...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY 
THIS EVENING...

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...AND SETTLE
SOUTH OF THE AREA THIS EVENING. A DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS 
PENNSYLVANIA WILL TRACK EAST SOUTHEASTWARD TODAY. THIS WILL ACT UPON 
THE WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS THAT REMAINS IN PLACE OUT AHEAD OF THE 
COLD FRONT. AS A RESULT...SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE 
ANTICIPATED THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. 

A FEW STORMS COULD TURN SEVERE AND PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND 
HAIL...ALONG WITH FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. ANY 
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 
HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS 
SHOULD BE FROM ABOUT THE PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA SOUTHWARD.

IF THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES YOUR LOCATION...SEEK SHELTER 
IMMEDIATELY. WHILE OUTDOORS...KEEP AN EYE TO THE WESTERN SKY AND
ALLOW YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO REACH A SAFE LOCATION IF THUNDERSTORMS
APPROACH YOUR AREA. 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.
