totaled. >> and the skies were dark here again. even though it is drizzling now. just these puddals left over this morning's flooding cone sided with the high tide in addition to the flooding here in atlantic county. there were hundreds of outages, one restaurant owner telling us even though he was only out for a couple hours, it could hurt him him. >> thank you for that. we can tell you further north on long 3w50e67 island four inches of rain in less than two hours, left many streets waterlogged. sections of lbi's main drag quickly flooded. police shut down some portions of the roadway. some drivers still chanced it by maneuvering through the high water, other people decided the safer bet was to get around on foot. >> we decided to turn around and take the car for a walk. >> it's up to our knees. >> members of the beach haven volunteer fire company spent much of the day cleaning up after several inches of water flooded their firehouse. >> that mess. >> our nbc10 coverage continues now with glenn "hurricane" schwartz. what's in store for the rest of the evening? >> there are more showers around, and a lot of people are going to get wet, but not anything like what we saw this morning. and we have the combination of the heavy rain nonmovement and the high tide at the same time making worse and worse. you can see the worst of the rain now is generally in pennsylvania and northern delaware, in bucks county here we have some of this. this is moving to the south, which is kind of unusual for heavy showers and storms. and if it would continue we would reach the philadelphia area by 6:00 this is for the heavier rain. lighter rain would start before that. we're tracking the heaviest cells here in the red and the yellow. also in chester county and delaware county this 8 be moving down into delaware within the next hour wilmington about 5:30. now, we already have some of those heavy showers that moved into delaware and they're continuing to move to the south. some of these cells are relatively heavy. at least they're moving. that's helpful, 5:36 in smyrna with this area of rain. nowhere near as heavy as what we saw this morning. the area that got hard hit you just saw, nowhere near as heavy as what we're seeing in pennsylvania right now. there's rain there. it's going to be wet, look at the rainfall rate. this is only 5/100 of an inch per hour. this morning, it was two inches per hour. with no movement and that's why it piled up. 5/100 of an inch it would have to rain for three days straight to cause some flooding. tonight we have more scattered showers over the next two, three hours, then clearing, and the lower humidity coming in. that's not going to last. we have a heat wave on the way, and we'll have more on that coming up with the 7-day in a few minutes. >> looking forward to that glenn. thank you. in the meantime take a look at this lightning frozen in time off the coast of ocean county. keith kent captured this strike off long beach island this morning. six people had to run from their homes this morning after a lightning strike sparked a fire in chester county. the damage could have been a lot worse in a good samaritan hadn't stepped in doug shimell continues our team coverage from phoenixville. >> i remember hearing crackling from the third floor. >> there was lightning smoke and the voice of nick demaro's cousin. >> she started screaming and yelling, there's a fire. >> i saw a fire and we ran out. we didn't think of anything else we ran out of the house. >> jacob sbarro happened to be driving through phoenixville and started pounding on doors. >> there was fire coming out the third floor already. most of them were downstairs already, they were coming -- i was getting them out that way. >> they also told him an elderly woman lived next door. >> she didn't answer right away but once we got contact with her, we helped carry her out and across the street and put her in my car. >> for the volunteer firefighter in the poconos, he says it's what they trained for. >> i didn't do it for any recognition or anything like that. >> it's just something that you do. >> the tamaro family never got to thank him. >> i was glad everyone was safe. >> the blaze was caused about i a lightning strike and with a condemned house that insurance won't pay for, they have only their sense of humor left. >> we got struck by lightning, maybe we'll hit the lottery next, you know? >> in phoenixville i'm doug shimell, nbc10 news. >> they can oath be so lucky. >> here's a look at the storms by the way, as they rolled through atlantic county. a driver trying to get around in absecon earlier today. look at that video there. it's one of the videos and pictures captured by nbc10 viewers. right now, we're putting together a collection of them i'll show them to you on air in 15 minutes. >> right now at 5:00 a woman says a carnival worker in bucks county made an inappropriate request of her. police want to know if it happened to anyone else. the woman was in perkcy at the sellersville carnival which ran from july 7th through the 11th. police aren't releasing details about what the man said they say it involved an employee of an amusement ride. a monument that's been standing for 120 years is missing. maple shade police tweeted this morning someone stole the monument, you'ring looing at a picture of it on your screen. it's not small, it marks the spot where the first english speaking settlers lived in maple shade, it stands next to the chester substation. police think someone took it over the weekend. >> three prisoners are scheduled to be e678 cuted in pennsylvania. that's not likely to happen because the governor put a moratorium in place. maurice patterson, hector morales and herbert blakeney are supposed to beut prieves for death row inmates until he gets a legislative study on the death penalty. the state supreme court is reviewing the governor's policy. the prison system doesn't have the mix of drugs required by law. >> new information about the private catholic school on the main line that fired a teacher because of her same sex marriage. nbc10 has the copy of a letter that walter mercer academy sent the teacher. she was fired last month from wald run. it's because she's married to a woman. the school new about the same sex marriage for several years. many

