>> few more riders in bet airs, philmont, but specially when we hit jenkintown, that's where the trains come together from other venues, and it get really crowded there. and if there is other two cars, weaver standing room only. so i expect it to be crowd in the morning at that point. >> reporter: we do have added capacity as peter mentioned watch about the return commute? are you concerned, are you making alternate plans, are you leaving earlier or later from work? >> i think we just lost her. looks like we just lost jan there, a lot of good information coming from peter. >> both every us look ' saw the empty car, okay, that's good news, hopefully people leaving earl. >> i and for someone who rides this train every day, he knows when the train arrives to the dot. >> hopefully we are able to check back in with jan. let's move on. police are investigating a murder in the sit's germantown section. >> this happened on the 1900 block of rowan street, just

we will, eventually, here talk about the dew point temperature, coming up. but i also have to check in with the eyewitness weather watchers, i must say, there are some folks really taking this in stride. you know, really is, i'll say it, uncomfortable outside. the amount of rain we saw is wonderful for our garden, and i eileen echoing that sentiment. right now overcast, 95% humidity, she said she ended up with inch of rainout of last night's system, just what her gardens and the lawns needed and she is thinking mother nature for that. now, i can't say that everybody is necessarily feeling that. it is, again, i use the word soupy. and that's exactly what david dutch said too. he has almost complete saturate, 99% humidity, dew point at 72. ya, it is really muggy outside. let me take to you just one more, we go further north in new jersey, 73, comes in this morning from peter. and he's actually got a little bit every rain falling, he sends this report within the last 15 minutes, so, within that range of time, we still had some rain pushing through central and northern new

jersey. at that point portions of the state still have flashflood watch posted. not everyone at this point southeastern pa has been taken out of the flashflood watch. but it remains for the rest of our region as a whole. dew point right now, okay, remember there is the lower that dew point gets, the drier the air mass, these are incredibly high dew points, in the low 70s, that's just feels so uncomfortable out there right now, and it will continue to feel that way. this is not a system that bridges with it refreshment, rather, we're only going to see humidity climb, and temperature dot same. so as we measure that moisture content it, will actually feel more oppressive than anything today. that will be running theme for us looking ahead. quick check on storm scan, we got to get you that, thankfully it looks like the worse of this now moving out to sea one left over heavy pocket across cape may county then start to see things wind down with time, and eventually, actually see these skies clear out nicely. so, it is more partly sunny as the day goes on, but look at the heat that builds here, low to mid 90s for four straight days with feels like values
