for sure. let me just say that. >> i look like i need to be in a straight jacket. >> oh, no! >> okay, guys, let's talk about the heat. because that continues to be the main weather theme for us obviously, once more, still stuck in temperatures back into the low and mid 90s, some feel hotter than. that eyewitness weather watchers up and adam, taking beautiful pictures, couple of sunrise pictures i want to show you, because it was beautiful one this morning, sent this one in, she is near the mt. laurel area, i believe, and just beautiful colors popping up on the horizon, john jenkins also sending in similar view out near the perkasie area. all beautiful, just, you know, with yellow, blues, just looks so pretty. and just stunning, start to the day here, again there is one sent in to us from phil this morning. i do also want to show you early morning lows we hit, it has been pretty mild start to the day. but we definitely dealt with worse in recent mornings here. william, sent early morning low of 74, barbara hit 71, in willow grove.

phil in chestnut hill area hit 73, and looks like the coolest spot of the pack though was to john in perkasie, little more outlying in the suburbs there, but generally yes nice mild start to the day. but not terribly terribly muggy this morning, so, it has been good start. let's go ahead, take a look at storm scan next, there are changes to track. we are still in the midst of high pressure now, this blob of moisture, actually, what brought or helped to bring some of the serious flooding issues that we saw down in the buoy, across baton rouge, louisianna, lafayette area, but his is all part of larger system. so here is basically your core of low pressure, that is going to bypass us to the north. the trailing front what will be crossing through in the next two days, to actually bring us some relief. so, in the meantime, awesome start to the day. one loan man, if you can even see him here, outside beach patrol headquarters in margate, nice quiet start to the day, beautiful. still little muggy at the shore if that's where your travels take you, looks like great beach day.

latter on the sun block all the way up to ten for uv index. the water temperature on l cool side though. up welling going on, bringing up cool air to the surface, so it may not be quite the type of back water that we've experienced since last week, but regardless, lot of sunshine to heat things up and make you want to take a dip. so the high hits 93 today, tomorrow, feeling like the triple digits again for both days, stronger thunderstorm could rumble in tomorrow by the way, then on wednesday, we transition away from the worse of the humidity, thursday, friday, looking lovely right now, meisha, still warm, but no where near as steamy. >> i was going to say that. all right, katie, thank you. yes, 80s certainly will be welcome treat come about wednesday, thursday. thanks so much, katie. looking outside right now, 95 southbound at girard, what you are looking at there, certainly starting to slow down now, take a look at the sunshine, going to slow you down little bit too. make sure to pack the sunglasses, the vine, moving in the westbound direction, just moments ago, when we were looking at that, look very very slow actually right now it is looking okay, just as you can see brake lights, both
