heating up even the poconos in the 70s, right now, as we speak. so, yes, it will be a little bit after steamy day today. the heat is back, our average this time of year is 83 degrees. yes, we've already hit that, and gone right past t as you can see, sunday, we hit 91. so if we hit 09 today, 90's again, as we head to tuesday, wednesday, thursday. generally, and it is a loosely defined thing, but generally people think of heatwave as three days, with 90 degrees or more. in this part of the country. when you get excessive heat. obviously that would put us in category for that if you are looking for relief, i have idea, how about headed to the poconos? look at this, over the next three days, stunning weather up there. where we are talking low 80s, and then mid 80s, as it goes into tuesday, wednesday. should be quite nice out there. again beaches will be nice, too, you saw the picture of rehoboth, loverly day, specking high of 86 degrees, watch out for the sunshine, though, uv index is six, sun is out, full force right now, get the sunscreen on. and, if you have got kids out there, we do have a moderate
