SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
425 PM EDT MON OCT 13 2003

...A POTENT COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AND COULD 
BE ACCOMPANIED BY SEVERE WEATHER...

...STRONG GUSTY WINDS WEDNESDAY BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM...


A POWERFUL COLD FRONT AND STORM SYSTEM WILL AFFECT THE ENTIRE 
REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO 
ORGANIZE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS TONIGHT, THEN 
INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD OUR AREA TUESDAY 
AFTERNOON. AS THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND 
TUESDAY NIGHT, A POTENT COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE ENTIRE 
REGION.

AHEAD OF AND WITH THE COLD FRONT, STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND SOME HEAVY 
RAIN, AND EVEN A FEW THUNDERSTORMS, ARE LIKELY TO PASS THROUGH THE 
REGION. WITH THE STRONG GUSTY WINDS ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT, THE 
DOWNING OF SOME TREES, ALONG WITH SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES, IS 
POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE REGION. IN CASES LIKE THIS, THE 
STRONG DAMAGING WINDS USUALLY OCCUR SHORTLY AFTER THE ONSET OF HEAVY 
RAIN.

AREA RESIDENTS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THESE POTENT COLD FRONTS IN THE 
AUTUMN AND SPRING TRANSITION SEASONS OFTEN PRODUCE LOCALLY STRONG OR 
SPOTTY SEVERE WEATHER. 

BEHIND THE FRONT, GUSTY WINDS FROM THE WEST AND NORTHWEST ARE 
EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW INTENSIFIES OVER EASTERN CANADA. AT 
THIS TIME, WINDS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE SUSTAINED AROUND 30 MPH, WITH 
GUSTS AROUND 45 MPH. AS A RESULT, A HIGH WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED 
FOR WEDNESDAY.

FOR FURTHER DETAILS AND UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER 
SITUATION, STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS.
