...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE EARLY 
EVENING...

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION INTO 
THE EARLY EVENING. THIS DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE INTO A WARM AIRMASS,
ALTHOUGH THE MOISTURE AT THE SURFACE IS NOT REAL HIGH. HOWEVER, WITH
A LARGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT TEMPERATURE
AT THE SURFACE, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE BRIEF GUSTY 
WINDS. WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH HAVE ALREADY BEEN OBSERVED ACROSS 
CENTRAL MARYLAND THIS AFTERNOON.

ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF NEW JERSEY, SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA 
AND THE DELMARVA, THERE MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE MOISTURE FOR A COUPLE 
OF THUNDERSTORMS TO POSSIBLY TURN SEVERE. THUS, THE STORM PREDICTION 
CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA CONTINUES THESE AREAS IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR 
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

THOSE WITH OUTDOOR PLANS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ARE ADVISED TO 
KEEP ALERT FOR THREATENING WEATHER, AND SEEK SHELTER INDOORS IN THE 
EVENT GUSTY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVE IN. SECURE ANY OUTDOOR 
ITEMS THAT COULD BE EASILY BLOWN AROUND BY GUSTY WINDS. MARINERS ARE 
ESPECIALLY ADVISED TO LEAVE ENOUGH TIME TO REACH SAFE SHELTER BEFORE 
THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVE. 

GUSTY WINDS MIGHT EVEN OCCUR WITH JUST SHOWERS, SO PLEASE DO NOT 
WAIT UNTIL DISTANT LIGHTNING IS SEEN, OR THUNDER IS HEARD TO HEAD 
FOR A SAFE PLACE.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA 
OUTLETS FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON ANY THREATENING WEATHER.
