...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS 
AFTERNOON AND SOME MAY BECOME SEVERE...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA HAS FORECAST A SLIGHT 
RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR OUR AREA FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT, 
INCLUDING EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW JERSEY, THE NORTHEAST MARYLAND 
SHORE, AND DELAWARE.  

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY TO THE COAST FROM EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA 
TODAY.  SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM IN 
THE VERY WARM, HUMID, AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT.  THE 
STORMS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA 
AND WILL SPREAD EAST AND SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. 
ITS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD FORM CLOSER TO THE 
COAST ALONG SEABREEZE BOUNDARIES THIS AFTERNOON. 

THE PRIMARY THREATS FROM THESE STORMS ARE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE 
HAIL. THUNDERSTORMS COULD FORM IN LINES AND CLUSTERS. IN ADDITION, 
DUE TO THE CHANGE OF WIND DIRECTION WITH HEIGHT, AN ISOLATED 
THUNDERSTORM OR TWO COULD PRODUCE A TORNADO, ESPECIALLY OVER THE 
LEHIGH VALLEY AND SOUTHERN POCONOS OF EAST-CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA, AS WELL AS OVER NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY.

ANY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE LOTS OF DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. 
AND, DUE TO THE INCREASING HUMIDITY OF THE ATMOSPHERE THROUGH A 
DEEP LAYER, SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN IN A SHORT 
PERIOD OF TIME, POSSIBLY AT THE RATE OF ONE OR TWO INCHES IN AN 
HOUR, CAUSING STREET AND HIGHWAY FLOODING AS WELL AS FLOODING ON 
SOME SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS.

MOVE INSIDE AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THREATENING WEATHER. THIS COULD BE 
AN ACTIVE DAY FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN PARTS OF OUR AREA.

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
