...A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND 
EVENING...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA HAS PLACED THE
NORTHERN MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE, ALL OF DELAWARE, EAST CENTRAL AND 
SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, AND ALL BUT FAR NORTHERN NEW JERSEY IN A 
SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATER TODAY.  DAMAGING 
THUNDERSTORM WINDS ARE THE MAIN THREAT.  HEAVY DOWNPOURS CAUSING 
LOCALIZED FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE.  DANGEROUS CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING
IS ALWAYS A THREAT WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM. 

LOCALIZED RAINFALL RATES OF AN INCH OR TWO AN HOUR ARE POSSIBLE WITH 
SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS.  THE HEAVY RAIN WILL LIKELY RESULT IN 
FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE AND ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND 
CREEKS.  IF YOU LIVE IN A LOCATION THAT IS PRONE TO FLOODING BE SURE 
TO MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.

A COLD FRONT DROPPING INTO NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND FAR 
NORTHERN NEW JERSEY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IS LIKELY TO COMBINE 
WITH MOIST, UNSTABLE AIR TO GENERATE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS, AND A 
FEW MAY BE SEVERE.  THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST DURING 
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED.
