of the region right now. there are some breaks that are going to begin to open up and overall we're looking at a sun and clouds mix later on. temperatures currently 71 degrees in philadelphia, 71 in wilmington and as you check out all these numbers note that this is a little bit of a warmer array of temperatures than what we've had the last couple of mornings. we were up in the 50's on monday and tuesday but now just 66 in allentown, 69 in reading, 67 in trenton. 72 on the boardwalk in sea isle city and also up the coast in atlantic city. future tracker 6 showing that you through the day we're going to be back and forth with a mix of clouds and sun. late today and especially in the evening we'll be on the lookout for some showers and thunderstorms that may try and come in toward allentown and reading. i think this is going to be a bigger issue for areas farther out to the west and that includes williamsport, the site of tonight's taney dragons little league world series baseball game. association we'll keep our eyes on that. in a moment i'll talk more about that. up in allentown today, not too bad. sun and clouds a-bit humid, 83 degrees is the forecast high. very similar to yesterday.

some scattered storms and that could delay or hinder the progssf th game but it really just depends on where they happen to set up. 74 is the game time temperature. hopefully they get that one in. tomorrow in the morning we may have a couple of showers to show you but it's looking like most of the action is going to be late in the day and the evening. and most of the models are suggesting that the showers tomorrow are mainly in the northern and western areas. we'll all have to look out for them but that is where the best chance of shower activity appears to be tomorrow. 85 is today's high, a bit humid. and occur inclusive accuweather 7-day any rain holds off until tonight. possible showers off and on tomorrow especially north and west. 82 is the high andhen most cloudy on friday with a high of 78 and a couple of lingering showers there. weekend still looking pretty good. we mig have a few more clouds on saturday than sun. and then partly sunny on sunday but upper 70's really nice weather and upper 70's close to 80 on monday and tuesday and probably wednesday as well. so a-nice stretch of weather coming back after the next couple of slightly choppy days. >> good to hear that. next up and new at 6:00 a.m.,
