>> a havertown couple celebrated by peco for doing

their part to save the environment. marcus and amy were the 50,000th peco customers to get rid of the refrigerator through the smart appliance program. they were awarded an energy efficiency prize package including 500 bucks towards the purchase of a new energy saving appliance. >> how cool. >> yeah. >> all right meteorologist adam joseph here. we're going get hot under the collar weather. >> some of the hottest temperatures and heat we've felt so far this summer season. as we take a look right now at double scan live radar all is quiet on this friday evening. that will change at times on saturday but let's not jump the gun and enjoy this friday evening. as we take a look at the action cam along the river banks, taking a look at some of the beautiful flowers all aglow. they've had plenty to drink over the last month and a half with well above normal rainfall. 77 right now the boardwalk in atlantic city, the same for sea isle city. we have that wind coming in

off of the water. then you head inland and temperatures are a few degrees warmer for millville trenton allentown and the poconos also sitting in the lower 70's. as we look at satellite and radar, clouds are now filtering in from the west. the high and with these cirrus clouds and then they'll lower and thicken as a warm front is to the west east of pittsburgh. that front as the it pulls through late tonight will spark a shower or scattered downpour maybe even a rumble of thunder late tonight first thing tomorrow morning at 8:30 indicating again not a lot of rain around the region but there will be a few floating through and then in the afternoon tomorrow, it's hazy it's hot its very humid and there will be some scattered downpours and thunderstorms popping at times,. again not everyone is going to see them but it is fair game for anyone to possibly see a quick hitting downpour or thunderstorm at some point during the day on saturday. then as we get into sunday, that's when the heat and humidity will spike. tomorrow the air temperature in philadelphia 90. you factor in those high

dewpoints it's going to feel like 98 degrees. then on sunday, 95 degrees is the air temperature and thus far this year our highest heat index in philadelphia was 101. we're going for 104 on sunday afternoon. that is dangerous because we haven't really been acclimated to this kind of heat and humidity combination this year so far so you've got to take it easy here the second half of the week especially if you live in the highly urbanized areas around the heart of the delaware valley, anywhere in the orange where that heat index will be between 100 and 105. if you're heading to the poconos at least you're going to get it a little bit cooler, a little more comfortable. 79 tomorrow with a spotty thunderstorm around. sunday it's 86 up there very muggy but we won't have the heat indices in the 100's up in the mountains and at the shore 75 is the ocean temperature and with the sea breeze this weekend, it will also keep it equally as cool there. 80 on saturday, very humid with an isolated chance

of a storm but it's very, very small and then on sunday that afternoon sea breeze keeping temperatures in the mid 80's despite that it is also going to feel very tropical down there even though you're not going to be in the 90's. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast humid, a scattered storm at times tomorrow but 90. we kick up the chance for really any widespread storms here sunday. it's 95 but again that dangerous heat and humidity combination. still steamy, 92 on monday and stormy at times with the next front pulling through and we stay around 90 degrees tuesday and wednesday. you get three days in a row of 90 or above that does make eight heat wavily right now could be a five day heat wave before we try to go into the upper 80's, thursday, friday. it's really not that much of a relief but the humidity will drop a little bit as we get into the middle of next week. so, just take it slow this evening... this week, drink a lost water and have some fun in the water. >> sounds good to me. thanks my man. as you make plans for the weekend be sure to check 6abc
