...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING, SOME
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED MOST OF THE REGION UNDER A
SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THIS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IS DUE TO A COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH
FROM THE WEST BETWEEN 3 PM AND 8 PM. THIS COLD FRONT, COMBINED
WITH WARMER AIR MOVING INTO AREAS FROM PHILADELPHIA SOUTHWARD,
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE THUNDERSTORMS. SINCE WINDS ALOFT ARE
STRONG, ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO FORM, COULD BRING SOME OF THESE
WINDS DOWN TO THE GROUND AND MAKE THEM SEVERE.

IF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DO FORM, AREAS WHERE TEMPERATURES GET
ABOVE 65 DEGREES WILL BE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. THIS MEANS AREAS
FROM PHILADELPHIA SOUTHWARD HAVE A GREATER THREAT THAN FARTHER
NORTH. ALSO, THE THREAT IS LOWER ALONG THE COAST SINCE IT IS
COLDER THERE, DUE TO WINDS FROM THE OCEAN.
