...VERY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY...

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY TONIGHT...

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB WELL INTO THE 80S THIS AFTERNOON
AND HUMIDITY WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN HIGH. THIS COMBINATION WILL
ALLOW THE HEAT INDEX TO REACH THE LOW 90S IN MANY AREAS WITH SOME MID
90S IN THE HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS AROUND PHILADELPHIA. TEMPERATURES
WILL NOT BE AS WARM ALONG THE COAST OF NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE OR IN
THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA.

A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
EARLY TONIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL CAUSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY
PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL, DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTING AND
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED MOST OF
THE REGION UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

IF POSSIBLE, LIMIT YOUR TIME OUT OF DOORS DURING THE HEAT OF THE 
AFTERNOON. BE SURE TO CHECK ON YOUR ELDERLY NEIGHBORS AND RELATIVES. 
THE ELDERLY ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS.

USE EXTRA CARE IF YOU WILL BE OUT ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HEAVY RAIN MAY REDUCE YOUR VISIBILITY. BE SURE
NOT TO DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS, THE WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU
THINK IT IS. 

REMEMBER, IF THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH, SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY.

OVER THE WEEKEND, HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL BE MUCH LOWER AND TEMPERATURES
WILL NOT BE AS WARM AS TODAY.
