EFFECT FOR WEDNESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NEW JERSEY IS CONTINUING 
THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR WEDNESDAY. A HEAT WATCH IS ISSUED WHEN 
HIGH HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO COMBINE WITH HOT TEMPERATURES TO 
MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT IS 100 DEGREES IN URBAN AREAS.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION TODAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER 90S 
DEGREES WITH THE HUMIDITY FROM 45 TO 55 PERCENT. THIS WILL BE 
SLIGHTLY LESS OPPRESSIVE THAN YESTERDAY AND SHOULD KEEP HEAT INDICES 
BELOW 100. ON WEDNESDAY HOWEVER...AS THE WARM FRONT CURRENTLY OVER 
THE REGION...MOVES WELL NORTH...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH AS HIGH 
AS 95 DEGREES. MOST NOTICEABLE WILL BE THE HUMIDITY WHICH WILL RANGE 
FROM 55 TO 65 PERCENT. THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO WILL MAKE IT FEEL 
HOTTER AND CERTAINLY MORE UNCOMFORTABLE. 

YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK ON THE SICK AND ELDERLY TODAY TO INSURE THAT
THEY CAN COPE WITH THE OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS TOMORROW. REMEMBER TO 
MAKE PROVISIONS FOR PETS...WHO ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE HEAT AND 
HUMIDITY.
