...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 INCREASINGLY HUMID AIRMASS OVER THE REGION TODAY IS 
MAKING THE WEATHER FEEL MORE UNCOMFORTABLE THAN IN THE RECENT PAST.  
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 THIS AFTERNOON. THE ONLY AREA THAT
SHOULD ESCAPE THE WORST OF THE HEAT IS ALONG THE COAST.

SOME RELIEF TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED THIS EVENING AS 
THUNDERSTORMS JUST TO OUR WEST MOVE INTO EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW 
JERSEY, DELAWARE AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER 
HAS PLACED MUCH OF OUR AREA IN A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORMS. THIS MEANS THAT SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD 
PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS, AS 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, DON'T WORK OUTSIDE DURING 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.
