SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1050 AM EDT TUE AUG 26 2003

...A FEW STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS 
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...

A SLOW MOVING WARM FRONT WILL MIGRATE NORTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON. THIS 
FRONT SEPARATES WARM AND VERY HUMID AIR TO ITS SOUTH...FROM COOLER 
AND LESS HUMID AIR TO THE NORTH. A FEW DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ALONG 
THIS FRONT THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.

AS THE AIRMASS HEATS UP THIS AFTERNOON...IT WILL BECOME 
INCREASINGLY MORE UNSTABLE WHICH WILL SUPPORT SCATTERED SHOWER AND 
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. A FEW STORMS COULD PRODUCE A DAMAGING WIND 
GUST AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. IF A THUNDERSTORM DOES 
TURN SEVERE...THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS WILL BE LATER THIS AFTERNOON 
AND INTO THE EVENING. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE 
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES YOUR LOCATION...SEEK SHELTER 
IMMEDIATELY. MARINERS AND BATHERS ARE ADVISED TO KEEP AN EYE TO THE 
WESTERN SKY AND GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO REACH SAFE SHELTER. IF 
TRAVELING...BE PREPARED FOR SOME LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS THIS 
AFTERNOON AND SLOW DOWN AS VISIBILITIES CAN BE GREATLY REDUCED IN 
DOWNPOURS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR FURTHER 
STATEMENTS AND ANY POSSIBLE WARNINGS.
