>> let's get the accuweather forecast from meteorologist cecily tynan. >> and it was warm today. it's going to get warmer tomorrow. then it's going to get downright hot. stormtracker 6 live double scan showing we have rain-free conditions out there. but temperatures still quite warm. 73 degrees in philadelphia. our normal high is 77. but we hit 88 degrees today, the warmest day since early last september. reading, 71. currently the same in wilmington. cape may point's dropped down to 64. and trenton currently 73 degrees. satellite 6 along with action radar showing we're seeing some high serous chouds beginning to move in over this ridge of high pressure. tomorrow i think we'll see more of that hazy sunshine and this high pressure, that classic bermuda high is going nowhere fast so that will provide that heat pump that brings us the warmer air as we head toward the holiday weekend. so tomorrow, the forecast, shorts and t-shirts fine for the kids tomorrow. already 66 degrees at 6:00. up to 70 by 8:00. and temperatures will continue to climb up to about 89 degrees tomorrow. and it will be a little bit more humid. and we could get an isolated thunderstorm mainly west of philadelphia in the afternoon tomorrow. as we head into friday, that heat machine works even more, a high up to 90 degrees, and we could have an air mass pop-up thunderstorm essentially anytime during the day, and we keep that 90-degree weather right through saturday, though heading to the holiday weekend, if you are heading down the shore, saturday is the pick of the weekend. lot of sunshine, 74 degrees. sunday, still foir, but more clouds with a possibility of a shower or thunderstorm. and monday, memorial day, is going to be quite a bit cooler, 67 degrees. mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms. the poconos, 84 degrees on saturday. 82 on sunday. both days a chance of a few pop-up showers or thunderstorms and cooling off to 73 degrees on memorial day. part of the reason why we could see some more clouds and moisture on memorial day is because of this. i was talking about this last night. this area of disturbed weather in the southern bahamas. it's not organized right now but the national hurricane service is giving a 60% chance of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm over the next five days. even if it doesn't, we will likely see some of that moisture begin to stream towards the southeastern u.s. as we head towards monday. so the exclusive accuweather seven-day forecast, tomorrow it's warm, humid, 89 degrees. a pair of 90s, friday and saturday. friday chance of some thunderstorms. saturday should be dry. and then sunday, warm and sticky with a chance of some thunderstorms. i think a better chance on sunday and then on monday, looking little bit more gloomy for memorial day. mostly cloudy. a few showers, not a washout, though, 79 degrees. tuesday, clouds and some sun, 82. and wednesday, partly sunny with a high of 80 degrees. so all in all, the memorial day weekend is looking pretty good. not perfect but we've had a lot worse. >> thank you, cecily. thousands of people turned out to soak up the last rays of such in center city philadelphia on this the hottest day of the year so far. they were also enjoying the suds at a brand-new beer garden during a grand-opening party. it's located in the courtyard of the by melon building at 17th and jfc. hundreds of people attended a dinner in malvern tonight to celebrate 30 years of making wishes come true. the make-a-wish foundation held this event to horn its volunteers
