it is summer. and it certainly felt like it today those winds out of the south at about 15 miles per hour pumping in that moisture. the low this morning, 70. that is spot on for where we shall be this time of year. of the afternoon high of 881-degree above average. but take look several years ago 2,011 the record high for today's date was 103 degrees. so it could be worse. especially this time of year. 79 in wildwood getting some breaks from the heat with that sea breeze. 80 atlantic city. but move a little farther inland, 86 in reading as well as pottstown. and, of course, the dew point the measure of moisture earlier in the weekend it was around 50, 55 feeling pleasant but it's increasing into the mid 60s around 70 degrees that's when it starts to feel oppressive. so look at the current dew point temperatures right now. 70 in reading. so feeling oppressive when you step outdoors upper 60s even in allentown. so you want that drier air wait a couple more days. as we talk about how it actually

feels as we roll the clock ahead tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 o'clock, it's going to feel like 102 degrees in wilmington. feel like 97 in reading as well as philadelphia. so tomorrow will be the hottest day of the week. the heat will peek tomorrow afternoon. as we look at the satellite and radar winds coming in out of the south and west. pumping in that moisture and humidity. showers and storms to our south. there's a frontal boundary moving through sections of the great lakes. that will pick up some moisture by tomorrow afternoon and evening to give us some showers and storms. so quiet for overnight tomorrow morning. mild, muggy. a mixture of sun and clouds. we'll stay dry to kick off the day but look at the clock as we advance it to around 5:00 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and evening. north and west watching out for some pocks of showers and storms. some of those storms could be a little gusty. we'll keep you posted on that. but right now our area not under a slight risk for severe weather come tomorrow. by 7:00 o'clock most of the coverage still north and west. eight, 9:00 o'clock moving toward the philadelphia area as

well as sections of south jersey as well as delaware. then a few lingering showers early on thursday. but drier air will be moving in behind that front. so for tonight, partly cloudy, mild and mug goo. then tomorrow, the hottest day of the week. those storms fire late in the afternoon and evening. a leftover shower thursday but behind that front we get a wind shift and that humidity will start to drop so it will ab brief deal with the heat across our area. 70 for the low in the city tonight. mid 60s in the suburbs. 93 degrees for the high temperature tomorrow. hot and humid once again those afternoon evening showers and storms. forecast by the numbers tomorrow, we'll give it a seven. early showers on thursday, 83 degrees for the high temperature. so about a 10-degree temperature drop. that will be nice and feeling better as we move into friday as well as most of the upcoming weekend. sunday into monday, things turn a little unsettled. >> all right. it's not bad. we got a 10 on friday. you get your one day of 90.

we got a 10 for friday as we head into the weekend. we're good. >> everybody is happy. even howard eskin. >> what temperature is unsettl unsettled? >> howard it depends who you're talking to. to me it's unsettled at 90 and 48. >> i got the answer. good, thank you. >> little baseball. phillies go at it again tonight against the san francisco giants. now, there are many trades going on around major league baseball but nothing from the phillies yet. the phillies did bring up darren rough from the minor leagues to replace an injured john mayber mayberry. one player the phillies would love to trade would be ryan howard. but nobody wants that $25 million a year and two more years at that number. howard is hitting .222 and i was toll the phillies front office has had brief conversations about releasing howard. maybe after the season but the manager keeps that happy talk. >> i feel -- i still have faith in him with his swing he's doing. he is making some better conta contact.

one swing of the bat can change a game. that's what i'm waiting for. >> cliff lee came back off the disable list last night starting for the fir since may 18th but it was not a good outing. cliff lee was not anything like cliff lee. he gave up six runs in five plus innings. allowed 12 hits. cliff lee would be player the phillies would trade even with his partial no trade in his contract. but he doesn't think about that kind of stuff. >> our job as players is to go out there and compete and try to win, and that's -- it's really that simple to me. i'm not going to get caught up in trades and all the speculation. i'm a phillie and i want this team to win and i'll do everything i can to help that happen. that's really it. >> all right. honesty may not always be the best policy. former head coach and now nbc football analyst tony dungy made comments about michael sam he's the player if you don't know who it is came out and admitted he was openly gay. so dungy made comments that many

would have also made. dungy told the tampa tribune i wouldn't have taken him not because i don't think michael sam should have a chance to play, but i wouldn't want to deal with all of it. but today, he back pedaled just little bit and said, i do not believe michael sam's sexual orientation will be a distract. i do, however, believe that the media attention that comes with it and that's not good and that would be a distraction. the first comment from dungy i thought was really what most football people believe are afraid to say. obviously, the pressure dungy got from his initial comment in the tampa tribune forced homes backtrack. i like most people don't really care whether an openly gay player plays in the nfl. but michael sam coming on a team will create a major distract. that will come from the media. that's why every other team passed on him. st. louis took sam at the end of the last round because he played in that area and there may have been pressure to have him drafted in the nfl.

talking to most football people i was told he really does not have the skills as a player to play in the nfl. the reality, too much distraction for a player that many don't even think will make it. sad but true. and it's tough and tony dungy is one of the most honest good people you'll find in the world not just in football. he said what he thought and then he had to pack pedal because all the pressure he got. >> um-hmm. >> all right. thank you very much, howard. >> and we have another half hour full of news straight ahead at 6:00. israel hamas conflict stretches even further with all flights into tel-aviv from the us and most of europe grounded. we'rlive for this hitter 86 fallout. >> and the mess at a local park that has humans crying foul but it's not the flock of geese but what they're leaving behind that has people so upset. our bruce gordon may have solved the problem. fox 29 news at 6:00 starts right the problem. fox 29 news at 6:00 starts right after this. hiiiii.
