...HEAT ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ HAS ISSUED A HEAT
ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

A HOT AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE OUR WEATHER TODAY. WINDS WILL
ALSO BE MOVE SOUTHWEST AND THEN SOUTHERLY ALLOWING INCREASED HUMIDITY
TO SPREAD OVER THE REGION. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE
LOWER 90S TODAY AND WHEN COMBINED WITH THE HIGHER HUMIDITY, THE HEAT
INDEX IS FORECAST TO APPROACH 100. 

SOME RELIEF TO THE HOT TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED THIS EVENING AS
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION. SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD HAVE DAMAGING WINDS AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS.

ON TUESDAY, TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN BE QUITE WARM WITH HIGHS NEAR 90.
HOWEVER, THE HUMIDITY SHOULD NOT BE AS OPPRESSIVE AS TODAY.

CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC AILMENTS ARE USUALLY
THE FIRST TO SUFFER FROM THE HEAT. HEAT EXHAUSTION, CRAMPS, OR IN
EXTREME CASES HEAT STROKE CAN RESULT FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE
CONDITIONS. FRIENDS, RELATIVES, OR NEIGHBORS SHOULD CHECK ON PEOPLE
WHO MAY BE AT RISK.

HERE ARE SOME OTHER HELPFUL TIPS ON HOW TO ALLEVIATE THE EFFECTS OF
THE HOT WEATHER.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND WEAR LIGHT WEIGHT, LIGHT COLORED AND LOOSE 
FITTED CLOTHING. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, TRY TO GET OUTDOOR WORK 
COMPLETED DURING THE MORNING, TO AVOID THE WARMEST PART OF THE DAY. 
KEEP COOL BY SEEKING AN AIR CONDITIONED BUILDING IF AVAILABLE, OR 
SEEK REST IN THE SHADE.
