david was proud to be an american soldier. and i know i'm prejudiced because he was my son, but i don't think he had a mean bone in his body. there is not a day that i don't think about david. when i saw donald trump attack another gold star mother, i felt such a sense of outrage.

fall apart as they try to puncture in with high pressure in control. and we are dealing with severe weather rocking through parts of the midwest right now and multiple tornado warnings splitting indianapolis and parts were hammered by a strong tornado that passed through and this tornado watch could expand and really volatile weather in this region with a cold front passing through. mostly clear and slightly humid back at home and the night tonight is not as comfortable as the last two nights if you slept with the windows open in the suburbs and 68 in center city. that pushes through the east tomorrow and 90 ahead of it locally and humid tomorrow as the dew points go from the 50s to low 60s to upper 60s and could be an isolated downpour north and west of philadelphia breaking away from the front, but most areas stay dry, and same thing for friday. a spotty downpour or

thunderstorm, and this is when the heat will peak along with the humidity of 93 degrees and feeling more like 100 degrees across philadelphia and especially to the south and east. tomorrow that sea breeze goes into effect and the winds continue to funnel in off the water the last couple of days and more humid and low 80s for highs, sea isle city 83 and 85 in rehoboth beach. and disorganized here with the cluster of thunderstorms no circulation on thunderstorms trying to wrap around one another but has an 80% chance of being named hermine over the next five days and if if you look at the spaghetti plot this is a 500 mile spread so high uncertainty as to what happens to hermine if it's name that and

the indications are it could be more like a tropical storm and not so much a hurricane at that time. the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast heat wave number six stretches from thursday right through next tuesday with temperatures at or above 90 degrees and most stays are humid and we get one break here from the humidity on saturday. and it returns on sunday and a chance of a thunderstorm on monday and even on wednesday, a week from now. only 1 degree below 90 with the muggy weather sticking an. thank you. abc world news tonight with david muir is next on channel 6.