sell his nuclear deal with iran to the american people. >> edward lawrence tells us this is a tough sell here at home. >> president obama defends a nuclear agreement with iran saying preventing them from getting a nuclear bomb remains priority number one. >> either the issue of iran obtaining a nuclear weapon is resolved diplomatically through negotiation or it's resolved through force. >> he's also selling the deal to lawmakers by saying the inspections in iranian mines will be enough. >> if we're counting the amount of uranium that's being mind and suddenly some's missing on the back end they got some explaining to do. >> while the iranian negotiator turned home to a hero's welcome, it's a more difficult sell at home. joe biden lobbies democrats on capitol hill. >> how realistic is it as we expect iran cheats. that's a big part of what i want to get to the bottom of. >> current sanctions are working, and shares the same concerns about iran as leaders of saudi arabia and other u.s. allies in the middle east. >> they were given both the relief of the sanctions, keeping their infrastructure and allowing it to expand within a few years. >> without a deal we risk even more war in the middle east. and other countries in the region would feel compelled to pursue their own nuclear programs. >> the president thinks the deal is it vital for piece. congress will have 60 days to look over the deal and approve it or not. in washington edward lawrence nbc news. >> when it comes to the iran nuclear deal president obama is lying to the american public according to governor chris christie. the president is lying to win support for the deal. by talking about the deal yesterday, inspectors would have 24/7 access to iran's nuclear facilities. under the new agreement, if iran refuses access to a suspicious site an arbitration panel will decide whether they have to submit to an inspection. >> if you like your doctor you can keep him. if you like your insurance plan you can keep it that turned out to be a lie. and i will tell you that when he said yesterday that inspections will happen in iran any time anywhere, the agreement itself undercuts the president's position. >> christie said if the president likes the deal then go sell it, don't lie about it. speaking of the presidential race, hillary clinton holds a sizable lead over the democratic field, however, that leap isn't as big as it was a few months ago. clinton leads bernie sanders 51-17%. martin o'malley and jim webb garnered 1% support, it showed lincoln chaffey with no support. vice president joe biden has not announced his intentions for 2016 but recent reports suggest he is it leaning toward a presidential run. in that same poll 13% of voters 11/they would choose him. most of that support is from clinton backers. >> thousands of philadelphia school children with no access to the internet at home are getting connected. philadelphia is one of 27 cities selected for a new federal program called connect home. it is one of president obama's initiatives. the goal to bring high speed internet to more middle and lower income families. >> we call it the homework gap, it's really children not being able to do their homework at night. they have to find other places like the library. >> the white house says it will help 200,000 students get on the internet at home. ask and you shall receive, it's in the bible. parishioners are hoping that's the case for them. the notre dame alumni association is appealing to leaders in rome to keep their church open. last month, the archdiocese told the parish to close and merge with another. eight delaware county parish's have closed since 2012 because of shrinking participation. video and pictures of today's storms and flooding from nbc10 viewers have been pouring into our newsroom. let's take a look at some of them right now. check out this neighborhood. wow! look at that picture, this is in atlantic county. this is how parts of absecon gzy á earlier today. it's an entire street flooded as you can tell from sidewalk all the way to the other sidewalk. here's another, joseph fair weather sent us this picture right here these shots you can almost make out his feet. water, his knees are right here by the way. here's another one for joseph. this car trying to get through these waters. you can see only the tops of the tires are visible. and then let's check this out. there's some video i want to show you right here. mickey sanchez sent us this club. this is vineland cumberland county right here. the rain is teaming down the street filling up and not stopping drivers from getting around right there. if you want to send in your pictures, don't forget to do so through the nbc10 news app or nbc10.com. you might see