officially that's the high today in philadelphia making it the hottest day of the year. so again heat wave number five. we'll put an end to it f do you like the 90s this it. this was the core of it. low and mid 99s the past few days. tomorrow we're talking about 80s returning to the forecast. 81 right now. very warm and muggy in philadelphia at the airport. wilmington, delaware also 81. lower 70s and cooler suburbs. still humid through the overnight hours and again tomorrow but not quiet as bad as it was today. and then pleasant conditions really set up for saturday and sunday. so if you have outdoor plans. holiday weekend it's great no matter where you are. it's been dry. we can use some rain. been since august 20th since we had measurable rain. abnormally dry conditions for much of new jersey. so this is not drought status the exception northern new jersey that would be level one drought status but overall we're still okay but we can use some rain and we have a shot tomorrow. the reason there's a front which is starting to move southward cutting across southern new england right now not a lot of activity showing up along the

front now but tomorrow once you get the heating of the day, we'll see some scattered showers and storms. here's that front it moves in from the north out ahead of it we were hot today in the mid 9 90s. highs only in the 70s up in new england today. behind the front. this front pushes through tomorrow. we get more of a northeasterly wind flow so that ocean is in the 70s. that's why we start to see cooler temperatures. that sticks around through much of the holiday weekend. all right. toll morning, if you're traveling getting out of town early it looks good. sunshine with some clouds. early afternoon that's when we can see a couple of showers popping up even a thunderstorm key word is scattered not everybody sees it keep in mind you may run into looking much better saturday again beach plans look great if you're heading to the mountains or chilling at the pool. no prob opens will much check out that forecast for the poconos. 77 degrees saturday in the sunshine bring it back to the low 80s for sunday. and labor day. shore forecast a little bit windy on saturday. with that breeze right off the ocean. so to keep the temperatures down into the upper 70s. watch out for rough surf on saturday with a breeze and then

sunday and monday we slowly warm back up into the mid 80s keeping skies mostly sunny. warm and humid partly cloudy. 73 for center city. cooler in the suburb. stray thunderstorm possible tomorrow afternoon. 86 degrees. still humid. but monday labor day for physical warms up up around 90 degrees. humidity creeps back. overall still looking like a fairly dry forecast we do have that rain chance on friday and then again not until next thursday. in between guys looks like we may be dealing with our sixth heat wave of the season right after labor day. summer is certainly holding on. >> how about that? justin thank you. >> thank you buddy. neck night lesley van arsdall up at metlife stadium with "eyewitness sports". lesley. >> the final season of the preseason is in the books and chip kelly will have tough decisions to make of course, the quarterback battle between tim tebow and matt barkley taking center stage. and we think we have a winner tonight. i'll have that coming up in sports.
