...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH MONDAY...

THE RETURN OF A SOUTHERLY FLOW OF AIR IS EXPECTED TO BOOST 
TEMPERATURES INTO THE LOW AND MID 90S SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND AGAIN 
MONDAY AFTERNOON. THESE HOT TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH HIGH HUMIDITY 
WILL ONCE AGAIN BOOST HEAT INDEX VALUES TO AROUND 100 OR SLIGHTLY 
ABOVE BOTH DAYS.  

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS EXTENDED THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING 
THROUGH MONDAY FOR HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS IN AND AROUND 
PHILADELPHIA...CAMDEN...TRENTON AND WILMINGTON.

IF POSSIBLE...LIMIT YOUR TIME OUTDOORS DURING THE HIGH HEAT OF THE 
DAY. REMEMBER TO CHECK ON THE ELDERLY SINCE THEY ARE MOST 
SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. THE DURATION OF THIS 
UNSEASONABLY HOT WEATHER HAS AN ACCUMULATIVE EFFECT ON THEM. THE 
NUMBER OF HEAT RELATED DEATHS ALMOST ALWAYS INCREASES AS THE NUMBER 
OF 90 PLUS DAYS INCREASES. MAKE SURE PETS HAVE SHADE AND WATER. 
NEVER LEAVE PEOPLE OR PETS IN A CLOSED VEHICLE FOR ANY LENGTH OF 
TIME. 

RELIEF IS ON THE WAY IN THE FORM OF A STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHING 
THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE 
AREA MONDAY NIGHT AND COULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. 
COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO FILTER INTO THE REGION TUESDAY 
MORNING AND BY WEDNESDAY HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW 80S.

DETAILS OR UPDATES.
