at night. feels 93 wilmington and millville and 93 trenton. you can see though the areas that had gotten some showers and thunderstorms earlier this evening feels quite a bit better there with a heat index in the mid 70s. satellite 6 along with action radar showing here is the system that is pulling through, it's a cold front, not really a lot of cold air behind it temperatures will still be in the 90s but will provide a wind shift again for parts of our region but tomorrow morning you step outside and head out to work it's going to be very humid. bright sunshine, warm at 6:00, 78 degrees by 8:00, 80 degrees but i want to show you what happens with the dew points as we head through the day. future tracker showing 8:30 in the morning and dew points across the board in the 70s. as we head through the day we get slightly drier air to mix down from the north. by 6:00 philadelphia areas to the north dew points in the upper 60s and areas to the south dew points in the 70s that is the higher humidity so it's going to feel a little bit better again for philadelphia and areas to the north

wilmington. allentown, 78. >> interpreter: , 79. philadelphia, the warm spot, at 84 degrees. and millville currently at 76. satellite 6 showing this piece of energy that's rolling through right now. again, the most intense part is right over us, really south of philadelphia, and as it rolls through, tomorrow morning, the morning commute, the early part, don't be surprised if you do see a few spotty showers around 6:30. lots of clouds. kind of a gloomy start to the day. but as we head through the afternoon, all of this will be breaking up, giving way to some sunshine, possibility of a couple spotty showers late in the afternoon. mainly, though, we will be dry. and if the clouds break quickly enough, we could hit 90 degrees. if that happens, that would be heat wave day nine. i think it's going to be close. if the clouds hold firm, we could hit 89 degrees. whatever happens tomorrow, it will be a bit on the humid side after this rain. on friday, we get some drier air moving in. 91 degrees. but the weekend, this hazy, hot and humid conditions return with oppressive humidity and temperatures in

, but not as intense as the last heat wave. and philadelphia 76, wilmington 80, millville 73. and philadelphia earlier today dewpoints around 63. and now it is beginning to creep up. 69 degrees. the dewpoint of 78 in dover. dewpoints tomorrow will be in the 70s. it is going to get more humid and satellite 6 and action radar showing the main weather-making i am tracking is a cold front across the northern plains, that's what is moving through sunday. late in the day can bring us a lot of thunderstorms. and behind it, kind of a taste of fall for early next week. morning rush though there be warm and muggy. mixture of sun and clouds, 74 to 77, it will be dry. and heading through the day futuretracker showing we could be looking at some showers developing later in the afternoon. mainly across the coast, a breeze, otherwise hot. it gets more humid saturday with a high of 90 degrees. and stunned we could touch 90 begin before the cold front moves through with showers and thunderstorms, and then a big cooldown for early next week. so if you are down the shore tomorrow, 74 degrees. look o

in the 50s. allentown, 51. reading, 52. trenton, 57. millville dropping all the way down to 56 degrees. so really a great night to give the air conditioners a break. and tomorrow is going to be very similar to today. plenty of sunshine. today's high, 83. tomorrow may be 82 degrees. with that high pressure right over us so it won't be quite as breezy as today. but this high pressure is on the move. on wednesday, it starts to migrate to the east. and what that does, we get the return flow out of the south. so it will begin to warm up. still humidity should be the dew points in the 50s. 87 degrees. but before that cold front moves through late in the day on friday, temperatures will be spiking in the 90s with an increase in humidity. if you are down the shore tomorrow, enjoy. it's going to be beautiful. put the 61screen on. plenty of sunshine. winds out of the northeast at 5 to 10 miles per hour. well, we are getting close to the peak of tropical storm season. there are three systems in the atlantic. tropical depression fiona is falling apart. gaston just named will be a fish stor

