watchers absolutely echoing. that will we had couple of pictures that came in from the watchers. but looking at the map's view, mid 50's, even couple of upper 50's to report. but very quickly take a look at pictures i promised from yesterday. we did have few clouds that were streaking across the night sky. this was the sunset last evening. john sent this one into us. we go back one spot here. now, of course the sun has bright ends up the sky. but, the moon was actually so bright, according to lynn, she took it great picture outside her house in cherry hill, that it was actually casting shadows. yes, nice moonlit sky with the nearly full moon out there. in the last couple of nights. let's look at the temperatures though in list format, sometimes easier to process, andy is the mildest right now at 660 degrees. phil in philly in the chestnut hill section of the area, 56. mid 50's, low 50's, upper 50's, or even hands full of upper 40's. so it is still cool enough that an extra layer is a good idea. jenny out in cherry hill at 56 ,

little variety, generally you get the idea. where the range is setting up this morning. little cool. about to get a heck of a lot warmer. so, if you do dress in layers, make sure don't leave the jacket behind on the way home from the officer. looking at storm scan, latest storm system, little more classic comma shape starting to take form with. >> this the warmfront already since lifted off to the north. here is your cold front. what's going to be treking east. it is not a super strong system. so i don't think you will actually end one much more than a couple of showers out of this. but those hold off until later on tonight. so you have got another great looking forecast, citizens bank park, perfect weather for any casino every outdoor plans you have let alone baseball game. seventy-seven at first pitch in april. are you kidding me? mid 70s tomorrow, watch for shower in the morning, dry it out for the rest of the work week, meisha? >> loving. >> this katie thank you so much. something we are not loving is debris on the roadway right where we do not want it. fifty-nine south past cottman, heads up on this, don't know

signs to look out for that time of stress? >> one of the things is anxiety. you know, we get nervous. might be short tempered. the other thing is eating. you know, we might start to eat more or drink more or smoke more. we might have physical symptoms, like stomach aches, or muscle pain, or headaches, you know, we might get really irritable and angry and we see that a lot. my gosh, trouble sleeping. and then some people just withdraw, you know, from things they like doing, withdraw. these are signs we have to be aware of that we are overstressed. >> and how can this lead to more serious problems then? >> specially people, run if families like heart disease, stroke. if we adrenyline overflowing all the time, and put more strain on our heart rate, blood pressure, higher rate of stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer it, causes inflammatory changes in our body, so it is important we recognize chronic stress and symptoms and take measures to help us. >> so clearly some pretty serious health problems if you do not manage your stress. so what are some ways to

alleve ate stress? >> one of the first things to recognize it, know that we are stressed. then reach out. but the other one is stress reduction techniques. that tends to work real well. i mean yoga, just breathing correctly through our stomach, also, exercise, get out in nature. you run all the time. don't you feel better after you run? more relaxed? you know, and socialize, a lot of times we're stressed and we withdraw. but get around people. get back to the honeys. things we like. eat better f we eat healthier, we feel better. also disconnect. we're on the phone all the time, texting, always available, have a break. give yourselves permission to not be available. try to relax. >> i'm a proponent of adult coloring books, before i go to sleep at night, half hour, sitting there coloring away with no electronic device end adjust kind of levels me out. >> you know what? we're so technology driven, gotten away from ewing creativity, our imagination, it is important that we do that, something that we like, that we enjoy for us. >> sounds good, doctor rob.
