426 AM EDT SAT JUN 25 2005

...SULTRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND ACROSS EASTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE, AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND...

A BERMUDA HIGH OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL CAUSE A RETURN OF HEAT 
AND HUMIDITY TO THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES OVER THE 
WEEKEND WILL BE NEAR 90 OR IN THE LOWER 90S AWAY FROM THE HIGHER 
ELEVATIONS, THE OCEAN AND THE BAYS. THE TEMPERATURES WILL COMBINE 
WITH ELEVATED DEWPOINTS TO GENERATE HEAT INDICES THAT WILL BE AROUND 
THE MID 90S DURING THE WARMEST PART OF THE DAY. HEAT INDICES MAY 
CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 90S DURING THE PEAK HEATING TIME OF THE DAY IN 
URBAN LOCATIONS, ESPECIALLY IN CENTER CITY PHILADELPHIA. 

WHEN GOING OUTDOORS IN THE HEAT AND SUN, WEAR LIGHT COLORED AND 
LOOSE CLOTHING, 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. 

IF YOU MUST WORK OUTSIDE IN THE HEAT, TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS IN THE 
SHADE. DRINK PLENTY OF NON ALCOHOLIC, NON CAFFEINATED BEVERAGES. TRY 
TO GET YOUR WORK DONE IN THE MORNING IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. 

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL WHO IS UNDER YOUR CARE 
ALONE IN A VEHICLE FOR ANY REASON OR FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME DURING 
THE DAY. THIS EASILY CAN RESULT IN FATAL CONSEQUENCES. 

FINALLY, IF YOU MUST KEEP YOUR PETS OUTSIDE, BE SURE THEY HAVE 
ACCESS TO A WELL VENTILATED AND SHADY AREA, AND MAKE CERTAIN THAT 
THEY HAVE AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF COOL WATER. THE MOST HUMANE THING TO 
DO DURING HOT WEATHER IS TO BRING YOUR PETS INTO AN AIR CONDITIONED 
ENVIRONMENT. 

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL AT LEAST INTO EARLY 
NEXT WEEK. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS FOR THE 
LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