. down from our high of 83. weaver 2 degrees below normal. allentown 65. reading 68. millville 62. cape may 71. wilmington 68 degrees. so another very, dry, comfortable night and satellite six with action radar is showing the reason why we have high pressure that was right over us today, it is just beginning to ease to the east, but this will allow another night of great sleeping conditions, and if you like last night you will like tonight. good night to open up the windows again. fifty-six the low in the cooler suburbs. sixty-five in center city. not quite as cool as last night the but still in the comfort zone. tomorrow with the high pressure moving to the east, we will start to get a return flow. so that means it will turn warmer, but dew point is still in the 50's. upper 50's. so still a pretty nice day but definitely will be on the warm side with a high of 87 degrees and then temperatures will be up into the lower 90's on friday, ahead of that cold front and it will be getting a lot more tropical, and then thursday, partly sunny, you'll feel the difference in the air mass. it will

in philadelphia. 72 in allentown and trenton, millville 70, cape may 73 and wilmington 72. the next cold front is still across the midwest and that will not be moving in until friday and it will come in at a dramatically weakened state. so nothing really waiting in the wings other than this. dew points right now 63 in philadelphia. just slightly muggy. dew points in the 70s across the deep south and the midwest and that is going to be heading our way. so the morning rush forecast we'll see a mixture of clouds and sunshine. it will be warm and it will be noticeably more muggy than the past several days. 6:00, 69 degrees. by 8:00, 71 degrees. and as we head through the day, it's going to be hot, more humid with a high of 90 and with that cold front getting closer could be an isolated thunderstorm mainly north and west. i think most of our region will be rain-free. and then on friday this front gets closer, kind of limps through and that will bring us a surge of heat. 93 degrees, the heat index will feel like 100 and as that front rolls through, could get a spotty thunderstorm. if you

now in allentown, 75, at the coast, cape may, 74. and 68 in millville. and we have a cold front from new england back across the mid atlantic as well. this will sag to the south and east through the rest of the overnight hours. even as you wake up on monday. and on monday afternoon, a couple of scattered showers and storms. future tracker 6 showing another change. dew point numbers will be increasing. you can see along the 95 corridor. by noon in the upper 60s, lower 70s as far as the dew points are concerned. which means the humidity makes a bit of a comeback as well. so it's hot and humid tomorrow, turning cooler later in the workweek. and also tracking the traffic. we have tropical depression number eight, number nine, and hurricane gaston. a closer look coming up in the exclusive accuweather forecast. walter. >> thank you, melissa. a bus driver who was an undocumented immigrant without a commercial license under arrest for a deadly crash on a highway in louisiana. >> a little help. fire fighters struck. >> emergency crews were already out at an accident site when a bus slammed in

areas. but temperatures are dropping around philadelphia, even millville, 79. atlantic city airport coming in at 79 degrees after another day of 90s around here. you wouldn't know that a front passed through. barely any delouds -- clouds with it this afternoon and this evening. it is now down to the south opening up those northerly winds and some good news for those children and students heading back to school that they started today. tomorrow morning, mostly sunny and pleasant with really no humidity. and temperatures in the 60s between 6:00 and 8:00 in the morning. as we look at the front to the north, there's another one arriving from the great lakes, but first, we go through high pressure. it's kind of reigniting of the atmosphere so to speak of dropping the humidity, dropping the air temperature. 89 degrees. so it is still technically very warm. that high will start to really fall apart here as we get into the middle of the week on wednesday as the front nears us. as that front approaches, it turns hazy, hot and humid for one more day on wednesday, 91 degrees with a mixture of

days so far this month temperatures below normal. allentown, 75. trenton, 69. millville, 65. cape may down to 64. and wilmington, 71. satellite 6 along with action radar showing the system i'm tracking for saturday, it's a cold front. there's a line of some showers and thunderstorms. what will happen ahead of this front, we get a surge of winds out of the southwest. so that will bring us a one-day return to heat and humidity. but it doesn't arrive until saturday. tomorrow, a pretty nice day. mixture of clouds and sunshine. kind of in between systems. 87 degrees, which is seasonable. it will be slightly more humid than today, but dew points in the low 60s, which for august standards is actually pretty comfortable and tomorrow night, if you're heading to bethlehem for the first night of musikfest, it will be a nice night. 6:00, 81 degrees. by 7:00, 80. 8:00, you'll notice the humidity beginning to rise. 77 degrees. and then by 10:00, temperatures dropping down into the mid-70s. but that humidity really gets oppressive on saturday. dew points in the 70s. the high 91. you factor in th

