SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
510 AM EDT THU JUL 3 2003

...SHOWERS TODAY THEN HOT AND HUMID FOR THE WEEKEND...

THE REMNANTS OF "BILL" BROUGHT SIGNIFICANT RAIN OVERNIGHT TO MUCH 
OF THE DELMARVA AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY...WITH MANY LOCATIONS 
PICKING UP OVER AN INCH. THE STEADIER RAIN WAS MOVING OFF TO THE 
NORTHEAST EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT SINCE THE ACTUAL CENTER OF THE 
REMNANT LOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE DELMARVA TODAY...MORE SHOWERS ARE 
EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY FROM THE PHILADELPHIA AREA SOUTH AND EAST. UP 
IN THE POCONOS AND EXTREME NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY...THERE WILL BE SOME 
SUNSHINE...AS WELL AS THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES TO BE FOUND AROUND 
THE AREA TODAY.

AFTER THE REMNANT LOW MOVES OFF THE COAST TONIGHT...A MUCH WARMER 
AIRMASS WILL SPREAD IN FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES 
IN MOST INLAND AREAS SHOULD REACH 90 FRIDAY...AND MANY LOCATIONS 
COULD APPROACH 95 SATURDAY...ALONG WITH PLENTY OF HUMIDITY. AN 
AFTERNOON SEABREEZE SHOULD KEEP THE COASTAL AREAS A BIT COOLER...BUT 
EVEN THERE...TEMPERATURES SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE 80S BOTH DAYS.

HEAT INDEX VALUES COULD REACH NEAR 100 AT MANY INLAND LOCATIONS 
SATURDAY...BUT A WEAK COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO DROP SOUTH THROUGH 
THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT COULD TAKE THE EDGE OFF THE HEAT AND 
HUMIDITY FOR SUNDAY.

WHATEVER YOUR WEEKEND PLANS ARE...BE READY FOR THE HEAT AND 
HUMIDITY. AND IF YOU'LL BE OUTDOORS...REMEMBER THE SUNSCREEN.
