SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
945 AM EDT FRI JUL 18 2003

...A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE THIS 
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...

...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT...

A COLD FRONT ARRIVING FROM THE NORTH WILL PRODUCE SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION. THE ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE 
CONCENTRATED ACROSS NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...INCLUDING THE 
POCONOS AND INTO NORTHERN NEW JERSEY THROUGH EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON. 
GRADUALLY THIS ACTIVITY WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD DURING THE AFTERNOON 
WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED. ACROSS 
SOUTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...AND INTO 
DELAWARE AND NORTHEAST MARYLAND...THE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE MAINLY 
SCATTERED IN NATURE THIS AFTERNOON.

WHILE WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS 
TIME...A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY STRONG WIND GUSTS 
AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. THE BEST CHANCE OF THIS OCCURRENCE SHOULD BE 
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...NORTHEAST MARYLAND AND INTO DELAWARE 
WHERE MORE SUNSHINE WILL OCCUR. SMALL HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH ANY 
STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS.

WITH INCREASING LEVELS OF MOISTURE OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD 
FRONT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN CAN OCCUR WITH SOME OF THE SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS. THIS COULD RESULT IN SOME FLOODING CONCERNS IN A FEW 
SPOTS...ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

IF YOU OBSERVE THREATENING WEATHER, SEEK SHELTER AT ONCE. REMAIN 
INDOORS UNTIL THE THREATENING WEATHER HAS COMPLETELY EXITED YOUR 
AREA. REMEMBER...DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS A ROAD WHICH IS COVERED BY 
WATER. THE WATER CAN BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK.
