It was pouring rain down at the shore yesterday. Here is cape may, there are folks on the beaches and a sailboat and loads of sunshine and temperatures on the beach pretty comfortable, right along the beach temperatures in the 70s and Cape May Point 72 and inland warmer, philadelphia 78 degrees and trenton 87 and reading 85 and wilmington 86 degrees, certainly a warm day but more comfortable than the last several, because of this, the dew point, we have a dew point of 51 degrees in philadelphia. You got dew points in the 50s this time of year, its a dry comfortable air mass. They are higher the closer you get to the shore. The dew point 68 in wildwood. The humidity is impressive in dover, delaware, 73 degrees but the drier air continues to feltner as we head through the afternoon. Satellite 6 along with action radar you see this spin over southern North Carolina. That is what used to be Tropical Storm bonnie, its still there but the front has suppressed this down to the south.

Look agent tomorrow, dont forget the sunscreen, we are looking at loads of sunshine through the day by 2 00, 80, by 5 0083 degrees, that will be the high for the day. A little bit cooler than today. Low humidity a very comfortable day, i am heading to the philadelphia zoo to feed the hippos and it will be perfect for that. Tomorrow does officially start Tropical Storm season even though we have two named storms, if you look across the tropics its quiet just some disorganization near san juan but nothing on the verge of becoming a tropical depression or Tropical Storm. But this will be a relatively active hurricane season, if you look at the three major hurricane forecasts, colorado state, accuweather and noah, all calling for an average or slightly above average hurricane season, with 10 to 16 named storms, four to eight hurricanes and one to four category three or higher hurricanes. This will be a more active season than the past three, we are transitioning from el nino to la nina. You dont get the wind shear and that could develop more intense and likely last longer into october and november. So could be a pretty active hurricane season. Tomorrow loads of sunshine and comfortable with a low humidity and 83 degrees. Thursday is looking nice as well. A mixture of clouds and sun and a high of 79, friday a cold front moves in bringing showers and thunderstorm and 76 degrees we start the weekend with plenty of sunshine on saturday, gorgeous 82 and another system could bring us a wet sunday, ill talk more about that coming up in the full accuweather forecast.

[ applause ] Athletic Director mark jackson who capped off his first year as Athletic Director with a National Championship. Pretty good job. Unfortunately, perhaps the most important nova grad here, dr. Jill biden could not be here, i think she may be teaching but her husband joe wanted me to remind you he picked nova to win it all [ applause ] this is the type of wise counsel that you are looking for in a Vice President , unfortunately i did not follow his counsel and my bracket was busted. We have the best dressed man in College Basketball [ applause ] the George Clooney of coaches jay wright and today we celebrate a remarkable team that work said tirelessly to make coach look good in terms of his job and not just his wardrobe, his taylorist and stylist could not make it but we have his basketball here. So coach wright and this team treated us to as memorable as a run and championship as i can remember. Well talk more about that game in a second. They were more about not just one moment or one shot. They had unbelievable defense and great clutch shooting and a senior class that won more games than any group in wildcats history and a stable of tal ened players who were as happy for a loose ball than cutting down the nets. You had daniel ochefu, the seventh player in School History to score 1,000 points and grab 900 boards, pretty good [ applause ] also, not afraid to do the Little Things we saw him grab the mob in the middle of the game.

Chris jenkins, a. K. A. , big smooth [ applause [ applause ] who learned how to shoot from his mom. Moms know what they are talking about and then Ryan Arcidiacono. I just sped through that in case i didnt say it right. Barack obama is tough but Ryan Arcidiacono that is a lot of vowels in there, well just call him arch. Captain since his freshman year and went out in style as the most outstanding player of the final four, we are very, very proud of him. Give him a big round of applause [ applause ] but more than any individual honor, this team possessed something that coaches preached from day one, that is attitude. In life you cant control what happens to you, but you control how you sponto it. That is how they bounced back from disappointing tournaments and rolled through the first three rounds by an average of 24 points, beat kansas to punch their ticket to final four and in houston they blew the doors off oklahoma with a 44 point margin.