heat index, the way it feels philadelphia 107, allentown 101, wilmington 103, millville 107 and the atlantic city airport it feels like 108 degrees and this oppressive heat and humidity sticks with us right through the weekend. we have been seeing some pop-up showers and thunderstorms and one cluster has turned severe. a severe thunderstorm warning has been posted for a large section of chester county also southern montgomery and northern delaware county until 5:30 tonight. i want to show you this line of storms because this line is really vicious. it's moving east at 35 miles per hour and it stretches from 422 to the route 30 bypass p, 187 lightning strikes with this, so very heavy downpours making a mess of the evening commute and even the potential for small hail. so exton, grove, frazier valley forge malvern and paoli all in the path of the storm. you really want to get indoors immediately with all this lightening this is dangerous and unfortunately it's not going to relieve the heat. an excessive heat warning has been extended across our entire viewing area saturday and sunday

have higher heat indices down tots south. dovesouth -- to the south. dover and millville feel like 102. we got a break from the humidity today but it will come back with a vengeance tomorrow. the national weather service has issued an excessive heat warning for the i-95 corridor really all the counties surrounding i-95 through tomorrow and the outlying areas under an excessive heat advisory tomorrow. storm tracker6 live double scan showing what's happening tomorrow, we have a warm front that's going to be pressing through so ahead of this warm front we do have some thunderstorms developing across maryland, central pennsylvania, trying to work to the east. so later on tonight early tomorrow morning we could have some thunderstorms and i think we'll have more thunderstorms later in the day tomorrow. so this is what to expect tomorrow. this will really be the line say of extreme heat. wednesday temperatures could touch 90 but the heat index won't be as bad but tomorrow the heat index again dangerously hot, 100 to 105 with some heavy thunderstorms around. i'll have more details on the

areas where it feels like 101 in cape may and 95 in millville and 96 in beach haven, really no break from the heat and humidity from the shore. we are tracking severe storms popping from the south and west and this is senenergy that will role through overnight tonight and expect downpours after the 8:00 or 9:00 hour and a thunderstorm or two mixed in as well. picking up an additional quarter to half inch. when i come back we'll chat about the stretch of 90s to continue, and rick when the break arrives in the seven-day forecast. >> thank you. >>> a 39-year-old man is in police custody tonight after a stabbing out in the streets of tioga-nicetown section, police were called to the scene of german town avenue at 3:15 this afternoon. the victim was stabbed once in the abdomen he was taken to the hospital in critical condition. >>> new at 5:00, delaware state police say that a 73-year-old man is said to be okay after an accident caused his car to flip over at harvey road and hillside road in arden. the driver of the overturned car is in stable condition at christiana hospital. >>> n

break here. 89 in wilmington and right now 86 in dover and 87 in millville and upper 80s to the north and west and at the shore temperatures in the mid-80s with the ocean temperature pleasant at 70 degrees. satellite and radar, we have a stalled boundary to the south and that is where you see the downpours and thunderstorms erupting this afternoon, it's far enough to the south after the wave developed last night and early this morning and pubbed off the coast and moved the front to the south a little. that one to the north will be the heat and humidity buster for good here. as we go into next week. but for tonight, it's partly cloudy and warm and humid. in the suburbs and 74 in the city. to the south we go, that is where the extreme heat and humidity will remain. we should hate 90 to 91 in the city and rather muggy and the front to the north and west will stall an extra day or so and saturday the triple h, hazy, hot and humid. 90 for a high and eventuallily this low will release from the northern plains and head to the east and as it wipes through here it will bring strong to severe s

is 3 degrees below normal. so far august on the cool side. reading a rain cooled 74 and millville 78 and cape may 76 and wilmington 82 degrees. satellite 6 along with action radar showing it hasn't been a bright and sunny day, we are dealing with clouds at times. there is the isolated shower and high pressure will take control. and that clears things out nicely. partly cloudy and fog tonight developing in areas, 63 in the suburbs and the next two days enjoy it, the high pressure really anchored east of boston will bring us winds out of the northeast, a dry flow of air, dew points of 60 degrees, temperatures generally in the mid-80s, with loads of sunshine and not typical august weather. the next two days, enjoy it. it feels nice 84 if philadelphia tomorrow and 81 in allentown and wilmington 83. and on the beaches cooler, the boardwalk on atlantic city 80 and cape may 79 degrees. this is the time of year we typically have high dew points but the tracker shows you wednesday, thursday and friday, dew points generally in the low to mid-60s. we have a one day spike with dew points up into

