SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA

POCONOS AND SUSSEX COUNTY NEW JERSEY. IF THE STORMS MAINTAIN
THEMSELVES, THEY ARE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND THE

OVER THE REST OF THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND AND OVER DELAWARE,
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALSO REMAIN POSSIBLE. 

IF THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH...SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. ALSO, DO NOT
DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED ROADWAY...THE WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU
THINK.
