...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING EXTENDED INTO FRIDAY FOR HIGHLY
URBANIZED AREAS...

VERY HOT AND MORE HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE 
REGION THE NEXT TWO DAYS. TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON WILL REACH 
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S IN MOST AREAS WITH SIMILAR HIGH 
TEMPERATURES FOR FRIDAY. HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL RISE A BIT EACH DAY 
AND WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDICES OF AROUND 100 THIS AFTERNOON AND 
BETWEEN 100 AND 105 FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL 
ONLY DROP INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S, WITH SOME UPPER 70S WITHIN 
PHILADELPHIA.  

TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE HEAT, LIMIT YOUR TIME 
OUT OF DOORS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY. ALSO, 
PLEASE CHECK ON YOUR ELDERLY RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS TO BE SURE THEY 
ARE OKAY. THE ELDERLY, THE VERY YOUNG, AND THOSE WHO ARE ILL ARE 
MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. CHILDREN AND 
ADOLESCENTS PARTICIPATING IN CAMPS SHOULD NOT BE DOING STRENUOUS 
ACTIVITIES, ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOONS. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY
ARE DRINKING ENOUGH LIQUIDS. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER YOUR
PETS. KEEP THEM IN A COOL LOCATION, AND BE SURE THEY HAVE PLENTY OF
COOL WATER TO DRINK.

THE HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL DIMINISH FRIDAY NIGHT AS A COLD 
FRONT MOVES THROUGH OUR REGION. THIS FRONT WILL BRING MORE CLOUDS 
AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. SOME OF THE 
THUNDERSTORMS MIGHT BE STRONG IF THEY COINCIDE WITH THE HIGHEST 
TEMPERATURES OF THE DAY. COOLER AND SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR WILL FOLLOW 
THE FRONT. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THE EXCESSIVE HEAT.
