things will be improving. we just have to get through tonight and tomorrow morning and you'll start to feel a little bit of a reduction in the humidity. let's look outside right now we'll take you down the shore where it is foggy and hazy. it wasn't the best beach day today. it didn't really rain much but there were scattered showers and storms through the evening, through the afternoon, all around the region and the clouds really won the battle all across the area including the shore today. the heaviest stormses have been over delaware and to the north and west. lancaster county you can see the storms are pretty much staying to the west though, they haven't filled in. part of the reason for that is because it has been cooler today. cool, cloudy conditions tend to stabilize the atmosphere and storms don't really get the push they need to form and they kind of just zii before they get here. almost like running into a brick wall. that's the good news. these heavy thunderstorms staying to the west for now.

they could fill in overnight. but the worst seems to be winding down, seems to have ended across the region and that will continue through the overnight hours into the morning. we do still have a flash flood watch for our north and west suburbs but things are starting to diminish overnight. temperature-wise we're in the low 70s right now. 73 in philadelphia, mount pocono 67. it stayed cool up there today thanks to the cool as the clouds and the showers. it's was cooler in the city but it was humid. you can see in the past 48 hours, a few spots, a few bullseyes across the areas have picked up 2, 3, 4 or 5 inches of rain in the case of ocean county. we will be clearing things out through the overnight hours and into tomorrow we've got some much nicer weather by the middle of the week. things look a little drier tonight for portions of ocean county than they were this weekend. just a stray shower or thunderstorm mainly tomorrow morning, could wake up to

scattered showers that could slow down the commute in just a couple of spots. then that front pushes to the south we get high pressure to nose in at least briefly here and mostly sunny on wednesday with slightly lower humidity. it's not going to feel like extremely low, but it will be better than the past week or two has been. thursday seasonable and warm. still steamy tomorrow afternoon dew points drop to the mid 60s and on wednesday we'll have dew points in the low 60s which is certainly better than the 70s. not a complete reduction in humidity, but it will feel a whole lot better. overnight scattered showers and storms west of the city. humidity progress i havely dropping through the day. take you down to the tropics briefly and mention this storm has an 80% chance of formation into earl as we head through the next 48 hours. it does not like look a threat to the united states, but if you

have vacation plans, the cayman islands, be on alert for that system. not as hot or humid for your tuesday. wednesday and thursday looking much nicer. nice summer weather finally. it briefly heats up friday and saturday but another front will cut the humidity again sunday and monday looking good. first glance at the weekend, sunday is the better day to be outside. >> don is up next for with sports. >> will the
