a weak case for there not to be an indictment. and as it played out in south jersey times, instead of seeking justice, the prosecutor acted more as a defense attorney for the two officers to justify their actions. so, we do not accept that and we're not going to accept that. >> reporter: it's creating some sort of interest for a federal look at this case, a federal civil rights case that they're trying to file paperwork for as early as next week and again, they plan more marches and protests as the week goes on. for now we're live in bridgeton, i'm steve patterson, cbs3 "eyewitness news." >> all right, steve, thank you so much for that. coming up next, teamwork is rarely this much fun.

cooling off in the water park today. look t even though we didn't have that high humidity still can't beat just chilling out with the water slide or the water fountains there. just trying stay cool even when that sun is really beating down on you and really at the shore it's kind of the same deal. had a nice breeze off the water. one place to keep cool there. live look at ocean city right now jam packed boardwalk at dinnertime right now, people enjoying some boardwalk food currently. let's talk about the heat we had so far this summer. as far as the 90-degree days go and over the past few weeks they were really racking up. right now we're at 28 days so far of 90 degrees or higher. don't have any 90's for the rest of the weekend but into next week we do have a shot but still nowhere close to 2010 if you can remember that where we had 55 90-degree plus days that summer. 84 right now at the airport in philadelphia. look at that, 70's allentown, reading, lancaster, upper 70's this hour. looking nice up there north and west low 80's, atlantic city wildwood. key thing here is those dewpoint temperatures.

we're seeing some 40's right now. you don't see that a whole lot in the month of august. enjoy it if you do not like humidity. the humid conditions are start to return looks like later tomorrow into monday. so tomorrow we'll call eight little bit more humid, certainly compared to dan on the steamy side monday. that's going to be the most humid day of the next seven on monday then the humidity levels start to back off for tuesday and wednesday. so, there's nothing oppressive in the near future as far as humidity goes. that's good news if you have outdoor plans. nice and quiet, storm scan3 high pressure over the midatlantic right now so that's blocking any large storm systems from developing. you may have a cloud or two passing by from time to time but overall looking at a dry finish to the weekend. there's the high pressure over us once again for sunday. mid 80's for the high temperatures. just a little bit more humidity in the air mass and then for monday warm, humid. we approach the upper 80's, maybe some spots hit 90 degrees depending on how much sunshine we see. there's a cold front that will come eastward. a lot of moisture should start to weaken but there could be a shower or two later monday

night into tuesday. otherwise partly sunny skies, temperatures hold in the mid and upper 80's once again on tuesday. let's talk about the tropics. heating up a little bit but still pretty inactive and that's typical for an el nino season. right now danny at 75 miles per hour so it's a weak category one hurricane. the forecast moving west to northwest and weakens it over time as it passes just north of puerto rico early next week eventually into the bahamas as a tropical depression. the good news there is that storm will continue to weaken but certainly it will bring heavy rainfall. if you have a vacation planned down into the islands. here's the model spread pretty tight going to the west-northwest towards the what ham mostly sunny over the next five days the forecast pretty much looking like a lock at this point. all right, back home, though, sunshine and clouds again for your sunday. another great day to be outside into monday again. that's going to be the hottest day approaching the upper 80's near 90's but still dry with clouds from time to time. later monday night you could get an isolated shower or storm as that next cold front

approaches. temperatures tomorrow similar to today, lower 80's north and west, mid 80's in the warm spots up into the lehigh valley, 82 for allentown, 81 kutz town around philadelphia mid 80's. enjoy it in the sunshine towards the shore right around the low 80's for the afternoon temperatures. so, again a great day to be outside to finish offer the weekend. pleasant overnight, low humidity, 68 for center city, cooler in the suburbs. warm day on sunday. sunshine and clouds with a high temperature up around 86 degrees. here is your shore forecast. still a lot of sunshine out there. u.v. index high. breeze off the water will knock the air temperature down about 82 degrees. here's the extended forecast. hottest temperature i can find 88 monday, little bit more humid. could be a shower or storm late monday night into tuesday and then the rest of next week pretty comfortable. mid 80's. so, not a bad forecast as we finish off the month of august. >> we're all giddy about this forecast. >> it is good. >> over here just so excited. >> it's about time. i was getting hammered by these two. >> no complaints. >> i don't know what you are talking about.

we never complain. >> big game tonight. i'm excite. >> very big game tonight. >> we'll see some key players i hope. >> after spending three days practicing with the ravens the eagles will play them at the linc. it's the second preseason game and a important one given the quarterback situation. sam bradford will be playing his first game as quarterback for the birds and his first since tearing his acl. he's played only two games in the last 22 months. then there's the whole matt barclay tim tebow competition for third string quarterback. it will be interesting to see how the defense stacks up against the offense led by joe flacco. >> i wonder how much of a test it's going to be because yes, joe flacco is an elite quarterback but if you look at the baltimore ravens, they really do not have what you would call marquee people at the skill positions. >> the phillies and marlins back at it tonight in miami. aaron harang will take the hill for the phils. last night an impressive major league debut for jared

eickhoff. he was one of those prospects acquired for cole hamels. but the surprising thing his bat. he gets his first major league hit with this two run single right here and that was his first professional at bat ever. he never hit in the minors so not only does he get his first major league win but his first major league and professional hit. phillies win seven to one. chase utley and journalist together again with the dodgers. the debut did not go as well as they had hoped. astros mike fires threw a no-hitter. threw 134 pitches to complete the gem. this was the first time in his career he had ever gotten an out in the ninth inning. astros won that game three-nothing. and what a pickup. last night he put on a show in colorado. the ball flying out of the park there. he went five for six, three home runs. seven rbi's. scored five runs and even stole a base.
