...HOT AND HUMID WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR TODAY AND MONDAY ACROSS
SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE AND
NORTHEAST MARYLAND...

A VERY WARM AIRMASS HAS MOVED OVER THE REGION. THE EFFECTS OF THIS 
AIRMASS WILL BECOME MORE NOTICEABLE THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN ON 
MONDAY AS SUNSHINE WARMS TEMPERATURES TO 90 OR A BIT ABOVE. 

ALONG WITH THE HOT TEMPERATURES COMES INCREASED HUMIDITY.

AT THE COAST, A SEABREEZE EACH AFTERNOON WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES 
COOLER THAN INLAND. ALSO, TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE QUITE AS WARM 
OVER NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY, ALTHOUGH 
AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL STILL BE WELL INTO THE 80S.

SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST HOT AND HUMID WEATHER OF THE SEASON,
LETS REVIEW SOME TIPS ON HOW TO STAY COOL FROM THE VERY WARM WEATHER.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND WEAR LIGHT WEIGHT, LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING 
AND A HAT. TRY TO GET OUTDOOR WORK COMPLETED DURING THE MORNING,
TO AVOID THE WARMEST PART OF THE DAY. TRY TO COOL DOWN IN AN AIR 
CONDITIONED BUILDING IF AVAILABLE, OR SEEK REST IN THE SHADE. PLEASE 
CHECK ON THE ELDERLY BECAUSE THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN WEATHER WILL HAVE 
THE GREATEST EFFECT ON THEM. REMEMBER TO MAKE SURE PETS HAVE A COOL 
PLACE TO REST, AND HAVE PLENTY OF CLEAN WATER TO DRINK.

WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE POCONOS AND 
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ON MONDAY, THE HOT 
TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE COULD ALLOW MORE 
WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING 
HOURS. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE, MAINLY NORTH 
OF PHILADELPHIA.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE EXPECTED HOT AND HUMID 
WEATHER.
