half of our region, even still, if you reside from philly on north, certainly do not have to cancel any outdoor plans, eventually we will see more activity ignite on the leading edge of this, that's where we ends up with the best chance for shower or thunderstorm, so second half of the day, even come noontime, highly likely we haven't seen drop of rain anywhere in our local area at that point. but it, will take us into the afternoon where things start to fire up, in the, you're down the shore, cape may, atlantic county, heck even the rest of the jersey shore up to ocean, monmouth county, won't see anything out of this until later on this evening, so, that would be your best chance, anyway. but in the, it is scattered in nature. it is not a particularly potent frontal boundary but does become stationary off to the south. again you have to worry about shower or thunderstorm firing up at some point, maybe natural fireworks go on for your fourth every july. but still, you have got picnic plans, fireworks plans, you should be able to get them n those fireworks will likely either be wrapping up or getting underway around 10:00 tomorrow night, and it

does appear as though anything that would be out there, should be pretty scattered in nature. so we will keep an eye on, that so many of us plan to be outside during that time frame. meanwhile, today would be great excuse to hit the pool, keep your ears perk for thunder of course, second half of the day, at least if you are hit that pool early on in the day. it won't be as hot just yet. but you will need to latter on the sun block for sure. uv index up high, high hits 93 . meanwhile, later on tonight, as we move things forward, you will see, again, cloudy shower, spotty thunderstorm being dropping down to just 72 n through the overnight however. see the wind flow shift lit bill as the frontal boundery drops on in. it does knock the temperatures back to the 80s for tuesday, wednesday, and actually beyond that point. but, just watch for spotty shower, thunder storm, as we mention come tuesday, maybe isolated shower wednesday, that looks like pretty good day. but storm comes back thursday, friday, with yet another system, that wait in the wings. so pretty active looking pattern, meisha. >> looks to be that way, all right, katie, thank you so

their fourth every july cook out. how much are we looking at? >> well, new study found holiday cook out will cost just under $6 per person. beef production is rising for the second straight year, according to bloomberg, making grounds beaver at the grocery store, its cheapest since 2014. low prices for livestock feed also helped. the fourth of july is the nation's top grilling day with 87% of consumers, expected to barbeque. rahel? >> good news for those cooking out, roxanna, little personal request in here, attending any barbeques, cookouts? >> i will be working tomorrow, but maybe they'll be nice to us at the offers and cook us some hotdogs and burgers. how about you, rahel? >> hopefully our managers are listening, thank you, roxanne a i don't think i've been invited to a sink barbeque. so sad. well, coming up after the break, we'll get another check on weather and traffic, plus, see some cool video of dolphins, also, this weeke

>> if you look it hot or headed to the pool this is the day for you, just the caveat, frontal boundery dropping in. so whether we take you out to storm scan, look closely, but you can see a little line of clouds that are working their way just southeast of the great lakes right there. that's going to eventually feel more of a sign of life, see more activity on radar, eventually shower or thunderstorm also fires up for us. so this evening, i think you can see a spotty shower. sometimes makes it look so much worse than it actually will be. here, there is a shot for shower or storm. is it going to wash out the event? absolutely not. maybe a minor delay, if it fires up, just the wrong time. but i'm thinking all-in-all it looks like pretty okay evening, still flirting with 90, though, at 7:00 p.m. so really hot event for you, as well, now we look forward to the big day itself,

tomorrow, the fourth of july, i think all in tall looks like an okay day. but there could be shower or thunderstorm once more, especially, from the city on south, toward evening, so, maybe few natural fireworks thrown in there. but on wednesday, nice weather, all-in-all, isolated shot for shower or storm by thursday, friday, another front already moving our way. so it does look like it is going to be pretty active week. but the most activity, most widespread of the activity, right now, looks like it will start to happen the ends of the week thursday into friday. we keep the warmth certainly today, the hottest of the pack. we will hit at least the mid 80s, and right through the seven day. upcoming weekend, not looking bad at all, meisha. i think all-in-all we will see 80s, and some sunshine. >> i'm glad the bulk looks -- >> yes, pass the holiday, right? >> anything, just get past the holiday. katie great, thank you so much. this morning, looking outside, looking great on the roadways, still very dark out there, obvious, and probably not going to be as busy today or tomorrow, what we would typically see on typical monday and tuesday, because
