Reporter then he will be on to new york where the pope will speak before the United NationsGeneral Assembly and dozens of world leaders. It will be an incredible address because look at the situation of the world right now. Religious persecution, the question of religious liberties, the vast questions of immigration.

We continued that heat wave over the weekend, just barely. 90 degrees both saturday and sunday with low humidity. It didnt feel so bad but technically the heat wave continued today and likely to continue tomorrow. We have a chance of at least a few showers around. We have major relief coming this week. We are absolutely not going to go through this entire week in the 90s. We have seen a lot of sunshine today. 91 degrees now, the winds southsouthwest at 13. Humidity very low. So the feels like temperature is the same as the air temperature. We are in the 80s north and west, 78 in mt. Pocono while its 91 degrees in bensalem and also philadelphia. Pretty close to that in dover and millville. Right at the beaches, its a little bit cooler. Its 80 in Atlantic City marina, 81 in beach haven. The southwest wind in delaware is a land breeze at the beaches and thats why the delaware beaches are so much hotter today and will be so much hotter tomorrow than the new jersey beaches. You can see just a couple of isolated showers here, berks county and into the Lehigh Valley. These continue to weaken. They were not very strong to begin with and they get a little weaker. We do have the possibility of a couple more showers developing overnight tonight and into the morning hours. As you see on the future cast here. It will be a relatively warm night and relatively humid. Could be a shower or two in the morning first thing and then a lot of sunshine during the rest of the day. We could be seeing showers and storms develop during the afternoon in southern parts of the area, down in southern delaware and extreme south jersey. That would be the best chance of any kind of development tomorrow. The hot weather, yeah, thats with us today, going to be with us tomorrow but relief is not that far away. We are getting some on wednesday. Thats when the humidity goes down. Then thursday, the temperature goes down and the hot air just moves right off the map down into south carolina. Thats not necessarily going to be the end of it this summer, but at least we are getting a break. 74 for the low in philadelphia. 67 north and west as the humidity is higher today and tomorrow and a chance of a shower or two as you saw. Hotter and more humid tomorrow with a chance of a shower to the south and east, southern delaware, extreme south jersey. High temperatures into the low 90s. We may get day eight, probably breaking it by wednesday. Certainly breaking the high humidity. No doubt about that. Then thursday, if were not breaking the heat wave wednesday, we are definitely breaking it thursday. Then friday, thats not only our best chance
