and karen rogers has the traffic good morning. >> reporter: i'll be losing the jacket this morning, as we take a look we have several issues to talk about, obviously one is excessive heat warning. heat index could feel like 99 up to 104 or more, even in the advisory counties oppressive heat and high humidity dewpoints in the 70s. an air quality alert, one more reason to limit your outdoor and exertion today especially in a sensitive group. 79 degrees currently if philadelphia. 76 in wilmington, 77 as you step outside in trenton. 72 at this hour in allentown and reading, 75 in cape may. as i mention the the dewpoints are high this morning, a dewpoint of 80 in dover, that's the kind of thing you feel when you're walking around new orleans in the summer. 78 in millville. 74 in wilmington, any number over 70 is high humidity and oppressive humidity as we go through the day we have an oppressive high of 97 degrees. with the heat index values going higher than that. even as late as 7:00 p.m. we'll be at 94. the other issue is strong thunderstorms possible i'll have more on that on future tra

let's go over to david murphy and matt pellman in for karen rogers. happy 4th of july eve. >> reporter: yes it is we have cloud cover moving off the coast. we have thunderstorms out to sea. no worries, it's far away from us. in pittsburgh you see clouds and showers, you might see a pop-up shower or thunderstorm in the northern and western suburbs. 73 degrees in philadelphia. 60s in trenton, allentown, reading and lancaster. 69 in millville. 72 in wilmington. 71 on the beachfront there in cape may. and dewpoints are still a little high from philadelphia down through millville, wilmington, and especially in dover and cape may where they are in the 70s. so anything over 60 indicates humid air when you get into the upper 60s and 70s that's darn humid. we expect the numbers to drop during the day. it should be less sticky in afternoon. 76 degrees by 7:00. 88 by noon. the high is 92 just a little bit humid. 09 by 5:00 p.m., 88 degrees by 7:00 p.m. tonight. more on the possibility of a spotty thunderstorm with future tracker 6 coming up. we have to start tal
