An Extreme Heat Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service out of Mount Holly, New Jersey, signaling a dangerous heat event for the area.
The warning took effect at 1:40 PM EDT on Thursday, July 3rd and is set to expire at 8:00 PM EDT on Friday, July 4th — meaning the dangerous conditions are expected to continue through much of the Independence Day holiday.
Residents should take steps to protect themselves from the extreme heat, including staying indoors in air-conditioned spaces, drinking plenty of water, and checking on elderly neighbors and relatives. Pets should not be left in vehicles, and outdoor activities should be limited during the hottest parts of the day.
