no lightning strikes, no thunderstorms. but this is just a front that's beginning to push in from the north and west that will stall over the region as we get into the lat parter of tonight and your tuesday. where it has been raining through much of the last hour or two, temperatures are in the 70's for allentown, reading as well as wilmington and lancaster. still 83 and dry in philadelphia. and cooler in new jersey because of a wind coming in off the water all day so that is sea breeze effect with an ocean temperature of 71. boundary pushing in right now. we'll put on the brakes for the next 24 to 36 hours until high pressure come from the west to kick this away and what it means is we are unsettled so there will be an isolated shower or even a quick thunderstorm late tonight in a few locations. otherwise it's warm and humid, 67 to 70. in fact the humidity truly spikes tonight and tomorrow to the oppressive level feeling very tropical out there and will help ignite some of the pop-up storms really at any time. 6 o'clock tomorrow morning it

is cloudy across much of the area and again you see a downpour or thunderstorm here or there. as we get into the lunchtime also hour also seeing some of those scattered storms south of philadelphia. then in the afternoon, you can see it becomes a little more numerous once a little bit of sun break out during the middle part of the day. and northwest of philadelphia, north of the pennsylvania turnpike, there's a slight chance of some of these storms will turn strong with very torrential rain, some gusty winds especially towards the lehigh valley and the poconos. again, not everyone getting hit. it's not a washout tomorrow but as that front continues to slowly progress through painfully here, 10 o'clock tomorrow night we're still dealing with possibly a line of some gusty thunderstorms and again very heavy rainfall. so, as we take a look at how it's going to feel when you step out, very humid with dewpoints near 70 during the day tomorrow but after that front moves away, those dewpoints drop into the 50's for the most part going right into the holiday weekend, so very dry air moving in which

means it will be comfortable and also that sunshine looks to dominate that second half of the seven day. so, down the shore tomorrow not the best of days to be on the sand, warm and humid, a lot of clouds and a spotty storm, 77 with moderate risk for rip current and a water temperature of 71. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast unsettled at times tomorrow, 84 degrees. then that dropping humidity on wednesday and beyond. wednesday itself sun and clouds, maybe a leftover spitting shower here or there but by thursday, friday, it is beautiful. sun and clouds, warm, uner 80's. humidity stays in check here as we go into the holiday weekend and right now every day looks to be pretty decent with temperatures in the upper 80's. there will be a southern system that may try to clip southern delaware, new jersey, saturday night into sunday morning but at this part we'll just kind of keep it dry and that system -- hope that system continues to slide to our south. >> can you believe it's almost july 4. >> which means.
