...THUNDERSTORMS WERE APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE WEST...

SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS FORMED AT MID AFTERNOON ALONG THE
SEABREEZE FRONT NEAR THE OCEAN IN NEW JERSEY AND ALSO IN DELAWARE.
STRONG STORMS EARLIER MOVED OVER ATLANTIC COUNTY AND OCEAN COUNTY
IN NEW JERSEY, AS WELL AS SUSSEX COUNTY DELAWARE. TREES WERE
DOWNED IN SOUTHERN SUSSEX COUNTY DELAWARE BETWEEN GUMBORO AND
SELBYVILLE DELAWARE.

HOWEVER, MORE THUNDERSTORMS WERE MOVING EASTWARD TOWARD THE
REGION AT 25 TO 30 MILES AN HOUR FROM CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA,
WESTERN MARYLAND, AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA. EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND
THE NORTHEAST MARYLAND SHORE WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE AFFECTED BY
ANY OF THESE STORMS BETWEEN 6:00 PM AND 6:30 PM, IF THEY MAINTAIN
THEIR IDENTITY.

REMEMBER, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH THAT IS IN
EFFECT UNTIL 11:00 PM, TORNADOES CAN OCCUR FROM SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. IN ADDITION, WITH ALL THE RECENT RAINS, TREES MAY
BE IN A WEAKENED CONDITION AND COULD BE BLOWN OVER WITH WINDS
WHICH ARE LESS THAN THOSE TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH DAMAGING
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

AREA RESIDENTS ARE URGED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE WEATHER LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT. STAY ALERT BY LISTENING TO NOAA
WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS.
