SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
508 AM EDT MON JUL 8 2002

...SMOKE ON ITS WAY OUT - TO BE REPLACED BY HEAT AND HUMIDITY...

THE PERSISTENT SMOKE FROM THE QUEBEC FIRES WILL FINALLY BE LEAVING 
THE AREA TODAY...AS WINDS TURN TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST AND SEND IT 
OFF TOWARD NEW ENGLAND.  BUT WHILE THE WIND WILL BLOW OUT THE 
SMOKE...IT WILL BLOW IN THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS. 
TEMPERATURES WILL REACH INTO THE LOWER 90S IN MANY INLAND SECTIONS 
TODAY AND TUESDAY...AND WITH THE INCREASING DEW POINTS...THE HEAT 
INDEX TUESDAY SHOULD REACH BETWEEN 95 AND 100.

FORTUNATELY...THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WON'T BE WITH US LONG.  A FAIRLY 
STRONG COLD FRONT IS PUSHING SOUTH FROM CANADA...AND WILL MOVE 
THROUGH THE MID ATLANTIC STATES LATE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. 
WE'LL LIKELY SEE THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE FRONT...WITH THE BEST 
CHANCES JUST AHEAD OF OR ALONG THE FRONT TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.

BEHIND THE FRONT...A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL SPREAD IN 
WEDNESDAY AND REMAIN WITH US INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...WHEN WE 
MIGHT SEE THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.