degrees. normal high for this time of the year is 85. cape may millville 80, wilmington 78. allentown 77 and trenton 79 degrees and then the dewpoints, they really tell the story. dewpoints most of our region in the 50's. that's very comfortable. a little bit higher in parts of south delaware along the shore but compared to dewpoints in the 70's that we've experienced much this summer it feels great. satellite6 along with action radar showing behind this system that brought us that good soaking yesterday and last night, we've got high pressure and what this high pressure will do is slowly migrate easton night so it will be -- east tonight. tonight will be the coolest night since june 18. a great flight to give the air conditioning units a break, open up the windows get that fresh air in. 62 in philadelphia, allentown 51, wilmington 59 and cape may dropping down to 65 degrees. and tomorrow more sunshine. the day planner showing if you like today, i think you'll like tomorrow. plenty of sunshine. at 8 o'clock 67. by 2 o'clock, 80. by 5 o'clock, 82 and then temperatures dropping back into t

today and 82 in wilmington and dover as well as millville and along the shore 77 in beach haven and the ocean temperature pleasant at 75 degrees, sinking air overhead and you can't really get the clouds to form and with the dry air mass in place, no humidity whatsoever to fuel some of those clouds, but small changes are arriving here tomorrow and especially by the end of the week. for tonight it's clear and cool and we are in the comfy zone and 56 in the suburbs with a light wind out of the southwesterly direction and tomorrow the highs off the coast. it is still comfortable and we don't pump in the humidity right away. the numbers go up to 87 degrees and back above normal and ahead of a cold front on thursday, the muggy weather returns and we jump it back up to 89 degrees and could be a shower or thunderstorm west of philadelphia but overall thursday looks dry especially for the shore. again low risk for rip currents and ocean in new jersey, 81 degrees and the delaware beaches 82 degrees and knock off 5 or 6 degrees with the sea breeze in effect with the south we wind. we look at t

in the afternoon, 100 in wilmington and feeling like 100 in millville and you don't escape the uncomfortable air, allentown and reading. the next pattern for the next three days, high pressure the upper level ridge stacked really warm air through the atmosphere that won't budge, so we are looking for 90s for the deep south and into the mid-atlantic, while we are under the influence of that high, low pressure in the form of a tropical wave, continues to track to the west northwest into the bahamas and the gulf of mexico. by the end of this three day period coming up, that is this weekend, and a 70% chance that this tropical wave will baltimore hermine, at this point still disorganized. the place to beat the heat a little. is down at the shore. melissa magee, is down in cape may, you got the breeze i see it flapping with your scarf there catching a break in cape may. >> reporter: yes. adam, i mean it's nice here at cape may, we are right by the cape may lewes ferry, the mb delaware, we took the three hour tour -- from yearsy over to delaware and we made it back on the cape may si

in millville ann little better again north and -- and a little better again north and west. 88 in the poconos 91 in allentown. northerly winds slowly pulling in some drier dewpoints. as we look at satellite and radar, a lot of dry air in place with respect to any cloud cover, any precipitation. high pressure coming in so as that high settles in to our north overnight tonight, we'll see that dropping humidity occur not only to the north where it is now but progress to the south. clear and warm, 64 in the suburbs to 73 degrees for center city. as we look at the forecast here for your saturday, the beginning of the weekend, it's sunny, it's hot but the difference tomorrow from today is really not the air temperature it's going to be the lower humidity. 92 in philadelphia, 90 in allentown, 91 reading so a little more tolerable out and the biggest difference will be the shore. the shore is the hottest location today, tomorrow cooler with the sea breeze only in the low 80's. philadelphia union in town here tomorrow if you're heading there into chester, mostly clear, a nice night. the st

north to northwesterly wind but still feeling like 97 in millville, same thing in atlantic city at the coast and 89 degrees in beach haven. let's talk about the tropics because we essentially have a tropical trio, three areas that we are watching. we'll take you down to the south first because we have tropical depression number nine just to the south of florida. this will more than likely strengthen into a tropical storm later on tonight or into the day on tuesday and we also have hurricane gaston that's a category two storm and tropical depression number eight. we'll go in a little tighter on storm tracker6 live double scan radar 3-d and with the center of the storm with gaston we have winds and wave heights as high as 34 feet so we're dealing with these long period swells that get closer and closer to our coastline. that is adding to the rip current risk across our region in combination with tropical depression number eight just off the coast of the carolinas and this will more than likely hit the outer banks of north carolina before it curves out to sea later this week. we'll ta

