Hot and sunny today in Philadelphia, excessive heat warning in effect for Wednesday

WERE DAMAGED. >>> TURNING TO OUR NEXT WEATHER FORECAST, EXPECTING TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S TODAY, AND WILL BE EVEN HOTTER AND MORE HUMID TOMORROW. >> Jan: NEXT WEATHER METEOROLOGIST, GRANT GILMORE JOINING JUST OUR VIRTUAL STUDIO WITH THE LATEST ON THE HEAT, NOT OUT OF SUMMER JUST YET. GRONKOWSKI ZERO. >> Grant: REMEMBER LAST WEEK? IT WAS NICE, WASN'T IT? A DISTANT MEMORY? OH, IT IS, ISN'T IT? TEMPS LOW TO MID 70S LAST WEEK, LOWS UNTIL THE 40'S FOR SOME OF US. OUR FALSE FALL. WELCOME BACK TO SUMMER. IT IS HERE. TEMPERATURES CLIMBING BACK UP TO ZERO NINE THIS AFTERNOON. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD NEXT WEATHER ALERT UP FOR TOMORROW. OKAY? THAT'S WHEN THE DANGEROUS HEAT REALLY ARRIVES, TODAY IS MORE JUST LIKE YOUR TYPICAL SUMMERTIME HEAT, ALL BE IT LITTLE WARMER THAN NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. EXCESSIVE HEAT TOMORROW. STRONG STORMS ALSO, SO IT IS KIND OF TWO-FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WE HAVE THE BIG HEAT AND HEAT AND HUMIDITY FUELS THE THREAT FOR THE SEVERE WEATHER THAT WILL SEE ARRIVE BETWEEN 7:00 AND AROUND 2:00 TOMORROW. OR RATHER INTO THURSDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE, ALL IS CALM ACROSS THE AREA FOR YOUR TUESDAY MORNING FOR YOUR SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL, MANY OF YOU WAKING UP THIS MORNING, COMING OFF THE FIRST DAY I HAVE SCHOOL YESTERDAY. IT IS NICE MORNING OUT THERE. LIVE VIEW FROM BETHLEHEM. WHERE EVERYTHING IS STILL RELATIVELY CALM UNTIL THE MORNING RUSH GETS GOING. LET'S TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE AT CURRENT TEMPERATURES AROUND THE AREA. GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S DOWN THE SHORE RIGHT NOW. ATLANTIC CITY, AT 69 DEGREES, MILLVILLE, 64, LET ME TAKE YOU UP TO THE DELAWARE VALLEY, HERE, ACROSS THE I95 CORRIDOR FROM WILMINGTON TO PHILLY TEMPERATURES RIGHT AT 66, AND 70 DEGREES. LEHIGH VALLEY WAKING UP NICE AND AND AS WELL. TEMPERATURES NEAR 60 DEGREES IN DOYLESTOWN. ALLENTOWN, TEMPERATURES ARE RIGHT AROUND 63. SO, TUESDAY, THOUGH IT IS KIND OF THAT FAR ODD DAY, WHERE YOU'RE JUST COMING OFF THE WEEKENDS STILL, DUSTING OFF THE RUST FROM YESTERDAY, TODAY OVERALL NORMAL SUMMER DAY. THOUGH I WILL MENTION, WE DO HAVE AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FOR THE I95 CORRIDOR, THAT URBAN CORRIDOR, RELATIVELY CALM WINDS. A LOT OF SUNSHINE AND THE HEAT ALL-PRO DEUCE THAT CHEMICAL REACTION TO GIVE US LITTLE EXTRA OZONE NEAR THE SURFACE, SO IF YOU HAVE RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS TAKE IT EASY ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE HEATING OF THE DAY. I MENTION THE STORMS TOMORROW. TRACKING SOME STORMS BACK TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES STATES. THAT'S AS OWE ATE DOLLARS WITH COLD FRONT SURGING TO THE EAST. BUT OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT, LOOK AT ALL OF THESE HEAT ADVISORIES IN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS, ALL OF THAT AIR WHAT'S HEADED IN OUR DIRECTION. AND THERE YOU SEE US WITH A EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING, AND SOME SURROUNDING HEAT ADVISORIES, CHICAGO, WAKING UP WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR 81 DEGREES. IT IS A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OUT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THAT'S WHAT WE START TO SEE AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. THAT BUILDING HEAT, HUMID IT THINK FOLLOW ESPECIALLY STARTING TOMORROW MORNING. NOW, AS WE GET INTO THIS AFTERNOON WE WILL PEAK WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND 90 DEGREES, IT WILL FEEL THREE, 5 DEGREES WARMER, JUST WITH THE LITTLE BIT OF HUMIDITY THAT WE HAVE IN THE AIR TODAY. WE START OFF TOMORROW MORNING WITH TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. IT ALMOST WARM TO START THE DAY. MUGGY TOO, SIDE NOTE. BUT THE REAL HEAT, HUMIDITY HIT US TOMORROW AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES NEAR 96 AGAIN FEELING LIKE 105 IN SOME PLACES. THEN WATCHING THAT COLD FRONT, AS IT SNEAKS IN FROM THE NORTH, THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A LOT OF STORMS T WON'T BE WIDESPREAD. I DO EXPECT SOME OF THOSE STORMS TO BE A LITTLE ON THE STRONG TO SEVERE SIDE. THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF INSTABILITY, AHEAD OF THE COLDS FRONT TO REALLY FUEL SOME OF THOSE STORMS. FRONT DROPS OUT. WE COULD SEE FEW TRAILING SHOWERS AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY. BUT, THE REAL STORMS I THINK WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FORAY LIVE AS WE GO THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING. TODAY, NO RAIN. JUST SUNNY AND HOT. HIGHS UP AROUND 90 DEGREES. TOMORROW, WE START TO FEEL THAT EARLY MORNING HUMIDITY. TEMPERATURES BOTTOM OUT AROUND 72 DEGREES, THEN GET READY FOR THE HEAT. HIGHS UP AROUND 96 WITH CHANCE FOR LATE DAY SHOWERS AND STORMS. NEXT WEATHER SEVEN-DAY FORECAST, NEXT WEATHER AL LEFT FOR THURSDAY, COOLER SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK, SEE FEW SHOWERS HERE AND THERE. RIGHT NOW LOOKS LIKE NEXT DECENT CHANCE OF RAIN ARRIVES
