...WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO 
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS TONIGHT...

A SLOW MOVING WEATHER SYSTEM MOVING EASTWARD FROM THE APPALACHIANS 
WILL AFFECT THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...AS THE 
AIRMASS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT BECOMES INCREASINGLY HUMID AND 
UNSTABLE. SHOWERS AND STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 
ISOLATED OR SCATTERED LATER THIS AFTERNOON, MAINLY WELL INLAND FROM 
THE COAST, BUT BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THROUGHOUT THE REGION TONIGHT. 
THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY NIGHTTIME PERIOD, WHEN THE EFFECTS OF 
SOLAR HEATING ARE MOST IMPORTANT, WILL BE THE PRIME TIME FOR STRONG 
THUNDERSTORMS.

THE GROWING MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE AIR COULD LEAD TO HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS ESPECIALLY TONIGHT, WHICH MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING. 
RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD REACH BETWEEN 2 AND 3 INCHES IN SOME SPOTS. 
IF YOU LIVE NEAR SMALL STREAMS OR CREEKS, CHECK THE FORECAST 
PERIODICALLY TODAY IN THE EVENT FLOODING OCCURS.

WATCH FOR ADDITIONAL SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY INTO 
EARLY THURSDAY NIGHT...AS THE MAIN COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA 
THURSDAY EVENING.
