...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IN EFFECT FRIDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR THE URBANIZED PORTIONS OF THE DELAWARE
VALLEY ON FRIDAY.

AFTER A BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE HUMIDITY, IT WILL RETURN TO THE REGION
ON FRIDAY.  HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOW TO MID
90S AND DEWPOINTS MAY REACH THE LOWER 70S.  THE COMBINATION OF THE
TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL GENERATE HEAT
INDICES OF AROUND OR SLIGHTLY OVER 100 OVER THE URBANIZED PORTIONS OF
THE WARNING AREA. SUCH CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE HEAT STRESS AND HEAT
EXHAUSTION WITH PROLONGED EXPOSURE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND THEY
COULD THREATEN THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE
HEAT. 
  
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. IF YOU MUST BE OUTDOORS FOR ANY
LENGTH OF TIME, WEAR LOOSE FITTING AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING AND
KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED WITH NON-ALCOHOLIC, NON-CAFFEINATED BEVERAGES.
TAKE REGULAR BREAKS IN THE SHADE IF YOU ARE ENGAGED IN PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY. 

BE SURE TO CHECK ON THE ELDERLY, THE INFIRM, AND THE VERY YOUNG. THEY
ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. IF YOU ARE
TRANSPORTING ANYONE IN AN AUTOMOBILE, DO NOT LEAVE THEM UNATTENDED IN
THE VEHICLE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN FATAL
CONSEQUENCES. 

SOME ADDITIONAL RELIEF IS IN SIGHT THANKS TO AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT.
 THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION LATE FRIDAY BRINGING A
DROP IN TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY FOR THE WEEKEND.
