may impair the ability to accurately recall memories. mindful meditation involves the act of eliminating distracting or negative thoughts, allowing intense awareness of ones senses and feelings. quick and deadly. a flash flood sweeps away vehicles and claims lives. we'll show you where it happened coming up. and they've been among her core supporters so why do polls show hillary clinton as having trouble with women voters. we teal take a look coming up.

comfortable temperatures, and that combination is going to stick around. although temperatures are warm up a little bit to that's in store for us over the next few days here. currently we're at 68 degrees in the poconos. 74 in trenton, 75 in mount holly. if you're with us in atlantic city, 76. 77 in millville and temperatures in dover at 74. so not a bad way to start off your tuesday. 24 hour temperature change map shows almost ten degrees warmer right now than this time year. same thing in philadelphia up eight degrees, up eight degrees in atlantic city and millville and temperatures are warmer in reading and lancaster. 79 degrees. just to put in the perspective yesterday we were below that average with a high of 77. into today 84. by wednesday we are up to 87 degrees. so we continue to see temperatures climbing and we're going to hit a plateau, i'll show you that in the seven day. but satellite radar shot shows it's not just us seeing quiet conditions with lots of

sunshine. take a look at half of the country, really, this stretches back through the south down the midwest into the plain states. we have a big area of high pressure and that's off to to the southwest of us, that will continue to move closer to us heading into tomorrow and the day after and so our temperatures will begin to go up. but our futurecast shows us tuesday into wednesday and thursday most of the makes the, at least half of the nation, stays nice and dry with this ridge of high pressure and as we push into thursday, friday, even saturday we are still staying dry. but our humidity will start to go up so that will be a change as we get to the end of your work week. 75 will be the high today in the poconos. 79 in allentown, 80 in pottstown, 83 to 84 in philadelphia then warming up more than that by tomorrow. we'll push to 86 for northeast philly, mid-80s in atlantic city and in the poconos close to 80 degrees by the time we head into wednesday. but your seven-day forecast shows we stay in the high 80s