yours on tv. glenn, we're still looking ahead to more rain, but not as bad. >> absolutely. and the other thing i want to say after seeing those pictures is don't drive through that stuff. if the water's up to the tops of your tires, it is dangerous. and it's also dangerous for the car, you can get flooded very easily. turn around don't drown. that's the slogan. now, we do have some showers on the radar now. not as threatening as it was this morning, you're going to get pretty wet over the next couple hours. in the poconos, lehigh valley not so much the unusual flow is from the northeast to the southwest. we've got a low pressure center off the east coast, that's why things are moving the way they are this afternoon. and we have a few heavier showers, this one in upper makefield bucks county you can see the precipitation rates about 6/10 of an inch an hour. a little over half inch per hour, a quarter of the intensity of what we saw this morning in atlantic city. a quarter. that's the heaviest shower on the map. even though there's some heavy showers, nothing like this morning. now, let's track it see where it's going to go. new town at 5:20 lower southampton at 5:36 bensalem at 5:43. then the one in montgomery county. to philadelphia around 6:00 remember we did the same tracking about 15 minutes ago, and that timed out to philadelphia right around 6:00 as well. now, we have a few of them in delaware county. heavy shower in springfield, that goes into claymont in delaware at 5:38. these again are moving toward the south-southwest. the other thing that's happened in the last hour is that they're getting a little smaller and more scattered. that's good news, that's a trend. this one near middletown going to somewhere in a at 5:35 and harley at 6:05. as long as these things hold together. they are weakening. now, at the shore, where they got the heaviest rain. they got four inches of rain in two hours, there's more rain coming down through long beach island. it's not nearly as heavy. this is not the kind of rain that would cause flooding. this is less than a quarter inch per hour. again, it was two inches per hour this morning. that's a fraction of what it was this morning. so as we go through the evening we still expect a few showers around. they're really going to be dying out over the next few hours, and then the temperature starts to drop down into the 60s later this evening, and 50s by tomorrow morning. north and west. kind of refreshing out there, and very low humidity during the day tomorrow. a lot of sunshine see very few clouds during the day. we're in the 70s and into the mid-80s, the sea breeze at the shore keeping temperatures down into the mid-70s. speaking of the shore over the weekend, now, we're talking about a heat wave in philadelphia and other inland areas. it's not going to be a heat wave at the shore. we're going to get to escape the heat, 82 degrees, looks pretty nice. the ocean temperature still well above average and sunday is going to be another day escaping the heat. you can also escape the heat by going to the pocono mountains. some thunderstorms are likely on saturday. a little more sunshine coming on sunday. for the rest of the night we still have the showers to contend with. they're getting smaller, perhaps a little weaker that's a good trend as we go into the evening hours. it's going to get dryer and dryer as we go through the night. and less humid and cooler down to 57 degrees north and west. then for tomorrow just a spectacular day. nothing like today. sunny, much less humid, high temperatures in the low 80s, the 7-day forecast another great day coming on friday and then the temperature jumps, and the humidity jumps and we get into a heat wave territory over the weekend. best chance of showers and storms is on saturday and then especially on monday which could be the hottest day of all. >> glenn, thank you very much. most people are afraid of sharks. >> i would say so. some massachusetts beach goers worked to save one, they worked together. this video shows people throwing water on a 7 foot long great white shark monday. it had beached itself on cape cod, the efforts likely saved the shark until rescuers could tow it back to the ocean. crews had to attach a line to a fin and pull it into open water. if p the idea of skydiving is a bit too scary for you. there may be an alternative. you can get the thrill of free falling without the risk. the skydiving simulator is setting up shop in the area. is she the right choice? the sports world is weighing in as caitlyn jenner gets ready to accept an award at tonight's espy's. an a plus tonight for the animals at the cape may county zoo, the zoo is now considered among the best in the country. cape may county zoo ranks fifth on trip advisers top zoos in the nation. the only ones ranking higher are miami, sane the louis, omaha and san diego. cape may county zoo is 37 years old. considerably smaller than the top zoos in the country. an annual budget of well under 2 million million. 