allentown 82 and wilmington and millville 80 and down the shore with the wind off the ocean, the ocean temperature off the jersey beaches 77 and the beach temperature, the air temperature also 77. satellite 6 along with action radar showing we are really focused across the northeast because there is high pressure just to the east of boston, it provides the sinking air and sifrking air drys out and that is why we have comfortable temperatures and the low humidity and tonight the coolest night for philadelphia in three weeks, if you don't have allergies it's a great night to clear out the air in your house and open up the windows and turn off the air conditioning, 59 in the lehigh valley and center city 65 degrees with the low humidity, a comfortable night and tomorrow again pretty nice weather, mostly sunny and low humidity. if you like today you'll like tomorrow. a carbon copy with a high of 84 degrees, heading into friday the high pressure loses control and we get the wind shifting out of the south. that brings us slightly more muggy conditions and warmer at 86 degrees and right

, allentown and reading it's 90. and millville 91 and a rain cooled 92 and factor in the dew points in the 70s, the current heat index, feels like 101 in philadelphia and 101 in cape may and allentown and reading and unfortunately the heat index will be building as we head into the weekend. satellite 6 along with action radar showing you can see the showers and the thunderstorms most of the activity north of that ridge of high pressure, and that high pressure is sticking around. so tonight will be a warm and muggy night. isolated thunderstorms mainly well north of philadelphia, partly cloudy skies and hopefully you can get outside late tonight and take a look at the perseid meteor shower, it should be the best one in decades. philadelphia 78 and allentown 75 and cape may 78 and wilmington 77. future tracker 6 showing it's brutal tomorrow. 2:00 a heat index in philadelphia, 106 and then saturday, the heat index even higher up to 108. this will could be the toughest heat wave so far this year. have you to be careful this is prolonged and stressful on the body, including today we are look

philadelphia. the same in millville and wilmington. allentown and trenton 107. cape may 108 and reading 104 and the heat index likely tomorrow will be even higher. now, storm tracker6 live double scan slowing that we have been seeing some pop-up showers and thunderstorms, nothing severe right now. there is one right over i-95 near palmyra, another one crossing the new jersey turnpike north of mount holly and another cluster near west chester and there's a cluster of thunderstorms leaving hunterdon county right now. not really cooling things off, nothing severe but we do have some lightning, some thunder and some heavy downpours and unfortunately this excessive heat warning last through the weekend. the national weather service has now expanded it to include our entire viewing area. tomorrow could be even hotter than today and the heat index you can see around the i-95 corridor into south jersey and delaware 110. that would make it the hottest day so far this year. i'll talk more specifics coming up in the full accuweather forecast. brian. >> all right, cecily thank you. >>> unde

oppressive. we have a number of 74 in philadelphia. seventy-eight in millville. lower 80's there in dover. 75 degrees to the north there in the poconos. the it is not just heat but also the humidity. when we look at high index we have seen so far today philadelphia heat inn, 111 degrees, 120 degrees in dover. heat index in allentown today of 107, and 111 down the coast in cape may. and, as we head over to bethlehem and lehigh valley we've got you covered because musikfest continues to roll on lady anbellam will be head liner tonight. 7:00 p.m. that temperature of 91. staying in the 80es into 8:00 right through 11:00 p.m. tonight underneath a partly cloudy sky. we will talk about the heat because it is quite dangerous. we have the excessive heat warning that stays up. some key tips, do what you can to help each other out. check on seniors and pets. stay hydrated with lots of water, seek out shade, void afternoon sun. if you don't have any air conditioning open up some windows and get a fan circulate to go get air moving around. coming up we will have the latest on our heat wave and l

philadelphia, millville still 100, dover 102, reading and allentown 92 and trenton 94 degrees, so the heat indices not as intense as it has been. the problem, though, tomorrow it's just going to be as hot but it's going to be noticeably more humid. so, an excessive heat warning has been posted for the i-95 corridor outlying areas, it's going to be hot there as well with a heat advisory and what's going on, there's a warm front that will be pushing in tonight and that's what will bring us that major uptick in the dewpoints. double scan live showing ahead of that warm front we do have some thunderstorms firing up right now, central pennsylvania and north of washington, d.c., a few of those could be sneaking in in the overnight hours. so, this is what to expect tomorrow. tomorrow will be the last day of extreme heat. i think temperatures will still be in the 90's on wednesday but the humidity will be much lower then. tomorrow, though, the heat index right up there. one oh he two to 108. so that is dangerously hot. some heavy thunderstorms around again. i'll have details on the timing of

