74 though south mountain so there is one cooler spott. 38 bethlehem and 838 in bath. we're still looking at the 80s so it feels very comfortable with the low humidity. not seeing the 90s and not seeing triple digits like last week this. area of high pressure keeping us dry and the wind flow is bringing down the drier air lowering our humidity. that's going to change a little bit tomorrow and even more as we go through the rest of the week so this is future weather. tomorrow we stay dry for the most part. another mostly sunny day. temperatures a little bit warmer than today and the humidity will go up slightly and then we go into wednesday. humidity keeps going up. by 10:00 a.m. we could see showers west of philadelphia, and that's going to be the main area for showers even through the afternoon. now there's wednesday at 4:30. if you're west the philadelphia best chance of seeing showers or a thunderstorm and that's where most of it should be staying. not for everybody wednesday. here's a look at the next three days. tomorrow around 88 degrees and mostly sunny in philadelphia and hotter than today. wednesday, more humidity and

closer to 990. a chance of a shower or thunderstorm and by thursday we're sunny. the 90s come back thursday. we're looking at the mid-90s. pennsylvania suburbs, 87 tomorrow and mostly sunny and a chance of some showers as we go into wednesday, thursday, low 90s and dry. lehigh valley tomorrow dry, sunny, mid-880s and then as we go through wednesday a chance. a shower or thunderstorm. back in the 90s. in jersey or along the shore your rain chances won't be in the forecast for wednesday but later on this weekend so basically a dry stretch for this thursday and temperatures reaching the low 90. thursday, delaware expects some showers possible on wednesday and maybe a chance of a shower thursday but temperatures still getting into the low 90s so that would then be a heat wave because friday will be in the 90s. saturday will be in the low 90s through parts of the area and seeing sunny skies and then by sunday that looks like our better chance of rain from basically everyone. we're going to be watching at this weekend forecast very closely as we go through the next few days.
