This is going to be a perfect Holiday Weekend. In fact, today another hot day. We were expecting it to only be in the 80s but the sunshine really took control again today, so we excelled to 93 degrees which is a record tying high for this date in philadelphia. The old 93 was from back in 2008. This marks the day six of the present heat wave and the 34th time philadelphia has hit 90 or better this year. As we take a look at the heat index, the numbers have started to come back down. That northeasterly wind trying to do its job to dry the atmosphere how. Feels like 84 in allentown, 81 in wilmington with storms there. 87 in millville but it still feels like 92 in philadelphia and at the shore mid 80s presently. As we look at double scan live radar we have a couple of downpours and thunderstorms scattered through the region.

To have four Straight Days in a row with temperatures in the 90s for the beginning of september, you have to go back 42 years to have it start that warm with four consecutive days of 90 or above so its pretty rare to see a string of hot temperatures like this in september. As we look at the winds, you can see them funneling out of the eastnortheast right now, 13 trenton, 13 allentown, 16 miles an hour in philadelphia, 18 miles an hour on the boardwalk and that wind will eventually help dry us out with respect to the humidity tonight and the weekend. And as we look at satellite its a cold front swinging through. That cold front will continue to migrate to the south and west as we go through the rest of the overnight hours. As we take a look at the game of the week here for high school huddle, yes, football is back.

Saturday showing tomorrow morning sunshine takes control. Thats the trend as we go in the afternoon. Hardly a cloud in the sky so as we take a look at the weekend kickoff here in the city, low humidity, 85 tomorrow, breezy, bright at the shore, 77 and in the poconos sunny and pleasant with a temperature of just 76 degrees. Your four day at 4 00 forecast, low humidity tomorrow, 85 degrees.

From the location to the producers to the directors, the film about two socalled dorks who go for miles to wild is a real homecoming. So tired of being such a dork.

She came to visit us here at the 6abc studios and brought that man in gold along with her. Girls dont like guys from upper middle class pennsylvania. What do they like. They want like bad boys who have been in fights. Slow learners two directors are also philadelphians, don and sheena along with the rest of the production team. My three coproducers jamie low cough and tommy joyner own milk boy the Recording Studio and milk boy the bar downtown. Jill stedman loves bringing hollywood home. Were here. We were so excited to make something here. And the script sort of it felt suburban and so the directors sheena grew up in Delaware County and she envisioned it in someplace like media so we ended up shooting the whole thing in media swarthmore and downtown philadelphia. The romantic comedy stars adam paoli and sara burns two actors with an improv background theyre so quick.

The sheriff hopes this case is a lesson to other kids. Its not something that the Sheriffs Office targets.

To big talkers now and a straight couple in tennessee wants to get a divorce but the judge is saying no dice. Man and wife have to stay that way. Why . Try to follow the reasoning. The judge in Hamilton County say its because of the Supreme Courts ruling on samesex marriage. The judge claims the Supreme Courts decision on samesex marriages has derailed tennessees ability to determine what constitutes marriage and weakons tutses divorce and is asking the highest court in the country to clarify when a marriage is no longer a marriage. Safe to say he didnt agree with that decision. So, the couple is going to try to file again. Maybe with another judge but his suggestion to them when he wouldnt let them get divorced, try and reconcile. Not sure how that one is going to work out. To ohio where the city of dayton is apologizing to a man who says he was wrongfully pulled over for making eye contact with a Police Officer.

