...WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 40 TO 60 MPH MAY OCCUR BETWEEN 2 AM AND 6
AM MONDAY AS A POSSIBLE SQUALL LINE MOVES THROUGH THE REGION...

A SQUALL LINE REACHING THE WEST VIRGINIA AND PENNSYLVANIA BORDER 
SHOULD CROSS OUR AREA EARLY MONDAY MORNING WITH SHOWER ASSOCIATED
GUSTS BRIEFLY EXCEEDING 40 MPH. A FEW POCKETS OF DAMAGING WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE WHICH WOULD INCLUDE DOWNED TREES AND POWER OUTAGES AND ISOLATED
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
 
THE SQUALL LINE...EVEN IN ITS DECAYING STATE...SHOULD BE CROSSING
EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND EASTERN MARYLAND BETWEEN 2 AM AND 4 AM
AND THEN CUT ACROSS NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE STARTING AROUND 330
AM AND EXIT THE COAST BY 6 AM.

WHILE WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH CAN OCCUR THROUGHOUT OUR FORECAST AREA,
THE HIGHER CHANCES FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE FROM AROUND THE
INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR NORTHWESTWARD.

IF THIS SQUALL LINE CONTINUES TO CAUSE WIND DAMAGE AS IT
APPROACHES OUR AREA...A SEVERE CONVECTIVE WATCH AND CONVECTIVE
RELATED WARNINGS WOULD BE ISSUED OVERNIGHT.

THUNDER WILL NOT NECESSARILY AND IN ALL LIKELIHOOD NOT ACCOMPANY
ANY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. DO NOT WAIT TO SEE LIGHTNING BEFORE
RESPONDING TO CONVECTIVE RELATED WARNINGS.

BE PREPARED FOR THE LIKELIHOOD OF STRONG WIND GUSTS... SPOTTY POWER
OUTAGES...TREE AND ISOLATED PROPERTY DAMAGE. IF DAMAGE
OCCURS...THIS COULD MEAN SOME ROADWAYS MAY BE CLOSED DURING THE
START OF THE MORNING COMMUTE.
