so, yeah, it feels like a hundred degrees. and it's going to stay that way. tomorrow 95, feeling like 102. saturday, 96, feeling like 103. but then things change. just in time for the eagles game. we have relief. way lower humidity. yes, the temperature's down. it's still warm for football. but compared to the day before, it's a dramatic change. 86 degrees by the end of the game. 81 at kickoff. again, very low humidity. so you'll be able to tolerate this. you can see in philadelphia, there's the hot weather friday, saturday, drops a couple of days in a row. dover, drops to near 80 degrees. doesn't even get to 80 in allentown by monday. and wildwood, dropping to 76 by monday.

that is quite a change. and at the jersey shore, it's going to be hot tomorrow, near 90 degrees, because of the northwest wind. and then we get more of a relief on saturday, because it will be a sea breeze. and then just generally cooler weather. plus sea breezes coming in on monday and tuesday. what about the next ten days? look, we need some rain. it's been dry around here. again, just a slight chance of an afternoon shower or storm friday and into saturday. sunday is dry. monday, tuesday, bright and sunny. nice and comfortable. really nice. it heats up wednesday. that's our best chance for showers and thunderstorms. and then look at the cooler weather coming in toward the end of next week, and next weekend. yeah, next weekend is not going to be anywhere near as hot as this weekend. >> very different. >> obviously labor day signifies the unofficial end to summer,

but not feeling like it. >> september at the jersey shore, it's generally a beautiful month. and we're going to have some nice weather there, too, this weekend. >> plenty of days to enjoy down the shore. still to come. let's hope. an international incident and the biggest headline you could say outside of competition during the rio olympics. >> today ryan lochte learned the consequences claiming he was held up at gun point at a gas station. we'll tell you about the suspensions handed down for the gold medal olympian and his teammates.
