78 is the current temperature in allentown and 82 in philadelphia and 80 in wilmington. down the shore 80 in cape may. not adding much to the shore temperature but in philadelphia we could go 6 or 7 degrees higher. here are the dew points and in some places dew points in the 70s. 75 in dover. anything 70 or better basically where all these darker shades are on the dew point map that is oppressive humidity. we are back in the zone, trenton and allentown not all that far off. everybody needs to take it easy and cool drinks and keep your eyes on the skies too. between now and 1:30 and on to 3:00. a chance across the region that some of us could receive a drenching downpour and a thunderstorm and lots of lightning and similar to the storms we saw yesterday. we advance this and movement to these and in general like yesterday not a big steering in the atmosphere and these are liable to pop up and drift past you and that means if they dump

a lot of rain you could get a lot even if your neighbors 10 miles down the road are not seeing it. we start to move up to 10:00, and a shot of it dying down at 9:00 or so. but be wary of drenching downpours because they can make the water come down on the roads. and warm and humid in the lehigh valley. and can't rule out a spotty drencher and 87 is the forecast high and down the shore sun and humid and less of a chance of rain. and 82 in surf city and 83 in ocean city and 82 in cape may and closer to the mid-80s in places like bethany beach and the rip current chance is low, 89 is your high in philadelphia and a mix of clouds and sun and humid and can't rule out a pop-up thunderstorm that could be kind a memorable one with the heavy downpour and winds are light today. evening thunderstorm possible as you just saw otherwise we dip to 73 overnight and still a bit on the humid side. and into tomorrow a mix of

clouds and sun and humid and like today there is a chance of an afternoon shower developing and in this case there doesn't look to be as much and the model consistently is putting most of the stuff in the northern tier of the region and a chance of thunderstorms around tomorrow but not as much as today. 89 and humid and spotty thunderstorm today and spotty storm in the northern areas, northern high of 89 and overnight into saturday morning a front gets through and the indications are that it's a brief shower early saturday morning. we are hoping for quick improvement during the day and warm and a high of 86 and sunshine coming back. lots of sun and low humidity and 84 and the next tie to watch would be monday as another front arrives and sara and rick that produces strong heavy thunderstorms. >> i got drenched during the 5:00 news. >> yes. there were ducks during her live show.