250 animals housed there. donations from visitors help offset costs. everyone's talking about this year in the break. get set to free fall in the philadelphia suburbs. you do this right? >> i would do it inside, not outside. >> i'm with you on that. >> an indoor skydiving facility is coming to king of prussia. a company called i fly will build it near the imax video. the wind tunnel gives thrillseekers the sensation of leaping out of an airplane. pretty cool. the facility is expected to open later this year. >> it will be fun, no question. giving convicted criminals a second chance. it was the message we heard from president obama when he spoke in philadelphia yesterday. >> a program in delaware has been carrying out that mission and it's already had an impact. >> it's okay my friend. >> all new at 6:00 a fresh perspective on a persistent problem. gun violence on philadelphia streets. we talk to the man who recorded this now viral video about why he ran toward the gunshots. i'm sigourney weaver and new york is my home. there's no place like it in the world... like our state parks. the adirondacks are my favorite. for hiking, fishing, camping, you name it. niagara falls is the oldest state park, but visiting it never gets old. the readers of a national newspaper voted letchworth the #1 state park in america. watkins glen, #3. new york state parks are a gift. plan your vacation at iloveny.com/summer there's something for everyone. people in south jersey are having to deal with yet another storm cleanup. heavy rains led to flooding. some areas can see more rain tonight. >> let's get to glenn "hurricane" schwartz for an update. >> some rain tonight. nothing like what we saw late last night or this morning. as a matter of fact we're seeing a general trend of getting the showers smaller and weaker. which is good news. because we don't need any more rain. the general trend is moving from northeast to southwest, which is very unusual. the reason though is we have big storms right offshore. that's causing that flow. now, we have a couple heavier cells, this one rather small, coming right into philadelphia. cheltenham, up into the north and east there, this is coming right down through west philly. fairly heavy rain, one 1/2 to two inches per hour. it's not going to last for an hour it's a small cell and it's moving. you can see it's headed right down toward the schuylkill right into parts of center city. and 5:48 in east wick. this will continue to move right down toward the airport. brief delay there as a result. there's a tight pretty strong cell that's moving to the southwest. you can see they're widely scattered now, it's not a big band like it used to be. this is not as threatening as it was. and what we're seeing at the shore is much weaker than it was a half hour ago. that is really a nice trend. the scattered showers tending to diminish with clearing and lower humidity real nice weather for a couple days. more on a heat wave. more on that coming up in a few minutes. >> drew smith is live in bridgeton, cumberland county. a small clog in storm drains could bring us some big problems. >> these rains were so powerful they propelled a lot of stuff. you can take a look on this storm drain. all of this debris here causing a problem. especially for the people that are waiting for the floodwaters to recede. >> people just trying to get to work in the morning have been up against mother nature a lot lately. >> several times a week at least. for the last month we've been hit, we got hit yesterday, some areas of county an nbc10 viewer sent these photos of brewster road in vineland. cars tried to make it through the muddy water. here's a video sent to us from upper deerfield. for john and his cumberland county road crews, it's hard to keep up. >> that's very abnormal. >> they worked to block flooded roads and check the drains, even with the warning barrels up some drivers drove through the high water. >> i was helping push him out. there was already a car stuck in the water. the water was already up to the bumper. >> else nelson is used to working with water. >> it was bad, it was real bad. >> he says it was more than just the usual trouble spots that filled up with rainfall today. >> it seems like every time a storm comes through, the rain's heavier, they last longer. >> this area has a pretty good drainage system we're told. it's not equipped for the heavy rainfall, it woulds well in normal rainfall if they were to be equipped for that it would be an expensive infrastructure. >> if you're neighborhood is in the path of severe weather, you'll find out first on the nbc10 app. you can have weather alerts sent directly to the phone. and follow the rain on our live radar. people at the naacp convention in philadelphia have heard passionate speeches about how to reform our country's criminal justice system. >> members want to make sure those ideas become reality. rosemary conyers joins us live. what's the next step here? >> the main message we've been hearing throughout this convention is that the way to really effect change to make it count is to vote. that's something that president, former president bill clinton spoke about earlier today when he addressed the convention. like president obama, clinton focused his speech on reforming the criminal justice system it starts with the way people think and treat criminals. >> it's changed my heart a lot. i'm sure it's changing others as well. >> hearing president clinton echo the same sentiment about the need to reform the criminal justice system was practically music to their ears. the audience at this naacp convention left philadelphia inspired and encouraged. >> when you attend these conferences, you go back home and you are well energized and you're ready to hit the road fighting. >> clinton called for reducing federal mandatory minimum sentences so the pushishment for prisoners, especially nonviolent offenders fits the crime 37. >> we have to not only do the work we have to rebuild the law enforcement community