that's oppressive. in addition to that we'll have temperatures in the 90's and also it will be very unsettled. this is future tracker wednesday afternoon showing that we'll liking see some showers and thunderstorms bubbling up. they'll be scattered but we keep that chance of storms really right through the week and right through the weekend. right now temperatures in the 80's. philadelphia 83, pretty comfortable. allentown 84. trenton 82. millville 81. cape may 80 and wilmington currently 82 degrees. satellite6 along with action radar showing that clouds are really beginning to thin out. there's an upper level disturbance that's bringing some rain across parts of virginia. that's what's tossed the cloud cover our way. meantime farther down to the south there's low pressure that's spinning that's bringing copious amounts of rain parts of georgia and florida and this actually will be sitting there for several days and that's part of the problem. that will actually help to feed more tropical moisture our way and keep us very unsettled from the middle of

the week right through the weekend. so, tonight a pretty quiet night. partly cloudy skies. it will be slightly humid but not bad for this time of the year. and temperatures about where we should be. 69 in philadelphia, allentown 60, trenton 64. the boardwalk in atlantic city 69. cape may 70 and wilmington 66 degrees. tomorrow high pressure just to our east will bring us mixture of clouds and sunshine. more sunshine than clouds. a lot brighter than today. it will be on the warm side. 89 degrees. slightly humid. that oppressive heat and humidity just down to our south and west. however, on wednesday, this high pressure sinks to the south, becomes that classic bermuda high heat pump. that will bring us temperatures around 90 degrees. it will be humid and that cold front really won't get here. so, we can't get the heat and the humidity to move out until a front moves in and that likely won't happen until the beginning of next week. so, tomorrow if you're on the beaches do be careful a moderate risk of rip currents again. the ocean temperature very warm, 78 degrees.

won't be quite as ho on the beaches as inland but temp in the 80's. jersey beaches about 83, delaware beaches 84 with that sea breeze with winds out of the southeast at about five to 10 miles per hour. so, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, tomorrow it will be on the warm side. mostly sunny skies. a touch on the humid side but dewpoints in the mid 60's so not all that bad. 89 degrees. on wednesday, this is when you feel that difference in the air mass. muggy with dewpoints in the 70's. a high of about 90 degrees with some scattered storms and the chance of storms continues on thursday for the eagles preseason game. it will be humid again, a little bit hotter, 91 degrees. but the peak of the heat arriving on friday and saturday. 94 degrees on friday. saturday 95. you factor in the humidity. that heat index above 105 degrees so that is dangerously hot. again, some scattered showers and thunderstorms and sunday temperatures ease back a little bit but not much

relief. still in the 90's. 92 degrees. it looks like finally by monday temperatures will slide south of 90 degrees. 89 degrees with a good chance of some showers and thunderstorms. so this will be heat wave number five. whatever you did to stay cool for heat waves one through four, do it again. >> do it gain. cecily thank you. abc's world news tonight with david muir next on channel six.
