...SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED THE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK OF 
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. 

A COLD FRONT WILL GRADUALLY SETTLE SOUTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON AND 
EVENING. AS THE ATMOSPHERE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS FRONT CONTINUES 
TO WARM THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY, ENOUGH INSTABILITY IS 
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TO PROMOTE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. 
AT THIS TIME, THE BEST SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IS FROM THE 
PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA SOUTHWARD. LOCATIONS NORTH OF THE 
PHILADELPHIA METROPOLITAN AREA SHOULD BE LESS UNSTABLE AS THE FRONT 
WILL CLEAR THESE REGIONS FIRST. WHILE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL 
POSSIBLE IN THESE LOCATIONS, THEY SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS.

IN THE SLIGHT RISK AREA, SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE 
LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS, AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. 
ANY THUNDERSTORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY 
RAINFALL. REMAIN ALERT IF THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH YOUR AREA, AND BE 
PREPARED TO TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY IF A WARNING IS ISSUED. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER 
DETAILS OR UPDATES ON THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL.
