...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR TODAY...

HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE EAST COAST WILL CONTINUE TO CIRCULATE HOT AND 
HUMID AIR INTO THE REGION TODAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES YESTERDAY REACHED
THE MID 80S ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. HIGH
TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE EXPECTED TO TOP OUT BETWEEN 90 AND 95 DEGREES.
THESE TEMPERATURES COUPLED WITH DEW POINTS AROUND
70 DEGREES WILL CAUSE HEAT INDEX VALUES TO RISE TO NEAR 100 DEGREES 
THIS AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CONTINUES
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT ADVISORY FOR TODAY FOR HIGHLY URBAN AREAS IN AND
AROUND PHILADELPHIA.

DURING HOT AND HUMID WEATHER, LIMIT YOUR TIME OUTDOORS. IF YOU NEED 
TO WORK OR SPEND TIME OUTDOORS, TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS IN AN AIR 
CONDITIONED BUILDING, A ROOM WITH FANS, OR IN THE SHADE. DRINK 
PLENTY OF WATER OR NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. WEAR LIGHT COLORED AND 
LIGHT WEIGHT CLOTHING TO LIMIT THE ABSORPTION OF THE HEAT. ALSO, IF 
YOU ARE IN AND ENCLOSED AREA WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING, IT IS BEST TO 
KEEP THE WINDOWS OPEN TO ALLOW BETTER CIRCULATION OF THE AIR.

REMEMBER, NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS IN A VEHICLE DURING HOT 
WEATHER FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE A VEHICLE 
BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IF YOU HAVE ELDERLY 
NEIGHBORS, PERIODICALLY CHECK ON THEM DURING TIMES OF HOT WEATHER TO 
BE SURE THEY ARE OKAY.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION FROM NORTH TO SOUTH 
THURSDAY, ALLOWING FOR COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR TO OVERSPREAD THE 
ENTIRE AREA. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR UPDATES ON THE HOT WEATHER.
