...VERY WARM AND HUMID THROUGH THE FOURTH, AND A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE FIFTH...

A STALLED FRONT TO OUR NORTHWEST AND A CONTINUED FLOW OF VERY WARM
AND HUMID AIR INTO THE REGION WILL COMBINE TO CAUSE DAYTIME HEAT
INDICES TO RISE INTO THE 90S OVER MOST LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE
COAST AND THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS BOTH TODAY AND ON INDEPENDENCE
DAY. OVER URBANIZED PORTIONS OF THE DELAWARE VALLEY, HEAT INDICES
ARE EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE MID 90S. 

MEANWHILE, A SERIES OF MID LEVEL TROFS WILL RIDE ALONG THE STALLED
FRONT AND CAUSE PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS. AS OF EARLY THIS
MORNING, THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA HAD LEFT
OUR AREA OUT OF THE SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR TODAY. MORE
ORGANIZED, POSSIBLY SEVERE, THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY PRESENTLY IS
EXPECTED ON THE FOURTH AND AGAIN ON THE FIFTH. PLEASE PAY
ATTENTION TO SUBSEQUENT STATEMENTS IN THE EVENT THAT ANY OF THIS
CHANGES.

WITH RESPECT TO THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY, WEAR LIGHT WEIGHT CLOTHING
AND DRINK PLENTY OF NON-CAFFEINATED AND NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
MAKE SURE THE ELDERLY, THE YOUNG AND THE INFIRM ARE KEPT AS COOL
AS POSSIBLE. TRY TO SCHEDULE THE MOST STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES DURING
THE COOLEST PART OF THE DAY.

DO NOT FORGET YOUR PETS. AT A MINIMUM, THEY REQUIRE PLENTY OF COOL
WATER AND A SHADED AND WELL VENTILATED PLACE TO REST. THE MOST
HUMANE THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM INTO AN AIR CONDITIONED
ENVIRONMENT.
