...ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND LOCALLY HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY...

THE REMNANTS OF KATRINA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE WELL TO OUR NORTH 
TODAY. MEANWHILE, A COLD FRONT LOCATED WEST OF THE REGION THIS 
MORNING WILL MOVE EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON, AND CROSS THE AREA THIS 
EVENING. A TROPICAL AIRMASS CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA, AND WITH THE 
COLD FRONT APPROACHING, SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED 
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. THERE STILL IS A POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO OCCUR, ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON
AND EARLY IN THE EVENING. THIS IS PRIMARILY THE CASE FOR NORTHEASTERN
PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY WHERE EVEN AN ISOLATED TORNADO
CAN STILL NOT BE RULED OUT. ANY SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM TODAY WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

THE HEAVY DOWNPOURS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROPICAL AIRMASS OVER THE 
REGION, MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED STREET AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING. IF 
THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES YOUR AREA, SEEK SHELTER INDOORS 
IMMEDIATELY. REMEMBER, NEVER DRIVE ACROSS ROADS THAT ARE COVERED
BY WATER.

ALSO, TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON FOR MANY AREAS WILL TOP OUT AROUND
90 DEGREES. THESE TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH THE HUMID CONDITIONS,
MAINLY ACROSS THE URBANIZED AREAS IN AND AROUND PHILADELPHIA, WILL
CAUSE THE HEAT INDEX TO BRIEFLY APPROACH 100 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON.
DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS TODAY, AND BE SURE TO CHECK ON THE ELDERLY AND
VERY YOUNG.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOU LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLET FOR UPDATES THROUGH THE DAY.
