The community served as a home base for polygamist sect leader warren jeff. Lets turn to accuweather and we are getting a nice boost in temperatures today. Yeah, we are. Very little cloud cover out there. High pressure setting up in such a way that we get a little bit more of a westerly wind later on today and that wind dropping down out of the mountains is going to warm us up a little bit. As we take a look at Storm Tracker obviously no precipitation for your Tuesday Morning commute and taking a look outside, we are looking clear right now. But like yesterday, a little bit on the cool side. Now, we have that camera bouncing just a little bit, but in fact, winds are lighter this morning and it may that be were just focused in at such a great distance that the camera shakes a little in the light wind. 62 degrees is the temperature. Yesterday we were in the 50s so et cetera its a little milder but a lot of russ stepping out into a rather cool morning again. Dewpoints are low so its not humid and winds light westsouthwest at 5 Miles Per Hour in philadelphia. Were even seeing calm winds in a couple of spots around the region. The reason we have less wind is that that storm system that created the breezy conditions through the region yesterday is now farther and farther away from us getting ready to push up off the coast of nova scotia so were still left with lots of sunshine today but less wind and a little bit warmer air. 61 degrees by 8 oclock this morning, still cool there. But by 11 oclock, a comfortable 72 especially when you consider it wont be as breezy as yesterday went spend the afternoon in the 80s today. By 2 oclock, 81. 83 is your high around 3 oclock or so and 81 by 5 oclock. Lots of sunshine in store today. And its warm just about everywhere you look across the region. Up in allentown and trenton, 82 today. 83 in reading. 82 in wilmington and in millville. Down the shore, probably stopping in the u upper 70s. Light winds today. For the phillies tonight its going to be a nice night at the ballpark but another night where the temperatures are going to dip during the game. We wont have as much wind as we had yesterday for the phillies and the nationals but it will be mainly clear. 76 for the first pitch but bring along a couple of layers or maybe a jacket to throw on during the game because by the ninth inning we could be down into the mid 60s. And then as we look ahead for the rest of this week we really are heading back to summerlike conditions. Today i mentioned the high 83. Well be up into the mid to upper 80s for the rest of the week because that High Pressure center is really going to hold its ground and were going to continue to get that westerly wind and even a little bit of a southwest draw as we get a little bit closer to the weekend. There is a frontal boundary out to the west that will eventually be coming in and getting us a little wet around here but thats not going to be until possibly sunday afternoon. Your exclusive accuweather 7day, 83 degrees sunny and warmer than yesterday. Its really going to be a nice one across the region and then we just keep that beat going. On sunday on wednesday, sunny and nice, 87 degrees. Still bright and warm on thursday, another high of 87. We may ease back to about 86 on friday under partly sunny skies but really this is a very similar pattern straight through the rest of the work week and to start out the weekend on saturday, still warm, still nice, a high of 87 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds. And then a frontal boundary arrives on sunday. That kicks in more clouds with some sunny breaks. A high of 81. Wont be quite as warm. And there is the chance of at least a spotty shower or thundershower and of course well have to watch and see if that hinders the eagles home opener which i believe is a late game at 4 oclock. It is. Union also home in the evening. Maybe a little rain around on sunday. Okay. Well see. Thank you david. The European Union has failed to reach an agreement on a migrant resettlement plan.
