...THUNDERSTORM THREAT REPLACED BY SUNSHINE AND HEAT...

A RELATIVELY RARE OCCURRENCE FOR THIS AUGUST WILL TAKE PLACE TODAY...

BRIGHT BLUE SKIES WILL COVER THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC AREA AND THAT BIG

ROUND YELLOW BALL IN THE SKY WILL ACTUALLY BE THE SUN. THE ABUNDANT

SUNSHINE WILL DRIVE TEMPERATURES TO AROUND 90 DEGREES OR SLIGHTLY

HIGHER...EXCEPT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND IN THE POCONOS WHERE

READINGS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES LOWER.

A SECOND DAY OF SUN AND HEAT WILL OCCUR FRIDAY...AND TEMPERATURES

MAY ACTUALLY BE A DEGREE OR TWO HIGHER THAN TODAY IN SOME LOCATIONS.

HEAT INDICES BOTH TODAY AND FRIDAY WILL RISE WELL INTO THE 90S IN

MOST AREAS. BE AWARE OF THESE HOT CONDITIONS AND LIMIT YOUR

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY.

A COLD FRONT DROPPING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL BRING SOME CLOUDS

IN FOR SATURDAY...ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND

THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY SHOULD BE

A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN TODAY AND FRIDAY...BUT COULD STILL REACH 90

DEGREES IN SOME SECTIONS FROM PHILADELPHIA SOUTH AND EAST BEFORE THE

SHOWERS MOVE IN.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH SUNDAY...ALLOWING SLIGHTLY COOLER

AIR TO MOVE IN AND BRING AN END TO OUR BRIEF HEATWAVE.
