points in the 70s. 89 in philadelphia, 87 in allentown and 91 in wilmington but upper 90s for atlantic city where we had the air show. and 100 in cape may and 94 in dover. so far we have hit 89 in philadelphia for the last several hours. so we don't know just yet on the off hour we hit the 90, more than likely it will. 90 in mill shrill and 94 in atlantic city and 91 in dover. and satellite and radar showers and storms firing up to the north and west and this moves through overnight and what to expect after dark, a thunderstorm or two with brief torrential rain. anywhere from a .25 to.50 inch. we'll look at that overnight and let you know when the 90s end in the full accuweather forecast. >> keeping an eye on the temperature thank you. >> the lower humidity may be providing some sleep, but these conditions could be dangerous. john rawlins has more on people working in the heat and knows how to cope with it. he is at the philadelphia museum of art. >> reporter: for most of this, it's exhausting and uncomfortable. but it can be for some. think firefighters and those folks that h

thunderstorms last night. 81 degrees in philadelphia, 75 in allentown and trenton and reading. 80 degrees in wilmington. 82 in millville and 80 degrees in cape may. now, for now it's still pretty humid out there. in philadelphia your dewpoint up in the 70's even in allentown and reading on or about 70 and these excessive dewpoints in dover and cape may still in play but as we rolled through the day, again things should get better from about philadelphia north and west. temperatures are still going to cook, though. 79 degrees for those of you running early and still pretty humid for that early run. 86 degrees by noon and then that's your high at 3 o'clock, 92 degrees and it will that probably feel worse than that down the shore even though he the temperatures right down at the beach for the ac air show he will only be in the upper 80's. karen i'll let you know if there's any sign relief in the accuweather 7-day forecast that is coming up. >> great davey we missed you. nice to see you. let's look outside at the vine street expressway, looking dry and clear except it's shut down with

the high temperature in allentown. writ tee warm down the shore as well i was a high temperature of 87 in wildwood. we have fallen back in the 70s but still very warm evening. 77 degrees in philadelphia. so up at 78 in allentown. 78 in he had aring. a few isolated downpours that did develop along the sea breeze very isolated in nature earlier this evening we did pick up .20 of an inch of rainfall in fort washington. burlington county little bit of light rain tall. tenth of an inch or less with the showers that dissipated. lost the heating of the day. storm scan3 is now quite at least in our neck of the woods looking upland area of low pressure spinning over the great lakes dragging a cold front along with the. showers and thunderstorms developing ahead of this frontal boundary that will move through our area as we head into the day tomorrow. so we do have the potential for some strong even isolated severe storms much of the day delaware valley including center city philadelphia in a marginal risk of severe weather for our sunday. talk about the timing of these storms for our last da

temperatures around the region at six in allentown, 62 in reading, some 50's in the suburbs once again, 55 in quakertown. fifty-nine in willow grove and pottstown and key thing here is dew point temperatures we have been monitoring all summer long. when it is nasty we have dew points in the 70's, 50's, very dry for late august. take advantage, get outside if you can. storm san three dead quiet, staying like that through the next 48 hours or so, high of 86 degrees. couple degrees a would have average but still comfortable with the low humidity. great beach day. full sunshine. 80 degrees at the shore. near 80's in the poconos. we will talk about that humidity returning for rest of the week and we have nine's in the forecast as well in a few more minutes. meisha, what is latest on the roads. >> loving that weather but this morning as we come in the traffic center we have serious news. look at this video we have. this is an accident that happened before midnight 422 eastbound right now is closed, you guys between route 29 in the back you cane this and oaks. one vehicle went off the road. three

. upper 60s in allentown and cape may, running high at 77 degrees. the dewpoints are running high in south jersey and southern delaware it feels on the oppressive side. in philadelphia, close to oppressive, not so close up in allentown and reading, i do expect the humidity levels to be moderate as we go through the afternoon. 73 degrees by 7:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m., 81 as we continue with the 12 hour forecast. we're going to get up to 90 by 3:00 p.m. i expect the 91-degree high to hit in there around 4:00 p.m. this afternoon again somewhat humid and bright, but probably staying mainly dry today. just a chance of pop-up shower at times down maybe in south jersey. now the weekend looks muggy tomorrow and potentially stormy on sunday, after that we get a big nice change in the weather pattern, i'll talk about that in the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast. i like when we go back to the 90s music-wise. weather-wise not so much. we're dealing with an accident from the overnight hours, involving a tractor-trailer and pick up truck, 896 pulaski highway. instead of driving 896 and 40, stick

mild this morning, waking up to 73 degrees at the airport in philadelphia, 72 allentown and just like yesterday, pretty much everyone generally dealing with the same numbers at this hour, couple of upper 60s, willow grove, doylestown. dew point temperatures looking little better compared to yesterday. they were well to the 70s, now starting to see mid 60s show up into the lehigh valley, berks county, it indicates the drier, less humid air mast that is starting to filter on in, you should begin to file the difference throughout the day today. look at the high temperatures being only lower 080's due to clouds, nice easterly breeze over the water, keeps us below average, at the shore high near 80 degrees, can't, rule out maybe stray shower or under this earl storm later on today, but i think most areas stay dry. so looking pretty comfortable over the next few days, wily bring back some heat later in the forecast, we'll talk about that in just a bit. let's hit the road with meisha. >> justin, thank you, good morning to you. the late says lot of construction, good morning everyone, happy t
