...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ADVANCING FROM THE WEST...

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR SHOWED THAT SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WERE APPROACHING THE CHESAPEAKE BAY FROM THE WEST AT
810 PM. THEY ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE BAY AND INTO THE
EASTERN SHORE BETWEEN 845 PM AND 930 PM. THEY THEN SHOULD MOVE
INTO DELAWARE AND EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA BETWEEN 915 PM
AND 1015 PM.

ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE LINE, BUT THE LINE
ITSELF WAS PRODUCING BRIEF, HEAVY DOWNPOURS THAT REDUCED
VISIBILITIES TO BELOW ONE HALF MILE, SOME WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF
35 MPH AND SOME DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

THE COMBINATION OF THE WINDS AND THE RESULTING REDUCED
VISIBILITIES AND PONDING OF WATER FROM THE LINE WILL MAKE DRIVING
DIFFICULT WHEN IT PASSES. PLEASE SLOW DOWN OR PULL OVER IF YOU
DRIVE INTO IT.
