...UNSEASONABLY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON...

HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE TO CIRCULATE
A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL
TOP OUT NEAR 90 DEGREES IN MANY AREAS, AND THIS COUPLED WITH HIGH
HUMIDITY WILL CAUSE IT TO FEEL UNSEASONABLY HOT AND HUMID THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

IF SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS THIS AFTERNOON, KEEP HYDRATED BY DRINKING
PLENTY OF WATER AND DRESS IS LIGHT WEIGHT LIGHT COLORED CLOTHES.
TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS IN THE SHADE AND IF POSSIBLE, SEEK A BUILDING
WHICH IS AIR CONDITIONED. ALSO, MAKE SURE PETS ARE KEPT INDOORS AND
ARE PROVIDED WITH PLENTY OF WATER.

WITH THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY IN PLACE, LITTLE RELIEF CAN BE EXPECTED
AS ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE ISOLATED THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

IF TEMPERATURES HIT 90 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON AT THE PHILADELPHIA
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, IT WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON.
