...ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND 
EVENING...

A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS REMAINS ACROSS THE REGION. THE ATMOSPHERE 
WILL BECOME UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO 
DEVELOP A LITTLE LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON, AND CONTINUE THIS EVENING. 
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO BECOMES STRONG 
WITH GUSTY WINDS. AT THIS TIME, THE GREATEST THREAT FOR STRONG 
THUNDERSTORMS IS ACROSS THE POCONOS WHERE THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS MAY 
HELP TO FOCUS THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

DUE TO THE ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE ALONG WITH A SLOW
MOVEMENT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS, LOCALLY TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS WILL
OCCUR WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM. RAINFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR
ARE POSSIBLE, AND THIS CAN CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING OF POOR 
DRAINAGE AND LOW LYING AREAS. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLET FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
