SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
305 AM EDT SAT JUL 5 2003

...VERY HOT AND HUMID TODAY...

HOT AIR WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION TODAY WITH TEMPERATURES AGAIN 
RISING INTO THE 90S. THE HEAT INDEX WILL RISE WELL INTO THE 90S IN 
MOST AREAS WITH SOME AREAS REACHING 100. EVEN THE POCONOS AND THE 
COASTAL REGIONS WILL BE HOT TODAY. HOWEVER...ALONG THE COAST...SOME 
RELIEF IS EXPECTED AS A SEABREEZE DEVELOPS LATE THIS 
AFTERNOON.

A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED TO 
BRING LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF 
THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD HAVE BRIEF BUT STRONG GUSTY 
WINDS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE POCONOS.

THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL DISSIPATE AS IT HEADS OUR WAY. THE RESULT 
WILL BE ONLY SLIGHTLY LOWER TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY. EVEN SO...MOST 
AREAS IN SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...NORTHEAST MARYLAND...DELAWARE AND 
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY SHOULD STILL SEE 90 DEGREES ON 
SUNDAY.

LIMIT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, IF POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE 
HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON.

BE SURE TO CHECK ON THE ELDERLY AS THEY ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT 
RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS.
