...GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGHOUT THE AREA...
...SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND DELMARVA...

A COLD FRONT HAS STALLED ACROSS THE REGION. A SECOND COLD FRONT 
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATER TODAY. THIS FRONT WILL BE 
ASSISTED BY A VIGOROUS UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE IN THE OHIO VALLEY. 

THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO SHOULD GIVE US THE MOST WIDESPREAD 
PRECIPITATION OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE IT WILL 
BE VERY COLD ALOFT AND A JET STREAM WILL BE PRESENT...MOISTURE AGAIN 
WILL BE A LIMITING FACTOR. ACROSS MOST OF OUR REGION BECAUSE OF THE 
LIMITED MOISTURE...WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE 30 AND 40 MPH 
DURING STRONGER SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS. ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHERN 
NEW JERSEY AND THE DELMARVA PENINSULA THERE MIGHT BE SUFFICIENT 
MOISTURE FOR A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME EVEN STRONGER AND 
POSSIBLY SEVERE. THUS THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA 
HAS PLACED THESE AREAS IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS 
LATER TODAY.

PERSONS WITH OUTDOOR PLANS LATER TODAY ARE ADVISED TO KEEP ALERT FOR 
THREATENING WEATHER AND HAVE A PLACE OF SHELTER TO GO IN THE EVENT IT
OCCURS. PLEASE SECURE AS BEST YOU CAN ANY OUTDOOR ITEMS 
THAT COULD BE EASILY TOSSED BY GUSTY WINDS. MARINERS ARE ESPECIALLY 
ADVISED TO GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO REACH SHELTER BEFORE THE 
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVE. WIND GUSTS MIGHT EVEN OCCUR WITH 
JUST SHOWERS...SO PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE DISTANT LIGHTNING 
TO HEAD FOR SHORE.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLET FOR 
FURTHER UPDATES.
