SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
445 AM EDT MON OCT 13 2003

...A STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED LATE TUESDAY AND MAY BE 
ACCOMPANIED BY SEVERE WEATHER...

IF INDICATIONS FROM TODAY'S COMPUTER MODELS ARE CORRECT, A STRONG 
COLD FRONT IS LIKELY TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATE TUESDAY OR, MORE 
LIKELY, TUESDAY EVENING. STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS, 
AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS, ARE LIKELY TO PASS THROUGH THE REGION 
AS THE FRONT MOVES BY TO THE EAST.

ALTHOUGH NO TWO WEATHER SITUATIONS ARE THE SAME, THE PREVIOUS COLD 
FRONT THAT WAS SIMILAR IN NATURE IN LATE SEPTEMBER CAUSED SCATTERED 
SEVERE WEATHER TO OCCUR IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND CENTRAL NEW 
JERSEY. WHILE THERE IS NO CERTAINTY THAT A REPEAT WILL OCCUR, AREA 
RESIDENTS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THESE STRONG COLD FRONTS IN THE 
AUTUMN AND SPRING TRANSITION SEASONS OFTEN PRODUCE LOCALLY STRONG OR 
SPOTTY SEVERE WEATHER. SUCH COULD BE THE CASE TUESDAY EVENING 
RESULTING IN TREES DOWN AND SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES ACROSS THE 
REGION. STRONG DAMAGING WINDS USUALLY OCCUR SHORTLY AFTER THE ONSET 
OF VERY HEAVY RAIN. 

THE NORTHWEST TO WEST WINDS, BEHIND THE FRONT, WILL CONTINUE GUSTY 
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY SOMETIMES REACHING SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 
30 MPH OR MORE.  

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 
AT WWW.NWS.NOAA.GOV/ER/PHI IN SMALL LETTERS.
