...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STRONG AND POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS 
ARE EXPECTED MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, HAS INDICATED THAT 
A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER EXISTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY 
TONIGHT ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN AND EAST-CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA, NEW 
JERSEY, DELAWARE, AND NORTHEASTERN MARYLAND. 

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS 
AFTERNOON AND MOVE SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT 
AND EARLY MONDAY. THIS FRONT WILL ACT TO LIFT AIR AT LOWER LEVELS IN 
THE ATMOSPHERE, AND THE VERY HOT AND VERY HUMID AIR NEAR THE GROUND 
WILL RISE BUOYANTLY TO PRODUCE SOME THUNDERSTORMS, MAINLY THIS 
AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE ISOLATED, OR 
EVEN GATHER INTO CLUSTERS OR SHORT LINES. THUNDERSTORMS MAY FORM 
FIRST OVER AREAS WELL NORTH AND WEST OF PHILADELPHIA EARLY THIS 
AFTERNOON.

ANY THUNDERSTORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE 
WINDS, LARGE HAIL, AND OF COURSE DANGEROUS LIGHTNING. WITH SUCH A 
HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE, TORRENTIAL RAINS ARE LIKELY WITH ANY 
THUNDERSTORMS AND THIS COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED POOR DRAINAGE 
FLOODING, AS WELL AS ROAD AND HIGHWAY FLOODING. KEEP ALERT FOR ANY 
WEATHER CHANGES THIS AFTERNOON.

FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, MOVE INDOORS WHEN YOU FIRST SEE LIGHTNING OR HEAR 
THUNDER.

STAY TUNED FOR ADDITIONAL WEATHER STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
