comes back up and 63 allentown and trenton 67 and low 70s for cape may. as we head into your wednesday, the middle of the week as we say good-bye to august, don't turn around and don't look back after the hottest month, for august another day in the 90s and the humidity comes up as well. the good thing about this front, it brings a cool down and kicks what could become tropical storm which is now tropical depression 8 off the coast, temperatures 82 on thursday with a lot of clouds and showers around and high pressure comes in behind that for the majority of the holiday weekend. but at the shore tomorrow watch the rip currents they remain on the moderate side and large swells that could easily knock you down on the sand, 82 the jersey shore and 84 at the delaware beaches and partly sunny and the rough surf with the sea breeze adding to the easterly component to the waves
