PHILADELPHIA - Temperatures overnight into Wednesday will not cool off by much, as the Delaware Valley looks ahead to another day of extreme heat.

Wednesday’s temperatures will jump 20 degrees from the morning lows, into the 90s, while it will feel like temperatures are somewhere between 100 and 105 degrees across much of the Delaware Valley.
