...HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO
8 PM EDT THIS EVENING...
...EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...

A HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 8 PM
EDT THIS EVENING. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM
SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY EVENING. 

AFTER A MUGGY NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES HOVERING NEAR 80 DEGREES...
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL RISE INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S WITH THE
HIGHEST TEMPERATURES OVER THE HIGHLY URBANIZED PORTIONS OF THE
LOWER DELAWARE VALLEY. HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE FORECAST TO BE A BIT 
LOWER THAN FRIDAY...BUT EVEN SO TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN HOT WITH
HEAT INDICES REACHING THE UPPER 90S. THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF THE
ONGOING HEAT IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS WILL EXACERBATE THE DISCOMFORT.

FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EASTWARD AND A
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL RETURN. THIS WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN
HUMIDITY ONCE AGAIN. TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO REACH THE LOW TO
MID 90S AGAIN. WITH MORE HUMIDITY...HEAT INDICES WILL REACH THE
UPPER 90S AND PERHAPS NEAR 100. THEREFORE...AN EXCESSIVE HEAT
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. A COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA MONDAY AND DROP TEMPERATURES
SLIGHTLY BY TUESDAY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS
EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY
WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE
POSSIBLE.

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH MEANS THAT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF HOT
TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND
HIGH HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO POSSIBLY CREATE A DANGEROUS
SITUATION.

DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY
OUT OF THE SUN AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. THE
ELDERLY...THE VERY YOUNG AND THE INFIRM ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO
THE HEAT.

AT A MINIMUM...PLEASE BE SURE THAT PETS HAVE ACCESS TO A SHADED
AND WELL-VENTILATED AREA AND PLENTY OF COOL WATER. THE MOST HUMANE
THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM INTO AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM.

NEVER LEAVE ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL IN A PARKED VEHICLE FOR ANY
LENGTH OF TIME. DEATH CAN OCCUR IN MINUTES.