trust at the neighborhood level if possible. >> what does the naacp do now. >> one of the things we're endeavoring to do is being specific about what we're seeking in terms of reform. be clear about what's necessary. we have to do our part. one of the days we do our part is by voting in record numbers. two, we have to take to the streets. >> the naacp says protests are effective now am coulds the other part. >> exercising my right to vote. not just in my political party but everything. exercising that so my voice will be heard and other folks voices will be heard as well. >> the naacp convention here in philadelphia wraps up this evening with a special dinner featuring attorney general loretta lynch as the keynote speaker. reporting live in center city rosemary conyers nbc10 news. >> president obama's speech focused on giving people a second chance even if they've committed a crime. >> as tim furlong shows us it's having a real impact. >> interesting to watch the president's speech on more fairness in the justice system. with those who have spent lots of time in it coli spent 16 years in prison because -- >> i shot a man and subsequently he passed away. >> his crime hurt his victim's family, he knows he can't run from his own past. >> at the end of the day, someone can always judge me on the very worst deed i've done in my life and it happens. it comes up. >> the president is called for changes that lead toward more rehabilitation. delaware has already made some changes in that direction. in delaware the prisons are crowded and it costs a fortune to keep people locked up. so many people that come out of the prisons come out of there anyway. let's spend the money more wisely, spend it investigating issues that cause people to commit crimes in the first place. >> delaware is trying to help more offenders get back into society. the state will return driver's licenses to nonviolent offenders to help them get the jobs. the department of corrections has the job training program. the state has an automotive and culinary training program for offenders. there's no longer a box asking about past nonviolent conditions. the nonprofit commission has also partnered up with the state to offer real world skills set training for guys coming out of prison. >> you created situations for people to prosper and flourish. you create the situations for people to be relegated to a low order and kept there, then you're creating conditions for another thing. and i would think we don't want the other thing. >> tim furlong, nbc10 news. >> criminal justice report will be in the spotlight in our area tomorrow for a third straight day. it's the topic of governor chris christie's speech in camden. this will be the first governor's policy speech in new jersey since announcing his campaign for president. commuters will have to pay more to ride the rails or the bus. how high are prices for new jersey transit will impact commuter's wallets. diet or exercise? why doctors say one is more important when it comes to losing weight. it turns out cases of lyme disease are swinging sky ward. deer ticks carry the bacteria that causes lyme disease in people. most cases occur in mid-atlantic, northeastern and upper midwestern states. the cdc reports that traditional high risk areas have expanded since the early '90s. some experts think it's because of changes in weather patterns. pennsylvania is the number one stick for cases of lyme disease. over the past three years. deer ticks are present in every county of the state. and then in 2013 95% of cases confirmed cases that is were in 14 states including pennsylvania new jersey and delaware. here's a good reason to get up now, we're sitting down of course, in our anchor chairs. it's a good reason to get up and stretch more. >> i almost feel like i need to stand up and tell you. i'm not. i'm just going to stay right here in this space. sitting for a long time raises a woman's risk of developing several cancers. women who sat more than 6 hours a day were at a higher risk for breast ovarian and blood cancer. the risk was also about 10% higher for developing any cancer. the risk was less for men unless they were also obese. the study was conducted by the american cancer society over a period of 17 years. >> listen to this if you're trying to drop some pounds running alone won't be enough. there's more research tonight showing a good diet is more important than exercise. experts say the problem is people look at exercise as a license to eat. many eat too much after a workout and overestimate how many calories they've burned. the key is the combination of diet and exercise. the first alert radar still tracking in a few small but heavy showers. this one's going down the schuylkill expressway toward center city. it's raining outside our studio right now. i'll show you who's going to get wet tonight and when the next heat wave could arrive. more than a million dollars to help local students succeed. the south jersey school on the receiving end of more than a million dollars in grants nor college. the one night in sports where the jersey you wear doesn't matter. >> some big namath heats will come together tonight in los angeles for espn's espy awards. this little girl from our area leah still who so many have come to know and root for as she battles cancer at chop will receive the perseverance award, she's not making the trip on stage to get it. her doctors don't want her to travel because her immune system is still so weak. instead her father bengals