Yesterday. Well be above that mark today. In fact most of the rest of the workweek, temperatures are going to be very hot. Were getting a warm start. 74 in philadelphia. Not quite as warm as yesterday morning but just as humid. 68 degrees right now in pottstown. Look at trenton and wilmington both at 72 degrees. A hot, humid day ahead. The temperatures climbing 74 degrees by 6 00, by 9 00 this morning, 80 degrees and 88 degrees at noontime and climbing. Those numbers ahead of yesterdays numbers. Well go through the forecast neighborhood by neighborhood when im back in ten minutes. Right now, Jessica Boyington has your first alert traffic. Were on the schuylkill expressway, were not seeing much in terms of traffic. Right around montgomery drive, we have a 12minute drive time on the eastbound side. If youre heading into the center city area, these are the eastbound lanes right in here. Watch out for the road work sign. Otherwise youll do just fine. Eastbound into the king of prussia area
Temperatures to really heat up. 74 already in philadelphia. The upper 60s in allentown, low 60s even in mount pocono. 72 in trenton, 72 in dover, delaware. Visibility is an issue in some spots especially in the northwest. 2mile visibility in mount pocono, 5mile in allentown and lancaster. Weve noticed some patchy fog out there so just something to watch for. Its an ozone action day today. And that means the unhealthy groups, young, elderly, anyone with respiratory issues today is not the day to be outside running or exercises in the height of the day. Try to stay indoors, if you can, during that time. Hot and humid today, sunny skies but 93 for your high today. It stays warm, it stays muggy in the overnight hours we only dip to 73 degrees. And we get hotter still coming up in the seven day so details on that in just a minute, matt. Only because you said so i will not go out running. [laughter] otherwise, yeah. I will stay in the air conditioning. Oh, yeah, i would be outside. Good morn
While researching an unrelated topic, my colleague pulled up the May 18, 1917, edition of the “Brevard News.” She showed it to me, and we were both immediately very curious.
