spots, too, right now, we showed you some of the feels like values, feels like it is in well into the triple digits in dover right now, really brutal stuff out there. and, you know, in some places actually few thunderstorms, too, so little bit of variety pack after forecast depending on location, which we'll get to, but the kind of forecast that's essentially like the movie groundhog day, just keeps oncoming up the exact same thing over and over again, have to give credit where that's due. one of our guys, john, came up with that, i know eel ' appreciate that i give him a shout out for that one. essentially what we're looking at here. let me take you outside. so take you on little baby tour hereof some of the live network cameras. basically just cloudy skies, had a little bit of rain, that rolled through the kutztown area, and certainly, we even had couple of raindrops on the camera lens. but look at this. just barely clouding the sky outside middle township high school, cape may courthouse, really is location, location, location. but what do you have everywhere is building heat,

southwesterly wind flow, may not be terribly breezy, oppressive humidity will not feel that much better to you, won't have a refreshing breeze to go with it. a look at thunderstorms that rumble on through, moving basically right along or just south of i78, portions of bucks county getting hit, into mercer county, for example, but not everyone is involved in that. and that's kind of the story, not just today, but well into the seven day forecast. huge zoom on storm scan, to give you a sense of what's happening here. look at the circulation by the way. really well defined system there. meanwhile you have got high pressure building off shore. and frontal boundery that's trying to push east, because this thing is so darn slow, it means that we're going to have multiple days of the jet stream to the north, with hazy, hot, humid conditions, building in our region, heat index values that are going to soar well into the triple digit. like we say, it could exceed 105, already has today, and our excessive heat watch hasn't even gone into effect. so that gives you a sense of what you will face out there. so, do the math in your head.
