per hour. and the dew point up in the low 60s. maybe a little humid if you start to workout. 72 in wilmington and 69 in allentown and reading and lancaster and schooler up north with thicker cloud cover. it's cooler in cape may. future tracker 6 showing us for the rest of the afternoon there could be a pop-up sprinkle or shower and the best chance of that is in the northern suburbs, i can't
