now and we'll have a lot of sunshine next couple days to dry things up. this is the way started today and as we told you, it was going to be nice and quiet for the morning rush and fairly quiet for the afternoon rush. but it was in between that we would have these problems. and here it came. it was moving eastward at 40, 50 miles per hour. strong winds came down in the middle of those storms. and at noontime, this was the line coming right through from the northern suburbs through philadelphia and into new jersey. numerous reports of gusts over 50 miles per hour. and now we're left with nothing on the radar pretty much. these dots indicate where the severe storm reports came from. and not many north and west of philadelphia. took a while for the system to intensify once it did, it created some pretty strong wind gusts. 72 miles per hour, that is the strongest wind gust we found upper deerfield in cumberland county. that is near hurricane-force. 66 miles an hour the next biggest gust long beach township in ocean county. and in a lot places between 55 and 65 miles an hour. that's bringing in cooler weather and so we'll see that over the next couple of days. it was 8 # yesterday. it's been even warmer than p that lately. but only 73 today. 76 tomorrow. even with sunshine. and then 80 on friday. now, the next rain that we'll get and we don't really need any, it's been awful wet, the month of may was extremely wet. and we'll get a couple days to dry out. nothing thursday, nothing friday. but another system coming down from the great lakes moving fast. that

reading. and then with sunshine, we're only getting in to the mid-70s. atlantic city, 77 tomorrow because it will be a land breeze. strong west wind, we'll be seeing strong gusts. rehoboth beach also with a land breeze. and that means that the temperature at the shore is the same or even higher than what we'll see in philadelphia tomorrow. but as the wind shifts into the seabreeze, look at the difference between the shore and philadelphia on saturday. at the shore, i think it's saturday night, it's right in the middle between saturday and sunday when we will be seeing those thunderstorms at

as colon cancer and melanoma. so it's an issue that both sexes have to pay attention to. >> so what can patients do to find out if they have the hugh tags? >> reporter: well, first of all, you need to get screened. and for example if you're diagnosed with breast cancer or someone in your family has been diagnosed with breast cancer, often you get this genetic testing. if it comes back positive, then the question is do your other family members have it. and you will see in tonight's story that this doctor who founded a clinic out this california that deals solely with patients who have the brca gene mutation, she found out she had the genetic mutation, she had her father tested, he developed an kree attpancreatic and she told his doctors and it changed his treatment and it made a remarkable difference in his treatment that you'll see tonight. and that's the important thing about this mutation. if you have it, it can lead to those targeted therapies that we hear so much about
