...HEAT, HUMIDITY AND SOME STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...

LOW PRESSURE LOCATED IN THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES MOVE NORTH OF OUR
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT, BRINGING A WEAK
COLD FRONT INTO OUR AREA. THIS FRONT, COMBINED WITH THE EXTREMELY
HUMID AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE, WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. IT APPEARS THE
GREATEST COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
TONIGHT WILL BE FROM THE PHILADELPHIA AREA NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
LEHIGH VALLEY TO THE POCONOS AND NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY.

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE CONDUCIVE FOR SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS
TO POTENTIALLY TURN SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT, WITH THE
PRIMARY THREATS BEING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. AN ISOLATED
TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE IN THE
ATMOSPHERE, SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE TORRENTIAL RAINFALL.
THIS COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS,
ROADS, AND LOW-LYING AREAS. REMEMBER, ANY THUNDERSTORM WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. MOVE INDOORS FOR THE BEST SAFETY WHEN
DEALING WITH THUNDERSTORMS AND LIGHTNING.

THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL CAUSE HEAT INDICES 
THIS AFTERNOON TO CLIMB INTO THE 90S AWAY FROM THE COAST AND HIGHER 
ELEVATIONS. HEAT INDICES IN URBANIZED SECTIONS OF THE LOWER DELAWARE 
VALLEY WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S FOR A TIME THIS AFTERNOON.

DURING THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY, CHECK ON THE ELDERLY, THE INFIRM,
AND THE VERY YOUNG, AS THEY ARE MOST VULNERABLE TO THE HEAT. WEAR
LOOSE FITTING AND LIGHT COLORED CLOTHING, DRINK PLENTY OF NON-
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, STAY OUT OF THE SUNSHINE AND AVOID STRENUOUS
ACTIVITY DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY.

MAKE SURE PETS AND ANIMALS HAVE A WELL-VENTILATED AND SHADY PLACE TO 
REST, AND BE SURE THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF COOL WATER.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS 
FOR UPDATES ON DEVELOPING WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
