SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
530 AM EDT SUN APR 28 2002

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

ALTHOUGH RAIN COVERED THE MID ATLANTIC REGION OVERNIGHT...IT WILL 
TAPER OFF DURING THE DAY AS A WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE 
DELMARVA EARLY THIS MORNING AND THEN THROUGH EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA 
AND NEW JERSEY. 

WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR WILL SPREAD IN BEHIND THE WARM FRONT... 
AND THE AIRMASS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE...ESPECIALLY IF WE 
SEE SOME SUN. A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST LATE IN THE DAY 
COULD SET OFF THUNDERSTORMS...AND BECAUSE OF THE INSTABILITY AND 
STRONG WINDS ALOFT...ANY STORMS THAT FORM MAY BECOME SEVERE WITH  
DAMAGING WINDS. 

THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS TO BE SOUTH OF 
INTERSTATE 78...ALTHOUGH THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STORM 
PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA HAS INDICATED THERE IS AT LEAST 
A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATER TODAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE 
REGION. 

IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR THIS AFTERNOON OR 
EVENING...KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY AND AN EAR TO THE WEATHER RADIO... 
TO LISTEN FOR FURTHER STATEMENTS AS WELL AS ANY WATCHES OR WARNINGS 
WHICH MIGHT BE ISSUED.
