...HOT AND VERY HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR FRIDAY...

...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY 
EVENING...

ON FRIDAY, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO NEAR 90 DEGREES 
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, DELAWARE 
AND EASTERN MARYLAND, AND HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL REMAIN HIGH.  HEAT 
INDEX VALUES ARE FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 90S 
DURING THE AFTERNOON. 

IT SHOULD BE A LITTLE COOLER IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE POCONO 
REGION AND NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY WHERE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES ARE 
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES 
AROUND 90.

IF POSSIBLE, LIMIT YOUR TIME OUT OF DOORS DURING THE HEAT OF THE 
AFTERNOON ON FRIDAY.  BE SURE TO CHECK ON YOUR ELDERLY NEIGHBORS AND 
RELATIVES.  THE ELDERLY ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT RELATED HEALTH 
PROBLEMS.

AT THE JERSEY SHORE AND THE DELAWARE BEACHES A SEA BREEZE WILL 
LIKELY DEVELOP ON FRIDAY AND IT SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM 
EXCEEDING THE LOWER 80S ALONG THE COAST.

A STRONG COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST ON FRIDAY 
AFTERNOON.  THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BRING THUNDERSTORMS TO OUR 
REGION ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY EVENING.  THE THUNDERSTORMS 
MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS, LARGE HAIL, DANGEROUS 
CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND HEAVY RAIN.  THE HEAVY RAIN COULD 
RESULT IN FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL STREAMS 
AND CREEKS.

USE EXTRA CARE IF YOU WILL BE OUT ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY 
AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY EVENING.  HEAVY RAIN MAY REDUCE YOUR 
VISIBILITY.  BE SURE NOT TO DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS, THE WATER 
MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK IT IS.

THE COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY 
NIGHT.  LESS HUMID AIR IS EXPECTED TO BUILD DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST 
BEHIND THE FRONT AND IT PROMISES TO BRING A DRY HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
