THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY FOR HIGHLY 
URBANIZED AREAS AROUND PHILADELPHIA. A SOUTHWEST BREEZE WILL DEVELOP 
ON TUESDAY. THIS BREEZE WILL BRING IN HOTTER AND MORE HUMID AIR INTO 
THE REGION. THE COMBINATION OF THE TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY WILL 
MAKE IT FEEL LIKE 100 DEGREES TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

FORTUNATELY...THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WON'T BE WITH US LONG.  A STRONG 
COLD FRONT IS PUSHING SOUTH FROM CANADA...AND WILL MOVE THROUGH THE 
REGION TUESDAY NIGHT. WE WILL LIKELY SEE THUNDERSTORMS WITH OR JUST

GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN.

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.

A HEAT ADVISORY IS ISSUED WHEN HIGH HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO
COMBINE WITH HOT TEMPERATURES TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT IS 100 DEGREES 
OR GREATER FOR ONE DAY IN THE HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS.
