>> meteorologist adam joseph with your accuweather forecast and reprieve coming. >> yes, it is coming. you know, we have the hottest day and humidity yesterday. it's a little better today. a little better tomorrow.

>> i really want to run. >> as we take a look at double scan live radar we do have a decent amount of sunshine. there was one scattered downpour an hour in parts of salem county but nothing out there to cool you off. in fact, as we take a look at the action cam it was down in parts of olde city on independence mall. looks like a beautiful day from this vantage point but when you step out the door you immediately break that sweat. as we look at the temperatures, we do have a sea breeze, at least at the shore communities. 84 right now in sea isle city, 85 in beach haven with that southerly wind off the ocean of 72. dover at 88 degrees and then we're in the 90's right along i-95 including millville and uner 80's to the north and west. yesterday we had heat indices across-the-board well over 100 degrees. today from i-95 north and west it was mainly in the mid and upper 90's for your heat index. southern areas a little hotter because of that very humid air coming in off of the ocean

feeling like 101 right now in millville. however, those dewpoints which really drive up that uncomfortable feeling, when it's in the 70's, that's oppressive. that's where we were yesterday and for most of today. tomorrow drops down to 65. so it's humid but it's not oppressive. it's better. and then take a look at wednesday through the beginning of the weekend. we are in the pleasant range. a really nice stretch in fact probably the nicest stretch of at least four or five days there we've seen so far this summer season on its way. we have a cold front just to our west. that first front will drop the humidity some tomorrow. there's a second front near chicago. notice not a lot of action with this so we're not looking at any sort of widespread severe weather tomorrow as a cold front passes through. it will be scattered and the same thing for tonight a stray thunderstorm is possible but most of us dry warm and muggy. 70 to 78 degrees. but as this front slides through tomorrow, it's n remains hot, a little less humid. scattered storm possible and then this high pressure comes

in and becomes a muscle maker for the rest of the week. it brings a beautiful change and seasonable with highs at 85. down the shore tomorrow, sun and clouds, 86 surf city, atlantic city 87. there could be an evening thunderstorm as the front passes through. same thing for southern tip of cape may at 86 and rehoboth and bethany beach upper 80's and again that stray evening thunderstorm with the ocean temperature of 78 degrees. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, sun and clouds tomorrow, hot but less humid at 93 degrees. again a-few pop-ups in the afternoon and then wednesday through saturday, sun mainly dominating the forecast and the sky, just a few clouds each day. highs a little below average in the mid 80's with low humidity. and then on sunday, sun and clouds mixing. there will be little uptick in the humidity sunday, could be some late day thunderstorms developing but the best chance right now could hold off until monday of 86 degrees. so, 24 more hours and then we get that break. >> then we run then we go running.

>> i'm counting on it. >> okay. >> i didn't see how far. >> topping today's people scene after years of speculation and gossip country music power couple blake chelten and miranda lambert announced they're getting divorced. they released joint statement saying "this is not the future we envisioned and it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter. i'm sigourney weaver and new york is my home. there's no place like it in the world...
