SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
400 AM EDT THU AUG 14 2003

...THUNDERSTORM THREAT REPLACED BY SUNSHINE AND HEAT...

A RELATIVELY RARE OCCURRENCE FOR THIS AUGUST WILL TAKE PLACE TODAY...
BRIGHT BLUE SKIES WILL COVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC AREA AND THAT BIG
ROUND YELLOW BALL IN THE SKY WILL ACTUALLY BE THE SUN.  THE ABUNDANT
SUNSHINE WILL DRIVE TEMPERATURES TO AROUND 90 DEGREES OR SLIGHTLY
HIGHER...EXCEPT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND IN THE POCONOS WHERE
READINGS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES LOWER.  

A SECOND DAY OF SUN AND HEAT WILL OCCUR FRIDAY...AND TEMPERATURES
MAY ACTUALLY BE A DEGREE OR TWO HIGHER THAN TODAY IN SOME LOCATIONS.

HEAT INDICES BOTH TODAY AND FRIDAY WILL RISE WELL INTO THE 90S IN
MOST AREAS.  BE AWARE OF THESE HOT CONDITIONS AND LIMIT YOUR
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY.

A COLD FRONT DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL BRING SOME CLOUDS
IN FOR SATURDAY...ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON.  HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY SHOULD BE
A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN TODAY AND FRIDAY...BUT COULD STILL REACH 90
DEGREES IN SOME SECTIONS FROM PHILADELPHIA SOUTH AND EAST BEFORE THE 
SHOWERS MOVE IN.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH SUNDAY...ALLOWING SLIGHTLY COOLER
AIR TO MOVE IN AND BRING AN END TO OUR BRIEF HEATWAVE.
