moms who are frustrated with just how pregnancy can do a number on your body. then she posted a picture two weeks after the baby was born and finally 14 weeks after baby. she says she hasn't quite bounced back and wants other moms to know, you know what, sometimes it just takes time and we can't all look as amazing at kate middleton does and isn't that the truth. and finally speaking of babies, choosing the perfect name can be a challenge but just like anything else these days, we have an app for that. it's pretty much like baby name match making. like tinder for parents searching for the perfect fit. it is called baby name. you swipe right on the names you like and so does your partner, left if you don't like them. and just the way tinder matches together, you can review the ones you both loved and hated. it even offers you the genesis of the name and its meaning and the best part is, it's free. so i downloaded it because i wanted to see how it works. somebody else to work with to

now out towards king of prussia. blue route southbound as you're making your way towards 95 to go into delaware it's really a crawl there about 5 miles per hour if you can imagine that. and of course 95 very slow going there as well. let's take a look at 95. this is right through cottman. we had an accident here in the southbound lanes. it has been cleared but you can see nice long line of traffic there if you're making your way down towards the city. and if you're heading to the shore this weekend let's check out the 42 freeway. this is right at creek road and you can see beginning to see that long line of traffic going from the walt whitman bridge now all the way down to the atlantic city expressway. and moving along showing you washington township, we have an accident here at wilson road and woodbury turnersville road. keep that in mind if you're out there as wie. back to you eva and brian. >> autumn already a great mom so that little boy or girl in there,. >> thank you. it will be my fourth so i have lots of experience. >> meteorologist adam joseph back with the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast coming up next.

>> ♪♪ >> enjoying this nice weather 'cause it's not going to last. >> i like to leave a smile on your face its a little smart smile. no, we have intense heat and humidity that arrives back into the area tomorrow. as we look at double scan live radar, it's been a nice break the last 48 hours, no storms, no heat, we've had some cool nights but now we're getting into the end of july and this is a little more typical of what we should be dealing with over the upcoming weekend right now though at the shore upper 70's for your temperatures, 79 in millville 80 degrees in allentown. the poconos in the low 70's. so again, this is still below average for this time of year but you probably noticed that the humidity did increase a little bit more today than yesterday. and that's because of that

persistent wind coming in out of the southeast off of that marine layer of air over the ocean. as we look at satellite and radar we have a warm front draped just to our west. that warm front is going to push through a little later tonight. it's going to throw clouds our way which it already is across much of the area and eventually we'll break a couple of showers out late tonight, early tomorrow morning. in fact, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, future tracker this is the very latest model run showing that there could be a couple of downpours in parts of the area first thing tomorrow morning. then as the warm front pulls to the north, we'll have hazy sunshine tomorrow but the sky will be a very like 50-50 shot of sun and clouds. it's not going to be as bright as it was today and in the afternoon at 4:30, you can see there is some scattered downpours and thunderstorms around the region. not everyone is going to see them tomorrow but it is a possibility that you could get hit by a quick downpour or thunderstorm for the beginning of the weekend. in addition to that, it's going to be one of the hottest weekends in fact the hottest

weekend of the year so far. air temperatures tomorrow 90. you factor in the humidity it will feel like 98. sunday the air temperature is 95 and the heat index will spike up to 104 degrees and because of that, the highly urbanized areas in the heart of the delaware valley also including northern parts of delaware that heat advisory goes into effect at noon, lasts through about six to eight clock on sunday evening before that heat index will be between 100 and 105 degrees and we haven't felt it this hot yet this year so here are some heat tips. seek out air conditioning if you can. take breaks in the shade if you have to work outdoors. drink lots of water and also check on the pets, the kids and the elderly because the pets, the kids, the elderly their mechanisms in their body cannot cool off that kind of intense heat as quickly as let's just say an adolescent. as we look at the shore forecast saturday 80 degrees, humid with an isolated storm. sunday an afternoon sea breeze. much better down there the second half of the weekend of
