Heat Advisory issued May 18 at 2:10PM EDT until May 20 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Mount Holly NJ
* WHAT...Heat index values up to 98 expected.
* WHERE...Western Monmouth, Middlesex, Ocean, and Southeastern
Burlington Counties.
* WHEN...Until 8 PM EDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat
illnesses.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Record setting high temperatures are quite
possible through Wednesday, with maximum heat indices nearing 100
degrees during peak heating each afternoon. Given the intensity of
this early season stretch of heat and humidity, we are not
acclimated to it yet and therefore impacts could be greater if
precautions are not taken. Showers and some thunderstorms arrive
later Wednesday afternoon and evening which will break this early
season heat.
Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
