Harshmore: Lower Merion Face a Week of 90-Plus Heat

This week's National Weather Service forecast just goes from bad to worse: 93, 92, 92, 95, 99, 97, 98.

Those are the high temperatures predicted for Monday through Sunday in the Ardmore-Merion-Wynnewood area.

Monday night's forecast features an even chance of rain and thunder after about 8 p.m., and Tuesday and Wednesday are supposed to have slight storm potential, too, but nothing to cool us off significantly.

Meanwhile, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission has issued a Code Orange air qualituy alert for the Philadelphia region.

A Hazardous Weather Outlook is in effect for the week, thanks to the storm clouds rolling in early and the near-triple-digit heat approaching in a few days.

For information about how to be safe in a heat wave, contact the Montgomery County Health Department or Lower Merion Township.
