unofficial start to summer

is practically here, sunny and dry. can't have better weather. here's a live look from the summer fest camera. >> a live look at i-95 and south philadelphia. we are keeping an eye on any trouble spots on the roads as thousands of drivers head to their holiday destinations. >> hey, do you remember that rain that drenched us for most of may? well, hate to tell you, it's coming back. we have you cover with the timing for the weekend. >> nbc 10 news at 5:00 starts right now. good evening. i'm keith jones. >> i'm rosemary connors. live team coverage in the region in pennsylvania, new jersey, and delaware to help you get ready for the memorial day weekend. >> and the information everyone me wants to know, what is the weather going to be like? here's chief meteorologist glen "hurricane" schwartz to kick us off. glen? >> keith, it's obvious here. we are starting off the holiday weekend hot and humid and rain-free, and we're going to end the holiday weekend pretty much the opposite.

89 degrees in philadelphia now. 87 in some of the suburbs. 89 in lehigh valley. look at the live pictures with sunshine. all over the place. it's just not as warm at the beaches. let's take a look at delaware, for example, we got places, 90 degrees, and middletown is 89, newark 88. wilmington's 88. as we go towards the beaches, a different story. it's 72 in rehoboth, 80 in bethany and 86 in louis. it depends on the wind direction here, not only in the delaware beaches, but the shore, and in this case, it's cooler than it is inland. one isolated shower in chester county. that's pretty much gone. as we go through the night, not really expecting any kind of rainfall and temperatures will not drop as much as they did
