...HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE 
WEEK...

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE DELAWARE VALLEY INTO 
FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS THE REGION FRIDAY 
AFTERNOON OR EVENING, ENDING THE HOT SPELL.

HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD PEAK IN THE 90 TO 95 DEGREE RANGE WEDNESDAY 
THROUGH FRIDAY, WITH THE HEAT INDEX RISING TO 95 TO 100 DURING THE 
HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY. LOW TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT WILL DROP ONLY TO 
THE 70S, MEANING THAT NIGHTTIME CONDITIONS WILL NOT OFFER A GREAT 
DEAL OF RELIEF. 

THE ONLY AREAS THAT WONT BE QUITE AS HOT WILL BE IN THE MOUNTAINS 
AND ALONG THE BEACHES.

WHEN HOT AND HUMID WEATHER OCCURS, YOU SHOULD LIMIT YOUR TIME OUT OF 
DOORS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON. KEEP HYDRATED BY 
DRINKING LOTS OF WATER. BE SURE TO CHECK ON ELDERLY OR INFIRMED 
RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS, AS THEY ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT 
RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. INSURE THAT PETS AND LIVESTOCK HAVE PLENTY 
OF WATER AND SHADE, AND ARE NOT CONFINED IN HOT SPACES. NEVER LEAVE 
CHILDREN OR ANIMALS IN A CLOSED VEHICLE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME.

A HEAT ADVISORY OR EVEN AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING OR WATCH MAY BE 
NEEDED DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS, ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