defensive tackle will accept the award in her honor. caitlyn jenner will receive the arthur ashe courage award, that award is coming with some controversy. jim rosenfield is live with more on that story. jim? >> less than two months ago, caitlyn jenner revealed herself to the world on the cover of vanity fair. and tonight it's going to be the first time she steps on to the red carpet as herself. some people are questioning if caitlyn is the right person for the award. some say it's a big marketing ploy. bob costas weighed in on the issue on the dan patrick radio show this morning. >> it's in not anything against caitlyn jenner i'm pretty sure they could have found someone who was much closer to actively involved in sports who would have been deserving of what that award represents. >> now, the executive producer of the espy awards told sports illustrated that selecting jenner was not a ratings ploy instead, it's very rare you get to tell a story that hopefully affect the people and moves people and has meaning and makes a difference. some believe the award should go to lauren hill a former division three basketball player from ohio. she fought brain cancer raised more than a million and a half dollars for cancer before she died back in april. caitlyn jenner will be joined by all of her children at tonight's show. she's been asking fans for suggestions about what to wear to the event. live in the digital operations center jim rosenfield nbc10 news back to you. >> new jersey transit riders should get set to shell out more cash. nbc's check can i beck forward shows us what it will mean for riders. >> basically today new jersey transit said drop dead. >> chairman fox? >> yes. the vote to move full speed ahead was unanimous. so is the reaction we got from commuters. >> it's a ripoff. >> they need to stop. >> new jersey transit's board of directors told a packed room wednesday they don't have the money. and that this is the only route available to close a nearly $60 million budget gap. >> it is not an easy decision. it's not a decision that anybody takes lightly. we do take into consideration the impact that it has on our riders. >> rates would go up an average 9% across the board for bus and rail riders. for example, a one way train ride from met toe park to pen station would go from $10 to $10.75. a monthly pass from 2.84 to 3.10. >> it's ridiculous that just getting to and from work is costing half of what i'm making. >> liam blank estimates his fair from new brunswick to his internship in new york will go up a dollar each way. while the transit agency says the increase will avoid widespread cuts. commuters call it a sour deal. >> i'll be buying me a car. real soon. >> the rate increase will go into effect in october. the last time fares went up was in 2010 when commuters saw their fares rise 22%. check can i beck ford, nbc10 news. yes, we issued a first alert yesterday. i'll legal you know about the threat of flooding overnight and into the day today. of course horrible morning now we have the afternoon rush there are more showers. not nearly like it was yesterday. but some of them are heavy and some of them are coming right through populated areas. this one is coming down the schuylkill expressway here in philadelphia center city right in here it's coming more toward university of pennsylvania. this is a live camera look at the schuylkill at spring garden and, of course it's soaking wet. and it's rush hour and, of course that doesn't help things any that continues to move to the south. other heavier showers in lower bucks county and over toward mercer county in new jersey everything is moving to the south today, so this will be in burlington about 6:02 willingboro 6:11 lumberton 6:29. showers are pretty well separated. they're getting weaker in general. unfortunately, the weakest of them at the shore, where they got so much rain this morning, two inches per hour with storms not moving. so they did get two inches an hour, and four inches in two hours, what do they have now? less than a quarter inch of rain per hour with these showers. it's not nearly the threat of what we saw during the morning hours. you request see others in delaware as well. they're small. and they're moving. the reason we're following so closely, is because there's been so much rain. this area in yell loy skimted two inches or more and the reds three inches or more. we don't need another inch anywhere in the area. but especially in those places. the future cast shows over the next couple hours, things really die down across the area. dies down in pennsylvania first. we're already seeing the dryer air in the poconos and into berks county. and later on tonight temperatures dropping into the 50s north and west. that's a sign of just how dry the air is that's coming in. a lot of sunshine during the day tomorrow. temperatures getting into the 80s in the city low humidity we do get the sea breeze at the shore. we're likely to see sea breezes at the shore this weekend which is going to be good inland is going to be hot, it's going to be in the '90s, you can escape saturday and sunday. not only at the shore, but in the poconos. poconos likely to have thunderstorms on saturday. not as likely on sunday. we still have those showers and need the umbrella for a while. it's not going to produce flooding because they're small and moving. unlike this morning, clearing and less humid overnight. low down to 57 in some of the cooler suburbs. during the day tomorrow. we have nothing but sunshine. much
