and if you are traveling, and heading up north, philly at 72, new york coming in at 70. and 73 in norfolk and 65 in altuna and a 66 into pittsburgh. moisture is going to be a part of day. we will deal with the humidity and we have the dew . in the upper 60s -- point up to the upper 60s. the satellite and radar not picking up outs a -- on a lot. a few clouds streaming in. partly cloudy throughout the day. but you know as we go into time again, we have the heating of the day, and showers and thunderstorms, and it's possible to pop up here. it's the fact that a cold front back towards the west will stall out a little bit heading over central virginia. with that, that could be the focal point where we see showers and thunderstorms going into the afternoon. ahead of it, we are feeling that warm air. that cold front not going to be bringing any type of cold air even cool air behind that. as we look at the future radar, here's what i am talking about. showers and thunderstorms going into the afternoon around three. but most of this looks like it's going to stay to the east of u

north of new york city, vermont, new hampshire, maine, massachusetts, connecticut. dry from phillythwards, temperature around 92 degrees. but the humidity values will be lower today. so it won't be as oppressive. now as we go towards tomorrow, it looks like a dry day everywhere. temperatures once again right around 90 degrees. it's not until thursday and friday that the humidity increases along with the temperatures and we're still looking at possibilities of mid to upper 90s on friday, around washington, d.c. so nothing compared to the heat wave of last week. but still on the hot side. >> we'll take it for now, bill, thank you. >>> a famous skin art couple is a couple no more. plus late-breaking allegations from across the pond that amy winehouse was a phone-hacking victim as well. your first look at entertainment is straight ahead. >>> you're watching "first look" on msnbc. here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more americans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choic
