12:25 pm
your temperature is up to 81 degree, it's beginning to feel warmer out there. and i'll point out the dow point is up to 67 and that indicates cooler air, with the thick cloud cover, you are not feeling the humidity. winds out of the west at 20 miles per hour it's on the breezy side today. upper 70s in reading and wilmington. 80 in millville, and low 80s at the airport in atlantic city. and down the coach along the beach. the last couple of runs of this model are backing off from the placement of showers and thunderstorms. as we get up to 3:00 some of this is going to the western suburbs, not all of that is substantial. and pushing towards the evening, a couple of lines are possible. as we get into the early evening hours. the issue is not the volume or
12:26 pm
