TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND CAN REACH BETWEEN 95F TO 100F DEGREES WITH HEAT INDEX WELL OVER 100F DEGREES.

IT SHOULD ALSO BE RE-ENFORCED ABOUT NOT LEAVING CHILDREN AND PETS IN HOT VEHICLES.

ALSO EACH DAY WITH THE HEAT WAVE THERE WILL BE THE RISK OF AN ISOLATED RAIN SHOWER AND OR THUNDERSTORM WHICH WILL BRING ONLY BRIEF RELIEF WHERE THEY OCCUR. MAIN THREAT WITH ANY OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL AND DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES.

REMEMBER THE DEFINITION OF A HEAT WAVE IS THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES OF 90 DEGREES OR ABOVE THIS HEAT WAVE IS EXPECTED TO LAST FROM 5 TO 7 DAYS.

PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL OFFICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IF YOU SHOULD NEED TO TAKE SHELTER AT A COOLING CENTER OR CALL NJ-211
