currently 65 degrees. 66 in trenton. the dewpoint at 70 in dover. you can feel the moisture in the air. if we get something to trigger to pull that moisture out of the air we could get some much needed rain but storm tracker six live double scan showing we are surrounded by rain. to the south side we have ana the remnants and that will be heading out to sea near nantucket so we'll be missing that. if you look out to the west there's a cold front causing severe weather in ohio. however, the upper level support for that will head up to the north. so, we'll just be missing that and we'll get the threat of some isolated showers or thunderstorms but nothing widespread. so, that's what's ahead, some isolated showers and thunderstorms and then the middle of the week a tremendous temperature drop. we're going from the 80's to the 60's, may want a sweater. unfortunately with that dry air moving in, we do have another threat of forest fires. i'll talk more about that coming up in the full accuweather forecast. sharrie. >> cecily thank you. be sure to stay ahead of changes in the weather by

have a bike lane on there now and crashes are down 25 percent. that's a huge success. >> reporter: but there are still difficulties. too often cars and trucks use the bike lane for parking. the bicycle coalition working with the parking authority to try to reduce that problem. the bigger picture the bicycle coalition trying to change the culture here in philadelphia between how drivers deal with cyclists and vice versa. at this point a lot of people in philadelphia are using bikes on a regular basis. the figure we were given today, more than 14,000 people commute to work more than three days a week in philadelphia. that's a lot of folks on two wheels. live in university city, john rawlins channel6 "action news." back to you all. >> all right, john, thank you. delaware law enforcement agencies are reminding all drivers to buckle up as part of the nationwide click it or ticket campaign that starts today. and as an incentive to get more drivers safe they announce the buckle up 200

delaware state line. it's a parking lot on up to that accident scene by the commodore barry. maybe stay local through chester or even up on route one alternates. crash on the schuylkill westbound by girard. that involves a truck but it's all off to the side so not a huge deal n bensalem still have that nasty crash closing state road. maybe use 13 by holy family university instead. medical chopper called to the scene of a wreck in upper hanover this afternoon along lay field road at kline nard road and our two accidents on the northeast extension one southbound involving the tractor-trailer included are both clear but you're still looking at really slow speeds, just 18 miles per hour as you come north away from the blue route. those delays spilling back onto the blue route and then back onto the schuylkill. we'll check the delays again rick and monica, coming up in the next half hour. >> thank you matt. much more still to come on "action news" at 5:00 tonight. identity thieves are coming after your credit cards. how they're trying to get the important security codes on the back of them coming up. >> and george zimmerman

>> time for accuweather at the "action news" big board. meteorologist cecily tynan has been keeping an eye on those summer like temperatures. >> not going to last much longer. one more day of this heat and humidity then temperatures begin to drop. we're live on sky six taking a

look at the center city skyline. seeing a lot of sunshine. it's been one of those days where we woke up with the clouds and the fog. some breaks of sunshine but we're also seeing some scattered downpours. one lonely downpour in the entire viewing area in chester county moving north on route 202. it's just moved through goshenville heading between exton and malvern and it's moving north at about 20 miles per hour. that's the only shower we have now and unfortunately showers will be few and far between even with the cold front moving in. ahead of that front though, temperatures again warm today. currently in philadelphia 81 degrees. we've already hit 84. allentown 85. reading 81. you head closer to the shore with the winds off the ocean the ocean temperature chilly this time of the year. sea isle city at 66, the boardwalk in atlantic city 66 and millville a little bit inland it's 71 degrees. the big difference from last week, last week on monday and tuesday we were 85 degrees. but the humidity was low. it felt very comfortable. now we have dewpoints between

65 and 70 degrees. that's moisture in the air. that really measures that. so that feels very humid and it will feel humid tonight into the first half of the day tomorrow and then drier air will begin to move in. satellite6 along with action radar showing that the remnants of ana are moving off shore near norfolk virginia and that will be heading towards cape cod. we'll be missing out from the moisture from ana. we've just been getting the winds out of the southeast ahead of that system and that's what's been pulling in that moisture. wider view showing a strong cold front that's moving through ohio and this has sparked severe thunderstorm watches. the problem with this front is that the upper level support with that front will move up to the north. when that happens that front will weaken dramatically and the moisture practically evaporates so we're not going to see a lot of action with showers and thunderstorms even when that moves through tomorrow. so the call from accuweather for tonight, a spotty thundershower possible. otherwise it's just warm and muggy night.

