...HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE WEEKEND OVER 
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE, AND NORTHEASTERN 
MARYLAND...

A SOUTHWEST FLOW OF AIR AT THE SURFACE, AND STRENGTHENING HIGH 
PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE, WILL COMBINE TO CAUSE A RETURN OF 
HEAT AND HUMIDITY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE 
WELL INTO THE 80S TODAY, BUT EVEN HOTTER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR 
SATURDAY, WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER AND MID 90S EXPECTED 
AWAY FROM THE OCEAN AND BAYS. TEMPERATURES COULD BE A COUPLE OF 
DEGREES LOWER SUNDAY, BUT IT WILL REMAIN HOT AND HUMID. THE HEAT 
INDEX MAY RISE TO NEAR 100 FOR AN HOUR OR TWO SATURDAY AFTERNOON, 
ESPECIALLY AT URBAN LOCATIONS, AND PARTICULARLY IN AND NEAR 
PHILADELPHIA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER NEAR THE WATER, AND OVER 
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE POCONOS AND FAR NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY.

LIMIT OUTDOOR ACTIVITY IF POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOTTEST 
PART OF THE DAY, FROM NOON TO AROUND 7:00 PM.

WHEN GOING OUTDOORS IN THE HEAT AND SUN, WEAR LIGHT COLORED AND 
LOOSE CLOTHING, AS WELL AS A HAT AND SUNBLOCK. BE SURE TO CHECK ON 
ELDERLY RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS, AS THE ELDERLY AND INFIRM ARE MOST 
SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS. ALSO, ENSURE THAT 
OUTDOOR PETS HAVE SHADE AND PLENTY OF WATER. NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN OR 
PETS IN A CLOSED VEHICLE.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL AT LEAST FOR 
EARLY NEXT WEEK, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES LESS HOT 
THAN OVER THE WEEKEND. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS FOR THE LATEST WEATHER 
INFORMATION.
