Tying the record high for todays date set back in 2008. But if youre stepping for your friday evening plans the upcoming Holiday Weekend many improve. Drier air moving in as that front sags to the south pushing with it humidity. A couple isolated downpours far to the west temperatures dropping into the 70s wrightstown 77, atlantic city. Low 80s north and west. Looking pretty comfortable. So isolated thunderstorm be rule out. Otherwise lowering humidity and take a sneak peek that at that saturday snapshot area wide it is going to be a 10. Well have that extended holiday forecast coming up. All right, scott, thank you. Well thousand are taking advantage of this weekends beautiful weather and heading down to the shore for the unofficial end of summer. And our brad sattin is one of them live among the crowds in ocean city, new jersey. Hey, brad. How you doing . Reporter doing great here. We have a nice breeze going. Humidity seems to have dropped off, and a lot of cloud cover its actually feeling along the boardwalk here pretty darn good. I got to till. This is interesting. We were here on memorial day, the friday before memorial day. Were here on sixth street on the boardwalk one of the ends this place was jam packed. Take look at whats going on here this friday before labor day. Not nearly as many people. The reason i think is pretty obvious. School starting for many kids because this is a late labor day this year. And that may be why a lot of folks maybe just not coming down all the more reason may be you want to come down. We had chance to talk to folks on the boardwalk trying to get one last at any time of summer. It was a hot hazy day here today. A lot of folks telling us that theyre just here for the day or some of them spending just one night but not staying beyond that because they want to get home to get ready for school. Hotels as we were driving along here seemed to have a lot of vacancies. Parking lots fairly empty. Ocean city officials telling us after a rainy june, july and august were great. 2014 was a banner year. 2015 shaping up to be the same. The good news is, it is not over yet. A few days left to enjoy here maybe get on the beach and even enjoy those waves. Its really refreshing as well as warm, so its warmer than the air thats for sure. Lifeguards say 79 degrees. Feels like it. It feels good. If you like a little privacy the quietness its good. But i mean im from the city. Im loud and really active but this is quiet. Kind of quite so far. It really is. I dont know. Its weird. Get on the beach with them before school and kind of end cap our summer. Good way to end it, right. Yeah. Beautiful down here. This year having labor day as late as you possibly could have it its been a little quiet this week. I understand a lot of schools are going back earlier. Were book are looking forward to a big weekend much overall its been a great summer here in ocean city. Reporter it has been. We were doing an interview somebody dropped ritz crackers the seagulls think its the end of summer maybe its their last meal they wasted no time id say about 20 seconds all of those crackers were gone. The one thing we dont want is rain above our heads. The only thing i think worse than that, guys, maybe if the seagulls because people scattered thats the last thing you need flying having flying seagulls right above you. Again it feels good here. Its a little windy. But it should be a nice night ahead. Guys, back to you. All right. Enjoy the shore, brad. Residents in northeast philadelphia are spending part of their Holiday Weekend looking at this, a water main break caused part of the road to open up on chalfont drive and residents say theyve been through this before. Fox 29 weekends Bill Anderson joins us live from the newsroom. Bill, neighbors really seem to be taking this all in stride. Reporter they really dont have much of a choice, chris. The residents of the 3800 block of chalfont drive were celebrating yesterday. Because after three weeks, the sink hole that damaged their block was repaired and the street was finally reopened. But this morning, a water main broke and theyre dealing with the closure all over again. The 8inch pipe burst followed by a huge sink hole opening and now the roughly 60 neighbors who thought their block would be back open in time for schoolbus and carpool traffic have no idea how long it will remain closed. Because it just opened yesterday. They just finish repaving and now im wondering whether the rest of the street will have any major problems in the future. I think its bigger than the other one. I know, yeah. Its really something. Reporter also plenty of neighbors who expressed concern about the safety of the block after two sink holes in less than a month, but even with the concern about safety and access to their neighborhood, most were fairly upbeat in dealing with the situation. The big issue is going to be after labor day this is a main schoolbus street. So a lot of people will be trying to get up the street and it will be very inconvenient if its not fixed by then. My daughter just broke her leg, and had to come out on crutches and like, oh, my goodness, were trying to figure out when she comes home where do i pick how do we get her back down the street. Reporter residents were applauding the water department. They were on the scene very quickly and water was restored. But theres still no time frame on when the street will be repaired and no explanation as to why this happened a second time. Also, walking the block you can see other places where the street seems to have buckled. So even though residents want access to their block, theyre okay with the city taking their time if it means this wont happen again to them in another three weeks. Dawn . Hopefully not, right, thanks, bill. A deadly house fire in new jersey is now officially ruled a murder suicide.

Ill be straight forward with you. The most relevant factor in my decision is whether my family and i have the Emotional Energy to run. Some might think that is not appropriate but unless i can go to my party and the American People and say that im able to devote my whole heart and my whole soul to this endeavor, it would not be appropriate.

This has to be done. She called fox 29. From the documents we learned gallagher is owned by live sto stones by stephan upper darby company with affiliated officers across the region. We called and headed for upper darby on the way we heard from greg stephan of live stone. He claimed there are a number of issues at play including a rough winter and difficulty in having the pig cherry produced. At first unwilling to go on camera, he did and made a big promise. Were going to take care of this. Were going to refund mrs. Monroe and were going to also get the work done for her. Reporter all the money back .

