...POTENIAL FOR A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME SEVERE...

THE TEMPERATURES TODAY ARE GOING TO CLIMB TO ABOUT 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL OR IN THE 80S, AND THE HUMIDITY WILL ALSO BE ON THE RISE. THIS COMBINATION WILL CAUSE THE ATMOSPHERE TO BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE, OR FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

WHILE THINGS HEAT UP IN THE LOWER PART OF THE ATMOSPHERE, AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL SWING OUT OF THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND TURN SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE REGION. BY THIS AFTERNOON, SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN POCONOS AND THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE FARTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST, WITH SOME OF THE SHOWERS BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

WITH HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES IN FULL SWING TODAY, YOU ARE ASKED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE WEATHER ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON IF YOU ARE CAMPING, BOATING ON SMALLER STREAMS OR JUST ENJOYING THE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.

NOT ALL AREAS WILL EXPERIENCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS, BUT WHERE THEY DEVELOP BRIEF DAMAGING WINDS AND CONTINUOUS LIGHTNING WILL OCCUR.
