your thursday as well iain. it look leak our third heat wave still brewing. temperatures tuesday 93 for the high. 93 today. and then as we move ahead to your thursday the forecast is 91 degrees. so we'll come close but we can compete against a few more clouds as well as the threat for some scattered showers and storms. but dangerous heat continues tomorrow. especially along the urbanized e95 corridor. we have that excessive heat warning from noon until 6:00 o'clock. limit your outdoor exposure. feels like temperatures approaching the trip tell digits. still pretty warm right now. 82 degrees in philadelphia. look at that humidity. 71%. so it still feels like 87 right now stepping outdoors. temperatures pretty uniform upper 70s low 80s right now. 77 degrees in millville as well as wildwood. we're looking at 81 in trenton. 79 degrees right now in pottstown. but take look at the dew points the measure of moisture in the atmosphere. any time we have dew points above 60 it starts to feel sticky but look at the dew points right now in the 70s. even upper 70s for dover. 74 is the due point temperature right now in wilmington so very tropical almost like we're along the gulf of mexico right now. but here in the philadelphia area. so take look at that scale. you can see above 60 it's sticky uncomfortable 65. we have dew points above 70 so it is oppressive humidity out there. so for tomorrow, we'll be keeping tabs on this cold front off to the west. it's not going to really bring us any cold air but behind. we will see lower humidity. it will likely stay hot but out ahead of it, winds out of the southwest pumping up more moisture and we'll watch a line of scattered showers and some downpours. so mostly cloudy skies out there tomorrow morning. maybe a downpour really any time tomorrow. so have those pocket umbrellas on stand by and as we continue to roll the clock we'll likely see some breaks in the clouds, some sunshine. that will help us hopefully reach that 90 or better to call it our third heat wave keeping tabs on that line in the afternoon for a better chance of showers and downpours between say, 4:00 o'clock and 7:00 p.m. tomorrow. the best chance for heavy rainfall widespread by 5:00 o'clock. along the i-95 corridor. so it could be a wet and steamy evening commute. keep that mind and that front pushes offshore tomorrow night. lower humidity by friday but it's still going to stay hot. steamy tonight upper 60s. mid 70. 91 degrees if we can compete with those clouds and see some sunshine breaks. we'll hit it and then by friday it's still hot but not as humid. 92 degrees. low 90's into the upcoming weekend. so staying pretty steamy across the area with or without that official third heat wave so tomorrow we've got to watch the clouds and the showers that could maybe limit our temperature from making it to 90. but i think we'll do it. >> all right. thank you scott. >> thank you scott. check this video out. two guys hanging out at a bar

corridor. we have that excessive heat warning from noon until 6:00 o'clock. limit your outdoor exposure. feels like temperatures approaching the trip tell digits. still pretty warm right now. 82 degrees in philadelphia. look at that humidity. 71%. so it still feels like 87 right now stepping outdoors. temperatures pretty uniform upper 70s low 80s right now. 77 degrees in millville as well as

to feel sticky but look at the dew points right now in the 70s. even upper 70s for dover. 74 is the due point temperature right now in wilmington so very tropical almost like we're along the gulf of mexico right now. but here in the philadelphia area. so take look at that scale. you can see above 60 it's sticky uncomfortable 65. we have dew points above 70 so it is oppressive humidity out there. so for tomorrow, we'll be keeping tabs on this cold front off to the west. it's not going to really bring us any cold air but behind. we will see lower humidity. it will likely stay hot but out ahead of it, winds out of the southwest pumping up more moisture and we'll watch a line of scattered showers and some downpours. so mostly cloudy skies out there tomorrow morning. maybe a downpour really any time tomorrow. so have those pocket umbrellas on stand by and as we continue to roll the clock we'll likely see some breaks in the clouds, some sunshine. that will help us hopefully reach that 90