66 degrees in philadelphia. millville 63. cape may 64. and allentown 63 degrees. future tracker showing tomorrow morning already 74 degrees at 7:30 in the morning. by the afternoon upper 80's but the winds shift out of the west in the afternoon. so that will drop the humidity levels. it will begin to feel a little bit better and then by wednesday in the morning 55 degrees. in the afternoon on wednesday temperatures only in the 60's. so the five day at 5:00 showing tomorrow a warm breeze, high humidity early in the day 88 degrees. wednesday windy and cooler. you may want to jacket on wednesday. 69 degrees. thursday picture perfect 72. friday 76. saturday turning unsettled 76 degrees. and adam will let you know if we have more showers on the way on sunday in the accuweather 7-day forecast. much cooler by the middle of the week guys. >> okay. >> thank you cecily. much more "action news" coming your way. stick around. we'll be right back. >> okay.

well, sir. after some serious consideration i'd like to put in my 15-year notice. you're quitting!? technically retiring, sir. with a little help from my state farm agent i plan to retire in 15 years. wow! you're totally blindsiding me here. who's gonna manage your accounts? this is a devastating blow i was not prepared for. well, i'm gonna finish packing my things. 15 years will really sneak up on you. jennifer with do your exit interview and adam made you a cake. red velvet. oh, thank you. i made this. take charge of your retirement. talk to a state farm agent today. >> meteorologist adam joseph here now to tell us if you liked today's temperatures don't get used to it. >> yeah, big changes coming the middle and the end of week. we need a little break from the intense heat and the humidity. we're not getting rain but changes coming on wednesday. double scan live radar with the high humidity we had a couple scattered downpours and

thunderstorms. right now everything is quiet no matter where you are. chester county kind of taking the hit today with some of those heavier downpours earlier this afternoon. as we go to the action cam it was dry in center city at logan square. you can see some of the salvia here in full bloom. but again the ground is very, very dry so if you have a lot of those flowers out you're needing to water them at least every other day right now. as we look at the almanac in philadelphia, 84 for the high temperature, 12 degrees above the normal and shy of that record 93 degrees which was set back way late in the late 1800s. as we look at the numbers in and around center city 83 in northeast philly, chestnut hill at 79, south philadelphia 81 degrees, cherry hill coming in at 79. it is much cooler but still very humid at the shore. 66 for the boardwalk the same around avalon and strathmere. allentown one of the warmer spots. it has been this afternoon. with a little more sun and away from some southeasterly wind coming off of the water

at 85 degrees. as we look at satellite and radar ana's remnants are pushing offer the coast sliding just to our south so we're not able to really tap into that moisture. off to the west you can see all the severe weather boxes popping up in the ohio valley. the chunk of that energy is going the lift far to our north and west so we're going to miss that as well here tomorrow so unfortunately we are in the ripoff zone of both of these features over the next 24 hours. tonight a spotty shower in a couple of spots. otherwise it's warm, muggy 63 to 66 degrees. and we'll wake up tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock very humid out there dewpoints 65 in allentown, 71 in millville. this is a measure of how much moisture's in the air. within the mid to upper 60's to near 70 there's a lot of moisture so it feels very oppressive out but look what happens to tomorrow afternoon after the front passes through, those dewpoints drop into the middle 50's so it will feel a lot more comfortable here tomorrow afternoon compared to the morning hours. so, as we look at the lehigh valley, partly sunny tomorrow,

breezy, warm with a temperature of 86 degrees. and at the shore tomorrow the winds are switching more out of the southwest and eventually northwest late in the day so that will kick that temperature up even on the sand to 82 degrees after a little bit of morning fog. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, 88 december tomorrow, warm breeze but again drier with the humidity in the afternoon. and then it's windy and cooler on wednesday only 69 for a high with just a few clouds and then it's picture perfect here middle of the week and toward the end of the week thursday friday, 72 to 76 degrees with low humidity and then turning unsettled over the weekend especially saturday. maybe a leftover shower early on sunday morning and then drier monday, partly sunny at 82 degrees. so no real organized area of rain. unfortunately the best chance will come over the weekend guys. >> okay. >> thank you so much. and of course stay ahead of the changes in the weather by checking 6abc.com/weather. you can always find live storm tracker six radar in that seven-day forecast also get the very latest from our team
