...VERY WARM AND HUMID WEATHER WILL GIVE WAY TO THUNDERSTORMS THIS 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING - SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME 
SEVERE...

A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO BE OVER THE REGION
TODAY. IN ADDITION, THE HUMIDITY WILL BE HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY,
MAKING IT FEEL EVEN MORE UNCOMFORTABLE. THE HEAT INDEX IN MOST AREAS
SHOULD EXCEED 90. HOWEVER, IN PHILADELPHIA, A HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN
ISSUED BECAUSE THE HEAT INDEX WILL APPROACH 100 IN THE CITY. THE ONLY
AREA THAT SHOULD NOT SEE THE HEAT IS ALONG THE COAST.

SOME RELIEF TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED THIS EVENING AS
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOVING THROUGH EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW
JERSEY, DELAWARE AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER
HAS PLACED OUR AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THIS
MEANS THAT SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD HAVE DAMAGING WINDS AND
WELL AS TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

IF THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH, SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY.

HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL TIPS ON HOW TO ALLEVIATE THE EFFECTS OF THE
VERY WARM 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. 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.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS FOR ADDITIONAL UPDATES.
