...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE 
TODAY, AND A FEW MAY BECOME SEVERE...

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

A FRONT THAT HAS BEEN STATIONARY IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA WILL 
INTERACT WITH THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BONNIE MOVING 
NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD TODAY. SCATTERED TO 
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM IN THE VERY WARM, HUMID, 
AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE.

THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS ARE DAMAGING WINDS. IN 
ADDITION, AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE.

ANY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE LOTS OF DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. 
AND, DUE TO THE HIGH HUMIDITY THROUGH A DEEP LAYER OF THE 
ATMOSPHERE, 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 OF 
CREEKS AND STREAMS.

MOVE INSIDE AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THREATENING WEATHER.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, YOUR LOCAL RADIO OR TELEVISION 
STATIONS OR YOUR CABLE TELEVISION OUTLET FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR 
UPDATES.
