...TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...HEAT INDICES 
REACHING INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S...

THE OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF THE WEEK WILL NOT BE 
REPEATED WITH A DISCOMFORT INDEX FAR LESS TODAY THAN ON TUESDAY.
HOWEVER IT IS STILL GOING TO BE HOT EVEN THOUGH A COOL FRONT PASSED
OFFSHORE OVERNIGHT. THE FRONT WAS ABLE TO SWEEP THE VERY OPPRESSIVE
AIRMASS OFFSHORE LOWERING THE DEW POINTS TO THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S
TODAY.   

NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BECOME SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AGAIN
THURSDAY AS THE BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE REESTABLISHES ITSELF.
THIS WIND DIRECTION WILL BRING HIGHER DEWPOINTS BACK INTO THE AREA
AND COMBINED WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 90S, IT WILL BEGIN TO FEEL MORE
HUMID.   

ANOTHER COOL FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE OFFSHORE LATE FRIDAY AND 
WILL BRING DRIER AIR AND LOWER TEMPERATURES AS WELL. IN THE 
MEANTIME, CONTINUE TO TAKE IT SLOW, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER, STAY IN 
CONTACT WITH ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS WHO LIVE ALONE.
GOOD COMMON SENSE PRACTICES SHOULD NOT ONLY BE PRACTICED DURING THE
DAY, BUT ALSO AT NIGHT WHEN THERE IS LESS VENTILATION, AND FEWER
PLACES TO GO AND FIND A COOL SETTING.
 
MORE RELIEF IS IN SIGHT BY THE WEEKEND AS A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
CROSS THE REGION LATER FRIDAY BRINGING A NOTICEABLE DROP IN BOTH THE
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY.
