Wasnt overly hot, but, when you add in the humidity, you felt it, does look like it will be little different today plenty of sunshine, cloud cover, at time, few light showers slightly lower humidity, it is not going to be a day where you go outside, feels like it is dry, and feels like it is a fall afternoon, so it is still going have little muggy factor to it, not quite as bad as yesterday. Our temperatures are remaining warm, so still on the 80s, still seasonable, maybe even little bit above average in a few spots, but overall, i think, this is a pretty nice ends to the weekends, especially, since not looking at any more rain chances for the time being. Here is tropical depression 8t looks like for the most part this is not going to be affecting any kind of land specially the continental us. Probably will curve out to sea in a couple every days, but then we are going to watch the next chance for some development. This is coming offer the african coastline now, 20 chance this could be could develop into tropical system ment tropical depression eight still out there in the atlantic, spiraling just at about 14 miles an hour or so. Thats where it is moving out of the north to the northwest. 35 miles an hour, and as we tends to look at where the path will take it, it could become Tropical Storm in the next day or two, and if it does, it will actually become Tropical Storm girth.

Now, our High Temperatures tuesday, you can see, lot of 80s, maybe even close to 09 degrees in a few spots. I actually think our model overdoing our philadelphia temperature on tuesday at this point, oddly end up just shy of 09 degrees, on tuesday, but we could be getting up close to zero nine here in philly on wednesday. Lots of warm air, probably watch up the work week, channels for 90s here in philly once again. Eightyseven for our high today. We go with 86 tomorrow.
