SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
400 AM EDT SUN JUN 29 2003


...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE TODAY...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA HAS PLACED THE 
POCONOS AND SUSSEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATER TODAY. THE MAIN THREATS ARE DAMAGING WINDS 
AND LARGE HAIL. AN ORGANIZED SQUALL LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER WESTERN NEW YORK AND 
PENNSYLVANIA AND MOVE EASTWARD. THIS LINE MAY MAKE IT INTO  
NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY BEFORE 
WEAKENING BELOW SEVERE LIMITS THIS EVENING.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE REGION...AN INCREASINGLY MORE HUMID AIR MASS 
COMBINED WITH THE STRONG JULY SUN SHOULD TRIGGER SCATTERED SHOWERS 
AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. LIKE THE 
STORMS WE EXPERIENCED LAST FRIDAY...A COUPLE OF THEM MIGHT ALSO 
REACH SEVERE LIMITS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY 
THREATS. THIS COULD OCCUR ANYWHERE INLAND LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND 
EARLY THIS EVENING. 

ALL THUNDERSTORMS CONTAIN LIGHTNING AND SHOULD BE RESPECTED. 
REMEMBER LIGHTNING KILLS MORE PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES ON 
AVERAGE THAN EITHER TORNADOES OR THE DAMAGING WINDS FROM SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORMS. 

IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR TODAY...PLEASE SEEK 
SHELTER WITH THE FIRST SIGN OF THREATENING WEATHER. 

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED LATER TODAY.

THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT FARTHER SOUTH 
ON MONDAY AS THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER OUTLOOK FOR SEVERE WEATHER 
FAVORS LOCATIONS FROM THE PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA SOUTHWARD 
INTO THE DELMARVA PENINSULA.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...YOUR LOCAL RADIO OR TELEVISION
STATIONS...OR YOUR CABLE TELEVISION OUTLET FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR
UPDATES. ADDITIONAL WEATHER INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET
