SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK 
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
500 AM EST SUN OCT 26 2003

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA HAS PUT ALL OF 
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTHERN POCONOS...ALL OF NEW 
JERSEY...ALL OF DELAWARE AND ALL OF THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE IN A 
SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE 
MAJOR THREAT. 

THE COMBINATION OF STRONG WINDS ALOFT...SIGNIFICANT WIND SHEAR IN 
THE LOWER LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...RELATIVELY WARM AND MOIST AIR 
NEAR THE SURFACE...AND AN ACTIVE FRONTAL SYSTEM COULD COMBINE TO 
GENERATE SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM AROUND LATE MORNING TO MID 
AFTERNOON IN THE SLIGHT RISK AREA. REMEMBER THAT A SEVERE 
THUNDERSTORM CAN ON RARE OCCASION SPAWN A TORNADO.

FOR THE SOUTHERN POCONOS...THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE 
POSSIBLE...BUT THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER IS LOWER.
