weather the next couple of days and then fall pushes in during the upcoming weekend. we look at the action cam along manayunk along the toe path there. great running area but i tell you, this lady has the right idea, maybe after her run, it's extremely humid out there, it didn't take long to break a sweat on this tuesday afternoon. as we look at stormtracker 6 live double scan a lot of clouds above but even with the cloud cover today. it felt comfortable with no precipitation whatsoever in the clouds and at this point, it's way down to the south, 70s in the state of new jersey in delaware with the east-northeasterly wind and 78 and atlantic city airport 78 and 76 in cape may but humid in those areas, despite temperatures in the 70s. and where we saw sun in the north and west. temperatures responded to the lower to mid-80s. dew point wise if the number is over 65 and over 70 it is -- i

don't want to say disgusting but it is tropical. 71 in millville and upper 60s for philadelphia and some drier air trying to push in during the northern areas and many of us tomorrow will drop the dew points back into the localer 60s. satellite and radar, we see a spin on the virginia and north carolina border, that is the remnants of what was tropical storm julia way to the south, it has barely moved over the last week or so. locking the clouds in for us, holding the front to the south and keeping the humidity kind of across the area. for tonight it's partly cloudy and mild and patchy fog and humid, 59 in the out lying suburbs to the north and west. 68 durings for center city and high pressure is in control here for wednesday and the high wedges down a little tomorrow. it pushes the front and moisture out to sea. partly sunny and not as muggy

seasonable here monday and 74. and sunshine mixing with clouds and a couple of showers on tuesday of 76 degrees. we see the flip of a switch there, a day or two late as we change the seasons on the calendar to what you see on the seven day. >> sounds good. >> adam thank you. >> next on "action news," we look at privacy concerns online, no matter the website you use, are you likely being tracked some how by someone, in what is the deal we have four easy tips on how to protect your information. >> and "action news" is about interaction with you, follow us on social media to communicate with us, facebook.com/6abcactionnews. twitter #6abcaction. join us and be a part of the action. third president?
