number four. come over to my pool. >> i'll be there. >> storm tracker6 live double scan showing we are rain free out there and sky6 taking a look over the ben franklin bridge and the delaware showing that we're also cloud free. we have a lot of sunshine out there, blue skies and temperatures definitely warmer than yesterday. yesterday's high 84. today the high 88 which is 2 degrees above normal. currently 87 degrees in philadelphia and trenton, allentown 85 in wilmington 84. millville 86 and that sea breeze has knocked the temperature down on the boardwalk in atlantic city down to 78 degrees. satellite6 along with action radar showing that we have loads of sunshine rider now. high pressure really in control. if you look up to the north you can see this ribbon of clouds and some moisture trying to move through new york state. that will really have a tough time dropping to the south thanks to that high pressure. so, tonight mostly clear and still humidity levels will be comfortable, temperatures seasonable, 60 in the cooler suburbs, 68 degrees for center city. then for tomorrow, the heat is on. our afternoon high bumping up to 91 degrees. again, the dewpoints generally in the upper 50's and low 60's, so humidity won't abhuge factor. that cold front again could touch off a thunderstorm in the poconos and then it really just washes out. this high pressure intensifies on sunday so that heat pump will knock temperatures up to 93 degrees and also dewpoints will be in the mid 60's so it gets more muggy and i think the peek of the heat will be on monday. if you're down the shore the ocean temperature 76 degrees, very comfortable. it's going to be a great weekend on the beaches. loads of sunshine on saturday, 83 degrees and sunday will be warmer and a little bit more humid with a high of 85. if you're heading up to the mountains tomorrow afternoon an isolated thunderstorm possible. otherwise partly sunny and warm, 82 degrees. and on sunday it gets a little bit toasty for the poconos with a high of 85 degrees. so, the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, lots of sunshine tomorrow. it will be hot but again, the humidity not a huge factor. 91 degrees on sunday, up to 93 degrees and more humid as well, so if you're head to the eagles game at the linc, stay hydrated, drink lots of. what at the kickoff 90 degrees, by the fourth quarter up to that afternoon high of 93. heading into monday, the peek of the heat 94 degrees. perhaps a few afternoon thunderstorms. this officially makes it heat wave number four with three days in the 90's but that heat wave likely will be extended tuesday steamy with some afternoon thunderstorms as a weak cold front tries to approach, 92 degrees. on wednesday and thursday also a chance of a few thunderstorms with afternoon highs in the low 90's and friday up to 92 degrees. the last heat wave eight days look like this one could be about the same. the hottest day at this point appears to be monday, 94 degrees. so, at least we're looking at temperatures generally in the low 90's, not upper nineties. >> okay we'll take that. >> we have no choice. >> cecily thanks. we'll be right back. >> folks wanting to get new ink will have plenty to choose from this weekend in south jersey. the wildwoods convention center is hosting the sixth annual tattoo show and expo. more than 300 tattoo artists will
