...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FOR URBANIZED PORTIONS OF THE 
DELAWARE VALLEY ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS UPGRADED THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH 
TO A WARNING. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MEANS THAT OPPRESSIVE 
HEAT-RELATED CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR 
HOURS.

WITH MORE SUN EXPECTED ON MONDAY, TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB FIVE TO 
ALMOST TEN DEGREES HIGHER THAN WHAT MOST OF THE REGION EXPERIENCED 
ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE EVEN WARMER 
ON TUESDAY. AT NIGHT, TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY DROP INTO THE MID 70S 
AND OFFER LITTLE SHORT TERM RELIEF.
 
WHEN COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S, HEAT INDICES 
EACH DAY WILL BE AROUND 100 DEGREES IN THE URBANIZED AREAS OF THE 
DELAWARE VALLEY.
  
DURING PERIODS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY, PLAN TO SPEND AS 
LITTLE TIME AS POSSIBLE OUT OF DOORS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE HEAT OF 
THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
  
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE HEAT MAY RESULT IN HEAT EXHAUSTION OR HEAT 
STROKE. BE SURE TO CHECK ON THE ELDERLY AND VERY YOUNG. THEY ARE 
MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. 

FINALLY, PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR PETS THAT YOU KEEP OUTSIDE. THE MOST 
HUMANE THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM INDOORS. AT A MINIMUM, PROVIDE 
THEM WITH PLENTY OF COOL WATER AND ACCESS TO A SHADED AND WELL 
VENTILATED AREA.

RELIEF IS IN SIGHT. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO PASS THROUGH THE 
REGION ON TUESDAY NIGHT.
