Probably holding there pretty quickly as that little breeze kicks in off the ocean. As we look at sunshine across the region, easy to fine the lack of cloud cover, there are fair weather cumulous clouds around but it looks to stay pretty sunny. 84 is the high in philadelphia 84 in wilmington and 83 in al n allentown and reading and some shore communities in the mid to upper 70s. Down the shore sunscreen is important as can you tell from the shot a while ago and winds coming in off the ocean and that cools the temperatures a bit and here is the temperature off a. C. , sure enough 77 degrees, delaware a moderate risk of rip currents. Still we want you to swim close to the lifeguards, a little gentleman issue in delaware today. 83 at 2 00 and 84 is your high at 3 00, similar to yesterday and low humidity in here and 83 at 4 00 and 81 at 6 00 and then a nice evening. 77 degrees at 8 00 and 72 at 10 00.

Tomorrow another 84 but we turn the winds to the south ahead of an approaching cold front and that has a tendency to get us hotter. As we go into the Late Afternoon and evening it gets stickier. As the southerly flow gets more pronounced well end up at 90 for a high and steamy conditions and a thunderstorm too.

The accuweather seven day, 84 and sunny and nice today and low humidity. Not a bad day tomorrow, slightly humid and high of 84, and a slight chance of a popup shower or thunderstorm. It looks like that is probably going to stay mainly out of the area. And i think musikfest has a good chance of getting off to a good start and then hot and steamy on saturday, one day for this but pretty uncomfortable and a high of 90 and chance of scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening, and some on saturday could be strong, not a lot of that but some is possible. A quick hit because on sunday its warm with a high of 87 and humidity drops back down after the frontal boundary and the storms roll through.
