...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON TO 8 PM EDT FRIDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS ISSUED A HEAT
ADVISORY. IT IS IN EFFECT FROM NOON UNTIL 800 PM ON FRIDAY.

* LOCATION...THE PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA.

* HEAT INDEX VALUES...NEAR 100 DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
  EVENING HOURS ON FRIDAY.

* IMPACTS...THE CUMULATIVE EFFECTS OF THE HEAT ARE A DANGER TO
  EVERYONE. THE ELDERLY, THE INFIRM AND THE VERY YOUNG ARE MOST
  SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT-RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS.

* OUTLOOK...EVEN WITH SOME CLOUD COVER AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
  THUNDERSTORMS, HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE FORECAST TO RISE INTO THE
  MIDDLE AND UPPER 90S DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
  HOURS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. IF THE EXPECTED CONDITIONS CHANGE
  SLIGHTLY AND FORECAST TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY VALUES ARE
  INCREASED, AN EXTENSION TO THE HEAT ADVISORY OR AN EXCESSIVE
  HEAT WARNING MAY BECOME NECESSARY FOR AT LEAST PART OF THE
  WEEKEND.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES
AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. BE SURE TO
DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS, STAY IN AN AIR CONDITIONED LOCATION, STAY
OUT OF THE SUN AND CHECK ON ELDERLY RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. DO
NOT LEAVE A PERSON OR A PET IN A PARKED VEHICLE.

TAKE EXTRA PRECAUTIONS IF YOU WORK OR SPEND TIME OUTSIDE. WHEN
POSSIBLE, RESCHEDULE STRENUOUS ACTIVITY TO THE EARLY MORNING OR
LATE EVENING. KNOW THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION AND
HEAT STROKE. WEAR LIGHT WEIGHT AND LOOSE FITTING CLOTHING.

TO REDUCE YOUR RISK WHEN PERFORMING OUTDOOR WORK, THE
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS
SCHEDULING FREQUENT REST BREAKS IN A SHADED OR AIR CONDITIONED
LOCATION. ANYONE OVERCOME BY HEAT SHOULD BE MOVED TO A COOL SHADED
LOCATION. HEAT STROKE IS AN EMERGENCY - CALL 9 1 1.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR PETS HAVE ACCESS TO PLENTY OF COOL
WATER AND A SHADED WELL VENTILATED PLACE TO REST. THE MOST HUMANE
THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM INTO AN AIR CONDITIONED LOCATION.