Because you made direct eye contact to me and held on. What . John felton says he felt like he was being followed. The Police Officer and the department say the stop was legal and despite what he said about the eye contact, the officer watched him make that turn without the blinker and no one in the city believes that eye contact is a valid reason to pull someone over. The department anyhow is going to be doing some new traffic stop training after this one. All right, finally, to the one man Bachelor Party thats taking social media by storm. This is robbie churno. He may have millions of people following his adventures but hes having them alone all by his little self. You see, the other guys groom included didnt make it. Their flights were all canceled. Leaving him in the windy city all alone. Hes been documenting his desolate trip since he got there thursday night using the chicago for one. So far he has gone on a lonely boat tour and he even wrote lets go bears taking in the game solo. He went to the top of the hancock building, navy pier, all the sites all by himself. One of his friends by the way set up a go fund me campaign to help raise money for his very lonely party. Its raised just over 300 in just a few hours. Hes still waiting for the guys to show up. They should be there tonight. In the meantime, does this look like a Bachelor Party to you . Well, listening i give the guy credit for giving it a go no matter what. Hes seeing all the sites in chicago. Tonight he can give them the lay of the land. Hes probably going have to see them again. Thank you very much. Lets get a check on the roads. Everybody headed down to the shore or up to the mountains. Matt pelman with an update. If he doesnt want to feel lonely anymore all he has to do is come home and go for a drive because on the roads this afternoon hes going to have lots of company here on 42 brian, southbound side at times weve watched the vehicles roll to a stop. Right now theyre moving slowly in the southbound lanes headed down toward the a. C. Expressway and eventually the shore and the good news is our crash southbound by route 41 that we mentioned during the last half hour that was on the shoulder is now completely out of there so cross that off the list. But in delco on 95 northbound by 452 theres a vehicle fire. Fire crews on the scene taking out the left lane giving you slow speeds coming out of delaware headed towards the blue route. Vine street expressway eastbound by broad street the crash is completely off to the side. Doesnt matter. Still jammed in both directions here along the vine and of course the ben franklin parkway right there is still closed. Now inner and outer drives and even more closures take effect because of made in america starting tomorrow morning. So, already septa buses are detoured but the subways will be running every five minutes this weekend. Theyre trying to help tout get to the concert. Lets give you a little good news. On the ben franklin bridge westbound side, as i mentioned earlier in the week, the right lane has reopened after having been closed all summer. Thats going to help us out as we all head back to School Next Week and in norristown the northbound lane of markley street reopened today after having been closed since february of 2013. So some of our long term Construction Projects coming to an end. Thats a good thing as we head into this Holiday Weekends. Well check it again, brian and alicia, coming up in the 5 oclock hour. Sounds good. See you then my friend. Meteorologist adam joseph back with the exclusive accuweather 7day forecast next. I think i heard you correctly earlier today. You said 34 days. You listen to me. Every now and again. Today was one of the rare occasions. But 34 days with temperatures above 90. 90 or above in philadelphia. The normal for the year is 27 and were not done yet. Theres many more 90s to commove the next week but yes, this is one hot and humid summer as we take a look at the action cam which was down in wilmington and rodney square, yes, that gentleman has it right. Keep the jacket off. You should loosen up the tie, too, a little bit. Its little warm up there. Roll up the sleeves but overall a decent day to begin the Holiday Weekend at least for some of us. As we he look at double scan live radar around the region we had some downpours and thunderstorms throughout southern parts of salem and also Cumberland County, also kent and New Castle County saw a few downpours earlier. They have all fallen apart at this point. Even Chester County. So everything is pretty quiet over the last 15 to 20 minutes. As we look at the almanac, hot today in philadelphia, tying that record of 93 degrees set back in 2008. A balmy 75 this morning. Our normal 65 and 82. Winds right now continue to pull out of that northeasterly direction. Theyll switch more out of the eastsoutheast throughout the weekend. Keeping temperatures right now in the upper 70s to low 80s at the shore. Sounds nice but its still very trip pickly humid so its a really uncomfortable upper 70s to 80s at the shore. 88 in philadelphia, 82 in allentown and wilmington with a lot of clouds around and a few of those downpours, temperatures there in the upper 70s. High pressure is anchored right now in southern parts of canada on the border of northern new england. That high will be the muscle maker and really squash a lot of the cloud cover and that humidity to the south and west through your saturday. So for tonight, its still muggy through the first half of the night slowly dropping humidity after midnight. Partly cloudy, 61 to 69 degrees. And well call it holiday perfection with that dome of High Pressure over new england and the midatlantic creates sinking air. You cant get clouds to form when the air sinks. Thats a good thing here for the next three days. If you inn youre heading to the shore a moderate risk for rip currents so watch that. Listen to the lifeguards. 77 degrees because of that persistent wind coming in off the water so it will be very breezy at the shore throughout the weekend. Is that knee, beautiful, upper 70s the next two days, 81 on your labor day, and if youre heading into the mountains, the pocono forecast 76 sunny and pleasant sunday, no real complaints here. 79 degrees. 82 labor day. Sunny, warm with low humidity. The exclusive accuweather 7day forecast, a couple of 80s on the board for the next two days with low humidity. And wall to wall sunshine. Hot again on labor day at 90 degrees with low humidity but that humidity will return as the temperatures go into the low 90s tuesday and wednesday. Wednesday there could be a couple spotty storms in the afternoon. Maybe we break that next heat wave on thursday at 89 degrees. And then cool and cloudy here on friday at 82 degrees which is a little more typical for this time of year. So, if youre not sick of the 90s, they will be back when the holiday ends next week, guys.
