...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TODAY FOR HIGHLY 
URBANIZED AREAS...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ CONTINUES AN 
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING THROUGH TODAY FOR HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS IN 
THE METROPOLITAN PHILADELPHIA AREA.

VERY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION TODAY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REACH INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S IN MOST 
AREAS. HIGHER HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDICES BETWEEN 100 
AND 105 THIS AFTERNOON.  

LIMIT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER OR OTHER
NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, WEAR LIGHT COLORED, LIGHT WEIGHT CLOTHES,
AND IF POSSIBLE, SPEND MORE TIME IN AIR CONDITIONED OR WELL
VENTILATED PLACES. 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 END TONIGHT 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. STRONG GUSTY WINDS, FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND 
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS ARE LIKELY WITH THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS. 
COOLER AND SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR IS ON TAP FOR THE WEEKEND. 

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