and reading rain cooled in the 70s. philadelphia 93 degrees and millville 90 and trenton 89 and atlantic city airport 90 degrees and factor into the dew points, it feels like 104 in philadelphia and feels like 106 in millville and 104 in dover. the dew points will be dropping tomorrow but the heat is sticking around. satellite 6 along with action radar showing that this line of thunderstorms i am tracking since 4:00 beginning to fall apart. this is known as a prefrontal trough, jim gardner likes that term. we have the actual cold front across the ohio valley, that moves through in the wee hours of the morning. what will happen behind it, tomorrow inland dew points drop into the 70s, it won't be quite as intense but tonight an isolated thunderstorm is possible and warm and muggy and 73 to 79 degrees and tomorrow day eight of the heat wave, 92 degrees and still humid but not as oppressive as today. and this front will stall just to the south, a wave of low pressure develops along it and that brings a few evening thunderstorms, much like tonight, they will be spotty and not everyon

allentown and 70s in the poconos, but 90 or better for millville and atlantic city airport and beach haven, the shore did not catch a break with no land breeze or sea breeze, it's only in the 80s in allentown and trenton. but tropical humidity lingers at the shore so right now the heat index in the mid to upper 90s there. as we look at stormtracker 6 live double scan notice things are turning active in west virginia and virginia and southern parts of central pennsylvania, this is some energy that is rolling through, overnight tonight. once that sunsets, we'll see the radar start to pop in many different colors, so a round of downpours coming in tonight and even a thunderstorm or two with brief torrential rain and gusty winds and anywhere from a quarter to half inch of rain likely in the overnight hours. i'll let you know the exact timing when that pushes through and when the heat wave officially ends. coming up in the full accuweather forecast. >> we'll check back in later thank you. >> in other news, crews were responding to a house fire found a man dead inside this morning. crews were ca

87 and reading also 84 and allentown 82 and millville 81 and cape may 77 and the cool wind off the ocean now. satellite sheriff showing we had the clouds really thick earlier thanks to a prefrontal trough and they are beginning to break up. that system caused eight tornados in indiana and one was an ef 3, basically we just have the heat and humidity. a muggy night and not a good night to open up the windows because it will be oppressive. 71 in allentown un75 in cape may and wilmington 73 degrees. the heat index tracker showing if you want request sides i would do it early, by 9:00 already 91 degrees and tomorrow afternoon the heat index close to 100 and the overought pattern of the next three days keeps the heat here, we have an upper level ridge banked to the south and that means temperatures are in the 90s and the humidity is not as high as tomorrow through the weekend and that high pressure is not moving much. south of it you want the winds heading to the west and that will steer this disturbance i have been tracking for several days to the west close to florida, right now this

flow and that easterly quicking up on west ward down to millville and dover at this hour. if you're stepping out we got you covered the rest of the evening, drop down to 85 at 7:00 p.m. under mostly sunny sky, mostly clear at 8:00. 79 at 9:00 p.m. and the upper 70's at 10:00. 11:00 mostly clew skies. there is a concern as we head throughout the rest of oh you are weekend. long periods swells thanks to gaston well to the east of bermuda, and the on shore flow, we do have a moderate risk for rip current along the new jersey coast line and also in delaware. always swim where lifeguards are on duty. we hit 90 yesterday, 90 today, if we hit 90 again this could be heat wave 6. for the exclusive accu weather forecast forecast. >>> at an a busy day at the university of delaware as they moved into their dorm. action cam on the scene in newark as dozens unloaded car and rental trucks and carried their belongings into the residence halls. moms, dads, friends and fellow classmates pitched in to make the move go smoothly. they officially begin tuesday. >>> younger students in gloucester county r

