the heat wave will be ending. not necessarily today but it's not going to get to den days by tomorrow. it's going to be a great night for baseball once again with the very low humidity when it gets dark, it gets extra comfortable. 85 degrees. relative humidity 33%. it just feels like 85. the wind is west-northwest at 12 miles an hour. it's going to be a pretty breezy across the area. 72 in mt. pocono. it is into the mid-80s in the philadelphia area right now. and closing in on the mid-80s in much of south jersey and in delaware. 83 degrees in dover and wilmington right now. now, at the shore, the wind direction is, of course, the key. this is a land breeze. so, northwest winds, so it's just as warm in beach haven as it is at the atlantic city airport. that's the only way you can see that if we have a wind coming in

off the ocean, we might see, let's say, a 10-degree temperature difference between the coast and inland. you can see just some high, thin clouds coming across the area, so we continue to dry out. the next area of moisture is near st. louis, but we've got a lot of dry air that's moving in here, so we're going to be dry today, tonight and tomorrow. but not necessarily beyond that. here's our west and northwest wind, the dry air tonight as we go into tomorrow. watch the wind change. it's going to become northerly wind now by tomorrow morning. maybe start to come in out of the northeast. then here comes some rain. this is the future weather computers. you can see the northeast wind. then starts coming in off the ocean and that rain is getting closer. delaware, south jersey, best chance of getting some of that,

even by late tomorrow or tomorrow night, i think, more likely. and you can see the farther north you are, the better chance you have of not seeing this rain. but one of the computer models, the most reliable, do bring some significant rain to parts of delaware and extreme south jersey. this is mainly thursday night and into friday morning. while the farther north you get, the better chance you have of getting no rain at all. and it doesn't look like there's going to be rain over the weekend either. so, it's going to be hot and breezy today, but less humid. very low humidity for summertime. high temperatures getting perhaps a little above the 90-degree mark. 91 is what i'm going for here. but tomorrow, we're not getting there. we don't have any computer model suggesting we're getting to 90 degrees tomorrow. but the clouds increase and we could see some rain by thursday

night. and on friday, the best chance of that rain is south of philadelphia. we could still get some in the mfl area, but it may be that most of it falls during the nighttime hours on thursday night. and that sets us up for a pretty nice weekend. temperatures into the mid-80s. still low humidity and no rain expected. zoo thank you, glenn. it's an issue the catholic church has grammed with for years. the new remarks pope francis made this morning about divorced catholics who remarry. and spicing it up. why experts say adding a little more spice to your diet could help you live longer.

brighten project. also happening later today, the philadelphia read summer program will hold its annual red carpet show in spring garden. the literacy program helps students ease into school, level reading and prevent the so-called summer slide. the community college of philadelphia will host today's show, which features a guest performance by the universal african dance and drumming ensemble. the longest heat wave of the summer continues. it's not been especially hot heat wave. the highest temperature, 93 degrees. we haven't even hit feels like temperatures over 100 officially in philadelphia. but it's a pretty long one. eight days in a row with 90-plus. but it is less humid during the day today. significantly less humid. the heat wave will be ending. if not today, it's going to end tomorrow. and we do have some rain chances

on friday. especially in some parts of the area. we have a lot of blue in that sky. and it's going to continue that way. 85 degrees. the humidity is very low at 33%. so the feels like temperature is the same as the air temperature. with started that heat wave last tuesday with a couple of 93s. we've got a couple of 93s monday and tuesday. now today we're likely to be 90, 91, let's say. 85 in philadelphia. 86 in northeast philly. 87 in horsham. 78 in oxford and pottstown and allentown. 76 in doylestown. we've got quite a variation of temperatures. some cooler air north and west is starting to come in. and at the shore, like beach haven, 85, that proves that that is a land breeze there. the high clouds that we've seen

have moved out. some of these clouds in northern pennsylvania could produce showers over the poconos this afternoon but that is about the only rain threat. we've got a lot of dry air around here. then this area in missouri, that is the next area of rain that we're going to be watching. by this afternoon, again, possible light shower or two up in the poconos. we're dry. other than that, as we go through the rest of the night, tomorrow we start off with sunshine, but the clouds increase and here comes some rain. computer models vary on how far north it gets. this one keeps it fairly far to the south. but there's no doubt the greatest chance of rain, the greatest amounts of rain would be in delaware and in south jersey. you saw some of that is on the heavy side. so, this definitely has a potential to produce more than an inch of rain in at least some

parts of the area. still a bit of a question if it gets up to philadelphia and it does not look like it's going to get up to the lehigh valley and poconos at all. hot and breezy during the day today. less humid. but the high may actually get to 90 and the heat wave may continue one more day. and that's it. just the one more day. because tomorrow, 86 degreesings starting off with sunshine. clouds increase in the afternoon. that may keep the temperature down even a little more. friday the rain is in delaware and extreme south jersey. that also will help keep the temperature down. east wind keeps the temperature down. over the weekend we're getting a lot of sunshine, relatively no humidity, no rain, another pretty nice weekend.

happening now, president obama is about to give a foreign policy speech at american university in washington, d.c. we're looking live right now at american university. the podium where the president will make those remarks. his focus is on the iran nuclear deal. white house officials say they chose the university because that is where john f. kennedy made his address on nuclear disarmament and world peace in

1963. the president argues that the politicians who support -- supported the iraq war now oppose the diplomatic deal with iran. secretary of state john kerry fiercely defended the deal on capitol hill last week. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have expressed concern about the agreement which is aimed at cushing iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions. congress is in the midst of a 60-day review of the plan. meanwhile, israeli prime minister netanyahu addressed american jews yesterday in a web cast and reiterated his position to the iran nuclear deal. he urged jewish americans to lobby lawmakers against the deal. he says a deal paves iran's path to the bomb and in his words said the mad mullahs are more interested in nuking united states than israel. this afternoon on "nbc10 news" at 4:00 -- outrage over access to one of our area's most popular state forests.
