...HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND ACROSS
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 TODAY
REACHED INTO THE MID 80S TODAY WITH LOW HUMIDITY, BUT TEMPERATURES
OVER THE WEEKEND WILL BE 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.

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 INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES LOWER THAN
OVER THE WEEKEND. 

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