...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY TONIGHT FOR PARTS OF OUR AREA...

...VERY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON...

AFTER THE MORNING LOW CLOUDS AND FOG AT MANY LOCATIONS, TEMPERATURES 
ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB WELL INTO THE 80S THIS AFTERNOON UNDER PARTLY 
SUNNY SKIES, AND IT WILL REMAIN QUITE HUMID. THIS COMBINATION WILL 
ALLOW THE HEAT INDEX TO REACH THE LOW 90S IN MANY AREAS WITH SOME 
MID 90S IN THE HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS IN AND AROUND PHILADELPHIA. 
TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE AS WARM ALONG THE COAST OF NEW JERSEY AND 
DELAWARE, OR IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND 
NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY.

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS 
AFTERNOON, AND PASS THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT. THIS FRONT WILL 
CAUSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT. SOME OF THESE STORMS, ESPECIALLY 
AWAY FROM THE OCEAN, MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL, DANGEROUS 
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTING, AND LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN. THE STORM 
PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED PARTS OF OUR REGION UNDER A SLIGHT RISK 
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, INCLUDING NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY, EASTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA, NORTHERN DELAWARE AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND.

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. 

REMEMBER, IF THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH, SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY.

TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL BE MUCH LOWER DURING THE 
WEEKEND AS A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS MOVES OVER THE AREA.
