In fact, they may not get their money until winter. The state pulled a million peoples returns because they want to protect people from identity theft.

Nbc10s cydney long joins us from cherry hill. What is taking so long . I can tell you hackers looking to cash in on your personal information are partly to blame.

To add insult to injury for those who continue to wait, its money they could have invested and grow interest. Should the state be paying interest on these belated returns . They claim theyre not going to pay interest. Ive never had to do this before. Maybe we should start being more proactive and seeing how many people are in the same position were in, its just annoying. They could contact their representative, the governors office, they could contact the treasury. The more noise they make and the more noise collectively the people make, the more pressure it puts on the government. New jersey is not alone, hawaii, kansas and connecticut are all dealing with belated returns due to fraud protection. Also, pennsylvania got back to us. They flagged seven times as many returns for refunds this year over last year, and new jersey also processes more refunds because of the way the state does its withholding. Live in cherry hill, cydney long, nbc10 news. If it felt a little more comfortable today, thats because it was. The temperature down from yesterday, the humidity down from yesterday, and the heat wave, can you say goodbye to that. Rain for some parts of the area as we head toward the end of the week, and maybe even the beginning of the weekend, and that is one of the questions here, especially for saturday. Especially for the shore area. Now, a lot of sunshine right now. And weve seen it all day, 88 degrees, the humidity low, feels like its 88 because of that low humidity. As far as heat waves are concerned, this is far from the worst, that weve ever had. We had the much longer one in 1988, usually if we have a long heat wave like this. Well have some days of 95 to 100, and the feels like temperature over 100. So we kind of lucked out a little bit, considering how long that heat wave was. We didnt have any terrible days. The current temperature 88. Its low 80s north and west, and with the lower humidity and west wind, feels pretty nice out there. Its going to be a beautiful evening. Great weather for phillies game here, we have lots of sunshine, in the east, a lot of dry air over the great lakes, and the pretty good amount of moisture down to the south and west toward the st. Louis area, and that is what were going to be watching. This area of low pressure coming straight to the east. Not real strong, and its going to track south of us, were sure about that. The question is, how far north is this rain going to come . Further south it goes, the weaker it is, the less chance we have of the rain coming all the way up. But its going to cause the wind to come in off the ocean, thats going to make it cool. Windy and this particular model strengthens it, right along the coast. Makes it into a noreaster. Theres the northeast wind, theres the rain all the way to philadelphia area, and thats saturday morning. Youre not really rooting for that solution. Now, the computer models are not as extreme as that one. So with that in mind, what the shore would look like, we have rain on friday, regardless. Saturday northeast 20 to 30 mile an hour winds and rain at the shore. Sheena will update that at 11 00, we have a couple more days to go. 66 for a low in philadelphia, 66 in the suburbs. Tomorrow nowhere near 90, and fairly low humidity, the rain comes in at night, especially south of philadelphia. Thats where the heaviest rain is going to be on friday. Friday night and maybe even into saturday. Especially toward the shore, but sunday is looking good. And then more moisture comes in next week. Nbc10 is your official eagles station.