starting to drop. 86 right now allentown, 87 in millville. beach haven right now cape may both coming in in the lower 80's. satellite and radar again you wouldn't be able to tell that a front has slipped through philadelphia. a few high clouds at times but most of the energy in new england racing off the coast of boston and cape cod presently. then there's a second front we're tracking over the great lakes. tomorrow high pressure comes in which means sunshine will stick around. it will be a little bit cooler so to speak, 89 degrees but you'll notice the drop in humidity tonight and throughout your tuesday. that high falls apart. a cold front approaches from the north bringing haze heat and humidity again ahead of it on wednesday, 91 degrees. this front will bring clouds and some rain wednesday night into early on thursday and it will also kick away what should become a tropical storm off of the carolinas so that will come up the coast it will move out to sea but it is again together to bring some rough surf as well as rip current risk with that system. in addition we're tracking tropical

. allentown 84. trenton 82. millville 81. cape may 80 and wilmington currently 82 degrees. satellite6 along with action radar showing that clouds are really beginning to thin out. there's an upper level disturbance that's bringing some rain across parts of virginia. that's what's tossed the cloud cover our way. meantime farther down to the south there's low pressure that's spinning that's bringing copious amounts of rain parts of georgia and florida and this actually will be sitting there for several days and that's part of the problem. that will actually help to feed more tropical moisture our way and keep us very unsettled from the middle of the week right through the weekend. so, tonight a pretty quiet night. partly cloudy skies. it will be slightly humid but not bad for this time of the year. and temperatures about where we should be. 69 in philadelphia, allentown 60, trenton 64. the boardwalk in atlantic city 69. cape may 70 and wilmington 66 degrees. tomorrow high pressure just to our east will bring us mixture of clouds and sunshine. more sunshine than clouds. a lot brighter than tod

, that is expected to change as the day wears on. feels like 95 in philadelphia, millville and dover. 91 in cape may. sunshine fading behind increasing clouds. if you're down the jersey shore, the clouds are holding off, the storm threat is not until after 4:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m. everyone else after 1 or 2:00 p.m. the air behind this front is the coldest we've seen in 3 weeks. you'll be able to open the windows and turn off the air-conditioning and just a change. when i come back i'll show you the numbers in the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast. gray. >> they are excited to see you chris. go to storm tracker 6 storm trar >> police are looking for a man who shot a man and injured a 5-year-old girl. trish hartman has more. >> reporter: police have identified the shooter and an arrest warrant has been issued. they will release the man and photo within the hour. the neighbors knew the man who was shot and they were saddened. >> next thing i know, i seen flashing lights. my daughter was down there, they ran into a lady's house. they were scared. >> this man's 9-year-old daughter was

late afternoon. 3:30, 60 in philadelphia. 59 in allentown, and 65 in millville. everybody will feel a little bit better as we get into the late afternoon and early evening hours. satellite and radar, not too much to talk about in the short term, crystal clear, at least sky conditions-wise, from washington, d.c. to maine as high pressure continues to dominate the weather pattern. all of a sudden this guy forms. this is tropical depression 8. here's the island of bermuda, and north carolina, you can see the explosion in thunderstorm activity. the good news the center of circulation is displaced from the thunderstorms. in order for this guy to strengthen, those thunderstorms have to wrap around the center of circulation. as long as the storm is raggedy like this, it should not intensify all that much. right now we're forecasting it will become a tropical storm and head closer to the u.s. mainland before heading out to sea. the reason why it's heading out to sea we have a canadian cold front sliding through wednesday night into thursday morning. that will help to bump this off the coast.

point numbers tell the stories. dew points are in the uner 70s in millville and same in philadelphia and trenton, a 75 degree dew point in allentown. it's quite impressive when you step outside and you'll notice the difference. here is stormtracker 6 live double scan radar, we have the warmth and humidity overhead and feeling showers and storms, and we'll cut through the storm and give you a street level view, milford and new hope if are you in between the area we are dealing with pockets of moisture that for the most part are lifting to the north and i would allow for activity as we go through the rest of the afternoon hours because of the boiling heat and humidity. on a tropical vacation like it or not. dew points are in the middle 70s, this is key anywhere from 95 to 105 across the region, with that said scattered showers and storms. the biggest concern is vivid lightning and concern as we go throughout the rest of our week here. as we look at the impact scale, a moderate concern today and high on thursday and we peak friday and saturday, and then some relief coming as we get into
