SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
415 AM EDT TUE JUL 16 2002

...WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES IN THE MID 90S TO AROUND 100...

ANOTHER SURGE OF HEAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE REGION ON 
WEDNESDAY. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO CLIMB WELL INTO 
THE 90S...WITH DEWPOINTS CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 60S. THE 
COMBINATION OF THE TWO WILL CAUSE UNCOMFORTABLE CONDITIONS FROM THE 
LEHIGH VALLEY AND MUCH OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY THROUGH THE 
PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA TO THE NORTHERN DELMARVA. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS EXPECTED TO BE WARM AND MUGGY. A LITTLE RELIEF 
FROM THE HEAT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE SOUTHERN POCONOS...FAR 
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY AND ALONG THE IMMEDIATE ALTANTIC COAST.

WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF URBAN AREAS...THESE CONDITIONS ARE 
NOT EXPECTED TO BE THREATENING TO LIFE OR HEALTH. HOWEVER...THE 
ELDERLY...THE VERY YOUNG AND THE INFIRM ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT 
STRESS THAN THE REST OF US. PETS ALSO ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE 
HEAT. PLEASE BE SURE THAT ALL HAVE ACCESS TO A COMFORTABLE 
ENVIRONMENT ON WEDNESDAY.

A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE REGION ON THURSDAY...AND 
TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY SHOULD BE A LITTLE COOLER DUE TO EXPECTED 
CLOUDS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS.
