basically dry conditions across the region but if we go out to the north and west. we are tracking some of the the day's thunderstorms popping up near pottsville and the one by harrisburg is firing up and most of it is heading towards the poconos and in the next 90 minutes or so, the north and western areas we'll have to watch for something popping up. this is penn's landing, this is a nice time for summertime concerts, you don't want to be sitting on the asphalt today because it's hot and uncomfortable out there. the temperature has reached the 90 degree mark and the dew point up over 70 in philadelphia and any dew point over 70 we tell you is a sign of oppressive air, winds not helping out much either, winds around the region, most of us close to the 80 degree mark and the dew points over 70, there is a lot of them

out there. how about 74 in allentown, really humid air. i was in new orleans once as a hurricane was coming in and i had dew points of 80 and it was just horrible and this is getting close to that. new orleans type dew points, or close to that in wildwood and dover right now. by 2:00, it shows to the north and west of the region we see more of those thunderstorms inching close to us, after 3:00 they will be marching through allentown and reading and closer to philadelphia. and from 6:00 until 10:00, more of these thunderstorms are possible. they are spotty and not everybody sees them and they are strong enough to produce damaging winds and lots of lightning and downpours. all of that is not good, take cover from these storms. 92 is the high up in allentown and sun and clouds and humid and some possible in the lehigh

valley, not as much rain and none of it during the daytime hours, warm and humid on the beach, and sunscreen of course, you will want to take it easy if you are in the heat. 95 degrees, is the high if are you going to be outside, cool fluids and sun and clouds and humid and thunderstorms possible in the day and evening, 76 is the muggy overnight low, now tomorrow we do it all over again, the front is still out to the west and still coming through, during the afternoon we have a chance of other thunderstorms, they may not be as gusty but they could produce downpours that could produce localized street flooding. down to the tropics, tropical storm arthur, not much has changed, it's starting to make its push to the north. 60 miles per hour sustained winds this morning and this is off the coast into the sea

enough for us having a lot of concern, except morning showers and the rip currents down on the beach in delaware and new jersey on saturday. thunderstorms are possible this evening and you saw that. tomorrow 88 and still humid with the drenchers possible. on the fourth of july, arthur, thank goodness is offshore. could be damp and cloudy and inland morning showers and afternoon drying and sun and we look good for afternoon fireworks on the parkway, lots of sun on saturday and sunday. overall a nice holiday weekend. >> thank you. don't forget "action news" at 4:00, 5:00 and 6:00 tonight. now for meteorologist, david murphy, and rick williams and the entire "action news" team, i'm sara bloomquist have a nice afternoon.