Just in time for the unofficial end of summer. The last hour a folks headed down the shore or poconos or staying in the city. Relief is moving in from the heat and humidity. A nice Labor Day Weekend ahead but then we heat back up by next week. We could be dealing with our sixth heat wave of the year. 93 degrees that was the High Temperature today. Extenting the fifth heat wave. Tying the record high by the way 93 set back in 2008. So so far this year including today 34 days at or above 90 degrees. But as we look at the tepp chess right now. Looking good south jersey down the shore. 77 brigantine. 76 beach haven. Upper 70s right now in Cape May County as we move along the i95 corridor, 82 philadelphia. 81 in pottstown. The dew points still above 60 even 70 so still a little sticky if youre stepping outdoors but the humidity levels will continue to drop as some of that drier air moves in. By 11 00 oclock, 76 degrees. So looking pretty good if youre stepping for your friday evening plans. Ultimate doppler kind of settled down right now. Most of the action far off to the west and central part of the state. So as we take look at the satellite radar, that drier air continues to work in from the north. That back door front kind of sweeping the heat and humidity to our south as well. So maybe isolated storm far off to the west but as we go toward tomorrow morning, looking pretty good. Low to mid 70s. Temperatures tomorrow upper 70s low and mid 80s across the area. So no weather worries whatsoev whatsoever. If youre headed out tonight or tomorrow. Take look at this. As we look ahead to the made in america festival this weekend, mid 80s in the city tomorrow and then were looking at upper 80s by sunday. Down the shore, Labor Day Weekend looking good. Low 80s. Breezy conditions tonight through the upcoming Holiday Weekend. 84 degrees on labor day itself. The pocono mountains, looking refreshing. Were looking at a pair of sevens tomorrow. 78 degrees on sunday. And 80 degrees on monday and that seven day Weather Authority forecast shows 85 degrees tomorrow. Low humidity. Upper 80s on sunday. 90degree temperatures back for labor day and then it look like maybe another heat wave by the middle of next week. But great weather if youre headed to the temple game. I know youre excite. Ill be there about 9 00 oclock tomorrow morning. laughter . Perfect for Holiday Weekend. I dont think it gets much better. Yeah. Speaking of football. Bombshell from the eagles camp today. Bombshell. Look like well have to deal with tebow mania. laughter . Only with tebow we worry about a their string quarterba quarterback. Tebow remains. Barkley traded. Chip kelly and the eagles making more roster moves to cut it down to 53. Well let you know who is packing their stuff and who remains next in sports. I was at my shop tied up with a customer when i realized the time. I had to get to the bank before it closed, so i made a break for it. When i got out it was almost closing time. Traffic was bad. I knew i was cutting it close. But it was ok. I use td bank. Its got the longest hours and stays open an extra ten minutes every day. Im sid. And i bank human at td bank. Usic etta james at last plays throughout sometimes, at last doesnt happen at first. Your dad just kissed my mom. Turning two worlds into one takes love. Helping protect that world takes state farm. We told you earlier matt bark system headed to arizona essentially a seventh round pick but tim tebow shot some secure yet. Chip can still only keep two quarterbacks so the tebow watch is still on. Only with this guy would people actually care about a third string quarterback. Tebow had his best preseason game yesterday which may have given chip a little confidence to trade barkley. 11 for 17. 189 yards and two touchdowns and one pick. Chip tried tebow for twopoint conversion that fail in the preseason. Tebow will probably stay because with all the injury concerns at qb sam bradford you need three quarterbacks. Tebow hasnt officially made the team yet. Has no words. Try not to be anxious at all thats what the bible says. Be anxious and nothing goes. You know what, he says anxious on nothing and ill try to do that. The big roster cuts eagles reportedly cut Rasheed Bailey local kid coming out of delaware valley. Rookie had a solid preseason and limited opportunities 10 catches, 100 yards, two touchdowns. Couldnt make a young crowded wide receiver core. Last night bailey had a message for any team that would be willing to pick him up. Once im out there, you going to get the best player out of me. All ever, everything. Im laying it on the line in empty where it is, who im with, you know, i love this city, of course, but ill lay it all on the line. Special teams when i was out there, opportunities i made when i was out there, everything. He had a good preseason hes definitely going to pick up somewhere if not a practice squad. College football is back and it starts off with inn state rivalcy. Penn state, temple at the linc in front of sold out crowd on saturday. Litany lions have won 39 straight games against the owls. Penn state walking off the bus kicking off their Second Season under james franklin. They went seven and sick last year finishing sixth in the big 10. The lions have all their scholarships back look to go get back in the mix with ohio state and wisconsin. And temple trying to revenge a 3013 loss to the lions last year. The owls went just six and six last year but theyre returning all their starters on defense. That should give them a leap forward for this coming season. It will be unbelievable atmosphere on saturday and temple players think its all on them. This season it all comes do us and we know that. Since ive been here the first time i can truly say it comes down to us and we know that. One of the biggest rules be yourself. Come in every single day, lock in, get done what you got to get done and good things will happen and thats what we finally realized. Eagles biggest thing people need to realize if tebow actually sees real time that means the season is in the dump. laughter . Eagles are done. You dont want to see rash less if youre a tebow mania fan. Did you have to bring up the 39 game winning streak against temple. Had to. Were not going to make it to 40. That will do it for us here tonight at 6 00 oclock. See you back here at 10 00 oclock. Inside edition is up next. Donald trump security smackdown. Stop it, stop it and was he hit with a low blow gotcha question . That is a gotcha question. Drone scare at the u. S. Open. Security out to take a look at it. And whats this drone doing outside the hospital . And the popes encounter with the shy American High School student. May i ask of to you sing a song for me . Everyone in the room is wondering, can she do it, will she do it. Then, caitlyn jenner. Why is she so angry, then gunning it . And from one beat up old truck to a worldwide fleet.
