A CLUSTER OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WESTERN 
PHILADELPHIA SUBURBS AND PARTS OF NORTHERN DELMARVA BETWEEN NOON AND 
2 PM. IT WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN BERKS AND CHESTER COUNTY FIRST. THESE 
STORMS DID PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS IN THE WESTERN HALF 
OF PENNSYLVANIA. SINCE THEN THEY HAVE WEAKENED SOMEWHAT. THE AIR 
MASS ACROSS THE REGION REMAINS UNSTABLE AND THESE STORMS HAVE THE 
POTENTIAL TO INTENSIFY. EVEN WITHOUT INTENSIFICATION THIS CLUSTER 
COULD PRODUCE WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH...SMALL HAIL...FREQUENT DANGEROUS 
LIGHTNING AND RAINFALL RATES OF TWO INCHES PER HOUR.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR FURTHER
