we have to talk to our bosses about that. lets go to where the action cam was today at the camden waterfront taking a look at the delaware towards philadelphia, we had building clouds out there. sun kind of fighting with clouds and stormtracker 6 live double scan showing that we did have a couple of isolated showers over south jersey, and that is just ground cover there, we are generally looking at dry conditions and the temperatures are definitely beginning to warm, made it up to 82 in philadelphia, the first time this month we hit the 80s and temperatures are climbing through the 80s and possibly hitting 90 on friday. so right now, it's pretty warm out there. allentown and reading 83 degrees and philadelphia and wilmington 82 and trenton 80 and you get closer to the coast with the ocean temperature 57 degrees and the boardwalk in atlantic city currently only 69, satellite 6 along with action radar showing the system off the virginia coast is now off the coast of

new england, you can see how it is spinning, once it does we are under the influence, the bermuda high and that is what is bringing us the very warm air. tonight a stray shower early and then the skies continue to clear, overnight 57 and 60 for center city and a warm night and through the day tomorrow, we are looking at mostly sunny skies and it's going to be warm, 86 degrees in philadelphia. 87 in allentown and 86 in trenton and cape may quite a bit cooler, 69 degrees, the humidity will be pretty low, the bad news is, it's an ozone action day, that means that the ground level ozone will be high. if have you heart conditions or respiratory conditions, a good idea to limit your outdoor activity because it can have an impact on your health. this shows the dew points, a measure of moisture in the air, when they are below 50 it's

pretty dry, a little more humid on thursday and then the dew points peaking friday, saturday and sunday, 60 degrees that is not that bad but higher than we experienced. you'll feel slightly on the muggy side and a front pulls through and drops the dew points and brings us cooler air. the exclusive accuweather forecast sunny and warm and 86 tomorrow and we bump it up to 88 on thursday and friday could hit 90 degrees for the first time this year with the possibility of pop-up thunderstorms, on saturday warm and muggy and thunderstorms are possible again and then sunday almost a repeat performance. 85 degrees and still warm with thunderstorms and then it looks like we'll have a front slipping through for memorial day. what that will do is bring us winds off the ocean, an easterly flow that will cool us off if temperatures in the mid to upper 80s are too warm for you you'll

like memorial day more. a mixture of clouds and sun and high of 76 degrees. >> all right cecily thanks. what's the deal? is coming up next.
