...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL AND
VERY HEAVY RAIN ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED A LARGE PORTION OF THE
REGION UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM
ANY STORMS, BUT LARGE HAIL AND LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE. THE AREA THAT WILL SEE THE HIGHEST POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE
WEATHER WILL BE EXTREME SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY AND THE DELMARVA
REGION, THOUGH ALL AREAS IN THE SLIGHT RISK AREA COULD SEE SOME
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

HUMID CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY IN ADVANCE A COLD
FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH A PORTION OF THE REGION, BEFORE
STALLING. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE ALONG THIS FRONT.
THE COMBINATION OF THE WARMTH AND HUMIDITY, THE COLD FRONT, AND
THE SURFACE LOW WILL ALL BRING THE CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
TO THE REGION.

ALSO, DUE TO THE VERY HUMID AIRMASS, THERE WILL BE SOME HEAVY
DOWNPOURS THAT MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING OF ROADS, POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS, AS WELL AS, SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA AS WELL, PLEASE
REFER TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH STATEMENT FOR DETAILS.

ANY THUNDERSTORM, WHETHER SEVERE OR NOT, IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
DANGEROUS CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING. WHEN A THUNDERSTORM
APPROACHES, SEEK SHELTER INDOORS IMMEDIATELY TO PROTECT YOURSELF
FROM LIGHTNING.

PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR LOCAL MEDIA
OUTLETS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND ANY WATCHES AND/OR WARNINGS
THAT MAY BE ISSUED.
