A record high, maybe 100, on tap for Philly on Sunday as the heat wave crests

The official high at Philadelphia International Airport reached 98 Saturday, shy of a record, but with a heat index reaching 100 degrees, hot enough.

“You guys are roasting pretty good,” said Bob Smerbeck, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc., in State College, where it wasn’t exactly in the “code blue” zone as temperatures there reached the low 90s.
