Carol, not too bad. Not as bad as yesterday. We tied a record at 95. It is hot. We had heat indexes all the way up to 99 degrees and probably a hundred degrees in a couple spots. Today, by comparison, while it still could get to 90 degrees, we will feel cooler just because it should be 5 degrees less than that. Ben franklin bridge area looks just fine this morning and it was a very mild overnight to say the least. 77 degrees, right now. Seventysix at the shore. You are not finding that much relief in Rehoboth Beach at this point ape little bit of the haze out there. We saw that yesterday. Storm scan three not picking up anything right now, we have had very active storms out to the west last night but right now it is quiet and most of the day will be remaining quiet. Excuse me. We have a temperature of 78 degrees right now at the airport in philadelphia, 70 in allentown. Seventyfour millville. Seventyfive wildwood. Are mild start. As day warms up, and it will, by noon we are at 85. 3 00
