...REMAINING WARM AND HUMID OVER THE HOLIDAY, WITH AN INCREASING
THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUESDAY, TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY...

THE WEATHER HAS BEEN IDEAL FROM A RECREATIONAL STANDPOINT, WITH 
LOWER TEMPERATURES IN THE MOUNTAINS AND AT THE SHORE. BUT IN THE 
MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS, TEMPERATURES HAVE REACHED NEAR 90 DEGREES 
AND THE HUMIDITY ON THE RISE. 

WARM SOUTHWEST WINDS COMPLIMENTS OF HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE COAST, AND 
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT TO OUR NORTHWEST WILL KEEP THE AREA WARM 
AND HUMID WITH AN INCREASING THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS LATER TUESDAY, 
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AND A BETTER CHANCE ON WEDNESDAY.  

AS A RESULT, THE ENTIRE REGION IS IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORMS BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THE STORMS WILL ALSO BE 
ACCOMPANIED BY DOWNPOURS AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
SOME OF THE RAIN IS GOING TO BE HEAVY WITH FLOODING LIKELY IN AREAS 
OF POOR DRAINAGE. AND THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT SOME SMALLER 
CREEKS AND STREAMS MAY FLOOD ESPECIALLY AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH 
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  

TUESDAY WILL BE THE HOTTEST DAY WITH THE COMBINATION OF THE HUMIDITY 
AND TEMPERATURES MAKING IT FEEL LIKE THE MID 90S IN THE MAJOR 
METROPOLITAN AREAS. ON WEDNESDAY THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE LOWER BUT 
THE HUMIDITY MUCH HIGHER WITH THE MOISTURE ADDED TO THE ATMOSPHERE
FROM THE THUNDERSTORMS. THE REAL RELIEF WILL COME ON THURSDAY AS
TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT DROP INTO THE 70S NORTH AND AT THE
SHORE AND LOW TO MID 80S ELSEWHERE WITH LOWERING HUMIDITY.
 
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.
