Summer makes a grand entrance



Remember longing for summer weather? Well, it's here.

The season, which officially begins Wednesday, is making a grand entrance, bringing scorching temperatures and high humidity.

An excessive heat warning will be in effect from 1 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Friday, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, N.J.
Temperatures will be in the mid-90s Wednesday but will feel more like 100 to 105 degrees with the increased humidity, said Accuweather meteorologist Carl Erickson in State College.
On Thursday, a high temperature of 100 degrees is forecast, but expect it to feel more like 110 degrees, Erickson said.
Average temperatures are usually in the mid-80s when summer rolls in, he added.
As the mercury rises, so will the number of people flocking to places throughout Lower Bucks looking for relief.
Neighborhood pools and senior centers are expecting a wave of folks escaping the heat.
