...SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON 
AND EVENING...

A WARM FRONT WILL TRACK NORTH THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. A 
COLD FRONT, ON THE HEELS OF THE WARM FRONT, WILL PUSH THROUGH 
TONIGHT. AS THESE FRONTS MOVE INTO THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR OVER 
THE REGION, SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO 
DEVELOP. 

LIKE THIS MORNING, THE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ARE 
EXPECTED TO PRODUCE HAIL, FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING, GUSTY 
WINDS, AND HEAVY RAIN. THE HEAVY RAIN COULD CAUSE WATER TO POND ON 
ROADS AND QUICKLY FILL ROADSIDE DITCHES AND SMALL STREAMS.

IF A THUNDERSTORM APPROACHES YOUR AREA, MOVE INDOORS TO PROTECT 
YOURSELF FROM LIGHTNING. IF YOU'RE ON THE ROAD AND ENCOUNTER 
FLOODING, TURN AROUND IF POSSIBLE. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS 
POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP YOUR VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD.

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF 
PENNSYLVANIA UNTIL 8 PM. PLEASE REFER TO THE WATCH COUNTY 
NOTIFICATION PRODUCT FOR THE SPECIFIC COUNTY LISTING. 

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF PENNSYLVANIA, NEW 
JERSEY, MARYLAND, AND DELAWARE UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. PLEASE REFER TO OUR 
FLOOD WATCH PRODUCT FOR THE SPECIFIC COUNTY LISTING. 

PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS IN CASE THE WATCHES 
ARE EXPANDED OR WARNINGS ARE ISSUED.
