eventually perhaps near the bahamas or cuba as we go into the weekend and next week so that's the one that we're probably going to be tracking the most closely. for the next three days, temperatures same tomorrow, going up a bit on wednesday and then thursday we're up to 90 degrees again. at least in philadelphia. the humidity up a little bit by thursday and a lot more by friday. you can see a lot of other places not quite getting to 90 on thursday. the jersey shore getting to 82 degrees because we're going to be having more of a west wind then and we'll see temperatures getting to 90 by friday. more on that coming up a little bit later. >> back to the 90s. thanks, glenn. >> listen to this. one family's canoe trip went terribly wrong when the boat capsized trapping the child underneath. >> the child was trapped for more than an hour. up ahead, what was under there

quite a change from all that heat and humidity we've been dealing with lately. week after week of it, and we finally broke it, and tomorrow is going to be every bit as nice as today. well, we've got neighborhood weather, right, so let's show you an example of how we can focus on specific neighborhoods. now especially true when it's really stormy, but we can do it in any day. here's easton, p.a., and we've got all these different neighborhoods, and lots of different observing sites within those areas so we're talking about lehigh valley and burks county right now, and look at all of the numbers we've got. in the wintertime, imagine those little changes between 31, 32, 33 degrees, and how important a couple of degrees can be. reading is 77 and allentown 76. bethlehem 78 degrees.

and none of those areas have any significant cloud cover. i mean, it is clear and it is clear for hundreds and hundreds of miles, if not thousands of miles. so the comfort has returned, and it's going to stay with us for another couple days. it was not comfortable over the weekend. it was 93 on saturday with a high of 89 an sunday and very humid and then the storms came in, and that was with a front that's brought in this comfortable air. 82 today and tomorrow. 85 degrees on wednesday. still not too humid on wednesday. thursday and friday i think are going to be pretty uncomfortable. now we break the forecast down into neighborhoods, so, for example, there's the lehigh valley again. reading at 81 degrees and allentown 80 and easton at 80 degrees. again, times like winter when we'll have different temperatures and different weather conditions from one place to the other. in this case everybody's got sunshine during the day

tomorrow. shanksville at 81 degrees and fairmont at 82. new jersey, vorhees at 80 and avalon at 79. got into the mid-80s at some of the shore points with a land breeze. a sea breeze tomorrow. that will keep the temperature down a little bit. dover at 81 degrees. now the trappics are heating up. this is expected this time of the year. mid-august to mid-october. the historical peak of hurricane season. there's fiona out in the middle of the atlantic. not really very impressive, but we have other areas. this one back to the west that could conceivably get closer to the bahamas as we head towards the end of the week. these are all the different computer models, and, of course, the closer they are together, the more sure we are that something like this is going to happen, and you can see the general trend towards the bahamas or puerto rico as we go towards the weekend, so that's going to be the one that you're going to be hearing more and

more about as it develops and moves closer. by wednesday we're up to 85. thursday to 990 and friday 94. okay. so, yeah, the heat is going to be coming back, but it's not going to last. we have more comfortable weather coming later on during the weekend. >> all right. glenn, thank you so much. nbc 10 needs your help spreading your word about free money to those making a difference in the community. we're giving away grants to local non-profits. we're calling it 21st century solutions. the goal is to support organizations that are implementing new and innovative programs. the application is on our website nbc10.com. the deadline to apply is this friday. a local athlete's success story at the olympics is now benefiting families in her home state of delaware. >> 26 years ago it started in wilmington for a little champ just like you. >> next the olympic surprise new babies and parents at a local hospital are getting thanks to

"she was standing there, she had nothing to say..."

if donald trump cannot respect a gold star family, then why would anyone in america think he would respect them. votevets is responsible for the content of this advertising.
