And now in delicious chocolate. It is 5 15, heres whats happening on the wet they are morning, cold front come through, with all of those thunderstorms, day before yesterday. And that was pretty traumatic, but it stalled just to the south. So seeing few impulses move along the front. Thats whats causing some thunderstorms to pop up in southern new jersey, and in southern delaware this morning. For the rest of us, though, High Pressure is in control. Brief break from humidity, then we see just about all of the rain that is cleared, delaware, but were still seeing few areas of heavy rain, actually, around corbin city there Atlantic County then here just along the coast, along the bay side of Cumberland County. All in new jersey. So, that may trip you up a little bit this morning or slow you down, for the rest of us pretty tranquil. 72 degrees in philadelphia, 51 mount pocono, 66 degrees, in reading, and 69 degrees in dover, delaware. Our dew point are down as well. So, were taking a break from the excessive heat, humidity, for little bit, even though yesterdays hoy was 89 degrees, didnt feel quite as bad, because the down dew points, 87 today, 90 tomorrow. And then were in the soup. Friday, saturday, sunday, in fact, saturdays actual High Temperature could be around 100 degrees. Meaning, it will fowl even hotter than that with the humidity, factored in, and it looks like this will be heatwave number four, of 2016. So, enjoy today, dave warren, while it lasts. Well enjoy today, thats morning mess there in delaware, part of south jersey, that rain, but not here on the blue route, northbound side on the right, southbound on the left just near conshohocken, things moving along nicely there this morning, no major issues there. Do have a problem on the turnpike, route 168. Right lane blocked. Thats really just until 6 00 this morning. Just know 45 minute of that, may slow it down just little bit. Use some caution. We have an accident reported right around the delaware memorial bridge, this is 295 northbound, might have to slow it down there, just little bit there. Right along 295. The only issues we have this morning, chris, lauren. Thank you so much. Turning now, we head back to cleveland, delegates formally nominate donald trump on day two of the rnc. Live at the quicken loans arena, caroline, this will be interesting, ted cruz and marco rubio will speak tonight, and they went at it during the debates with trump. Now they have to say that trump is the nicest guy on earth. This is interesting pivot you see all politician haves to make, yes. You know who will be running all every those clips every them just pounding each other on the debate stage, out on the stomp but have to make the pivot and say this is our guy. Interesting to see the temperature, too, paul ryan House Speaker spoke last night. Big question then how warm will he be . Will he even talk about trump or the republican Bigger Picture . I do expect them to be pretty warm f they made it up to the stage, trump folks will be at least saying theyll say nicer things. Black matters protest, any of those there in cleveland. Yes, they are smaller than expected. There are thousands of Police Officers just dedicated to keeping the convention and delegates safe. Seeing much smaller protest, black lives matter, Westboro Baptist church sort of fighting with each other other until the square, just few spore pad i can arrests throughout the city, much calm. Im told thursday could be the big protest day. One last thing before we let you go, of course the story that blew up yesterday, the day after, Melania Trumps speech, whether she had per lined some of the lines from the 2008 speech from what would become the first Lady Michelle obama. Any fall out from that . Or just now moving snob did they even address it last night . Reporter they were talking about it all day yesterday. Pun date were saying ya, just move on. But they didnt. They say 93 of it was all her own words, what are you getting so upset about . 7 , so we talked about it constantly all through the day yesterday. That gets the republicans and trump off message, thats a problem, because we need lazer focus during the convention to get the bump in the polls you need. Kind of un forced error. So much going on tonight there is will be real interesting night, day three. Right. All right, thank you so much, caroline.
