From One Type Of Watch To Another

Our constant barrage of Flood and Severe Thunderstorm Watches from last week has transitioned over to Excessive Heat Watches this week. The areas affected are the counties between and around Philly to Trenton. Temperatures over the next few days will be in the lower 90's and the humidity values will make temps feel like 100 degrees. The three H's are back.....Hazy, Hot and Humid! Enjoy!
