...SWATHS OF HIGH IMPACT DAMAGING THUNDERSTORMS WITH FLASH FLOODING
EXPECTED LATER TODAY OR THIS EVENING...

THE PRIMARY LINES OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP IN NEAR 
90 DEGREE HEAT OVER EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA BETWEEN 1 PM AND 3 PM AND
THEN MOVE INTO THE INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR BETWEEN 4 PM AND 8 PM.

THESE STORMS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY WITH POTENTIAL
FOR MORE EXTENSIVE AND GREATER DAMAGE.

RAINFALL OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WITHIN ONE HOUR WOULD PROMOTE POCKETS OF
RENEWED FLASH FLOODING IN URBANIZED AREAS. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR MORE EXTENSIVE SMALL STREAM FLOODING THAN WHAT OCCURRED
YESTERDAY...ESPECIALLY IF STORMS REPEATEDLY ROLL THROUGH AN AREA
FOR 2 HOURS AND PRODUCE 4 TO 5 INCH AMOUNTS.

THOSE LIVING IN OR TRAVELING THROUGH EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND THE
INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR FROM NEW BRUNSWICK TO TRENTON...PHILADELPHIA
AND WILMINGTON INTO NORTHEAST MARYLAND SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR DANGEROUS
THUNDERSTORMS LATE TODAY. THESE STORMS WILL FORCE TRAVEL DELAYS IN
SOME AREAS AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE ROAD CLOSURES. 

POWER OUTAGES CAUSED BY LIGHTNING AND TREE DAMAGE COULD BE EXTENSIVE.

THE RISK FOR STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH AFTER 10 PM.

HAVE YOUR SAFETY PLAN IN MIND WHEN WARNINGS ARE ISSUED.
