SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
837 AM EST SAT APR 5 2003

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY 
CONTAINING LARGE HAIL...THIS AFTERNOON...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA HAS PLACED 
DELAWARE...THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE...EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST 
PENNSYLVANIA...AND NEW JERSEY EXCEPT FOR THE FAR NORTHERN PART IN A 
SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATER TODAY. THE MAIN 
CONCERN IS FOR LARGE HAIL...ALTHOUGH STRONG WINDS CANNOT BE 
COMPLETELY RULED OUT FOR MAINLY SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF DELAWARE AND 
THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE. 

A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST HAD TRIGGERED THUNDERSTORMS 
OVER THE VIRGINIA APPALACHIANS EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE STORMS WERE 
EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST TOWARD OUR REGION LATE THIS MORNING INTO 
THIS AFTERNOON. OUR COOL AND STABLE LAYER OF AIR AT THE SURFACE WILL 
BE STUBBORN TO RECEDE...AND IT SHOULD SHELTER MOST OF OUR REGION 
FROM STRONG WINDS. HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE IS CONDUCIVE TO HAIL 
GENERATION.
