...HEAT INDEX TO REACH IN THE MID AND UPPER 90S ON WEDNESDAY...

THERE IS A THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE DAY AND
EVENING HOURS ALSO ON WEDNESDAY.

THE SUMMER OF 2006 HAS NOT BEEN ONE OF FREQUENT HEAT WAVES, OR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY. HOWEVER, ON 
WEDNESDAY THE COMBINATION OF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT
FEEL LIKE THE MID AND UPPER 90S BUT ONLY FOR A FEW HOURS IN THE
AFTERNOON. 

WHILE THE TEMPERATURE ON WEDNESDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH INTO THE
90S, THE DEW POINTS WILL CLIMB TO THE MID 70S. THIS COMBINATION
WILL CREATE THE UNCOMFORTABLE HEAT INDEX. SINCE THIS IS GOING TO
BE SHORT-LIVED, A HEAT ADVISORY OR WARNING WILL NOT BE ISSUED, BUT
CARE SHOULD NEVERTHELESS BE TAKEN FOR THOSE FEW HOURS TOMORROW. WE
HAVE NOT HAD MANY HOT DAYS TO ACCLIMATE US TO THE HEAT AND
HUMIDITY SO IT WILL SEEM A LITTLE WORSE THAN NORMAL. BUT, JUST
SLOW DOWN AND TAKE PLENTY OF WATER.

ONCE THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO BUILD UP, SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE IN THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME VERY UNSTABLE AND
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF VERY STRONG STORMS ACCOMPANIED BY
DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. LATER ON WEDNESDAY,
HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY
BUT AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THE HEAVIEST WILL REMAIN NORTH OF OUR 
REGION.
