...LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS APPROACHING THE AREA...

A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS CURRENTLY MOVING
THROUGH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. INDIVIDUAL STORMS ARE RACING
NORTHEAST VAT 70 MPH. THIS LINE IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE REGION
BETWEEN 4 PM AND 6 PM THIS AFTERNOON. THE GREATEST THREAT FOR
SEVERE WEATHER AT THIS TIME IS IN THE POCONOS AND SUSSEX COUNTY
NEW JERSEY.

A FRAGMENTED LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS TRYING TO
ORGANIZE FARTHER TO THE SOUTH IN THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. IF
THIS LINE CAN CONSOLIDATE, THEN THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WOULD
ALSO EXTEND INTO BERKS COUNTY, THE LEHIGH VALLEY AND THE REST OF
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY.

IF YOU SEE THREATENING WEATHER, PLEASE HEAD INDOORS IMMEDIATELY.
POSTPONE NON-ESSENTIAL DRIVING. WHILE THE HIGHEST WIND THREAT WILL
BE WITH THE LINE, HIGH WINDS COULD STILL OCCUR FOR A FEW HOURS
BEHIND THE LINE OF STORMS.
