   ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST US THIS
   AFTERNOON...
   
   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
   DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST
   US THIS AFTERNOON.
   
   THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
   
          MUCH OF CONNECTICUT
          WESTERN AND CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS
          SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE
          NORTHERN NEW JERSEY
          SOUTHEAST NEW YORK
          MUCH OF PENNSYLVANIA
          SOUTHERN VERMONT
   
   ELSEWHERE...SEVERE STORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE
   APPALACHIANS REGION...AND WESTWARD ACROSS THE MIDWEST/OHIO VALLEY.
   
   A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS DEVELOPING ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST
   THIS AFTERNOON...TO THE SOUTHEAST OF AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT.  WITH
   THE FRONT PROVIDING FOCUS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD
   STORMS...AND WITH MODERATELY-STRONG DEEP-LAYER WESTERLY WINDS
   ALOFT...STORMS SHOULD BECOME QUITE VIGOROUS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
   HOURS -- LIKELY ORGANIZING INTO ONE OR MORE BOWING LINES. 
   THEREFORE...EXPECT WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS TO OCCUR ACROSS THIS
   REGION.  IN ADDITION...LOCAL OCCURRENCES OF VERY LARGE HAIL ARE
   EXPECTED...ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A COUPLE OF BRIEF
   TORNADOES.  WHILE INDIVIDUAL STORMS/STORM CLUSTERS MOVE GENERALLY
   EASTWARD...EXPECT THE OVERALL THREAT AREA TO SHIFT QUICKLY
   SOUTHEASTWARD WITH TIME AS THE COLD FRONT ADVANCES...WITH STORMS
   VACATING NEW ENGLAND AND SHIFTING SOUTH OF THE MASON/DIXON LINE
   THROUGH THE EVENING.
   
   STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGERS ARE MONITORING THIS DEVELOPING
   SITUATION. THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE
   WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA
   WEATHER RADIO FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER
   TODAY.
