ANOTHER HOT HUMID AIR MASS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO SOUTHEASTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE FOR FRIDAY AND FOR THE COMING

GLOUCESTER COUNTY. 

IN NORTHERN DELAWARE, NEW CASTLE COUNTY. 

DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY TEMPERATURES ARE 
FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 90S.  THE HIGH HUMIDITY 
LEVELS SHOULD CAUSE HEAT INDEX VALUES TO REACH AROUND 100 THIS

AT NIGHT, THERE WILL BE ONLY A LIMITED AMOUNT OF RELIEF FROM THE 
HEAT WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING NO LOWER THAN THE 70S.

LIMIT YOUR TIME OUT OF DOORS IF POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE HEAT 
OF THE AFTERNOON.  BE SURE TO CHECK ON YOUR ELDERLY RELATIVES

HEALTH PROBLEMS. 

THE HOT HUMID WEATHER IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY, AND THERE
REMAINS A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE THAT THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL BE
EXTENDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL DAY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SOME RELIEF FROM
THE HEAT IS POSSIBLE DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE NEW WEEK.

CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC AILMENTS ARE USUALLY
THE FIRST TO SUFFER FROM THE HEAT. HEAT EXHAUSTION, CRAMPS, OR IN
EXTREME CASES HEAT STROKE CAN RESULT FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE
CONDITIONS. FRIENDS, RELATIVES, OR NEIGHBORS SHOULD CHECK ON PEOPLE
WHO MAY BE AT RISK.

CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS OR OTHER CAMPS
SHOULD NOT BE DOING ANY STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES DURING THE HOTTEST PARTS
OF THE DAY. COACHES, TRAINERS AND COUNSELORS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR
THE FIRST SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION. PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY ARE
DRINKING PLENTY OF LIQUIDS. DO NOT FORGET YOUR PETS ALSO AND GIVE
THEM A COOL OR SHADY PLACE TO STAY WITH PLENTY OF FRESH COOL WATER.
