345 AM EST FRI JAN 14 2005

A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST HAD GENERATED A LINE OF
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WELL IN ADVANCE OF ITSELF EARLY
THIS MORNING. WINDS AHEAD OF THE LINE WERE GUSTING TO 35 TO 45 MPH.
THE LINE WAS FROM NEAR MOUNT POCONO AND ALLENTOWN TO NEAR POTTSTOWN
AND OXFORD IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, AND IT EXTENDED DOWN TO NEAR PORT
DEPOSIT IN NORTHEAST MARYLAND AT 345 AM. 

THE LINE IS FORECAST TO MOVE TO NEAR THE DELAWARE RIVER AND ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE AT ABOUT 
500 AM, AND THEN CROSS NEW JERSEY AND THE REMAINDER OF THE DELMARVA
BY AROUND 730 AM. THE LINE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO STRENGTHEN SOMEWHAT
AS IT MOVES EAST, ESPECIALLY BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY OVER THE DELMARVA. 
SOME TREES AND POWER LINES COULD SNAP. 

ALONG WITH THE WIND WILL COME RAIN. SOME OF THE RAIN WILL BE HEAVY
AND SATURATE THE GROUND, AND A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, THE FAR NORTHERN PORTION OF THE DELMARVA
PENINSULA AND NORTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF NEW JERSEY.
