...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE REGION THIS EVENING...

A strong cold front will cross the region this evening and move

off the coast after midnight. Scattered thunderstorms will

accompany the front with wind gusts to 40 mph, small pea sized

hail in a few spots, and heavy down pours. In addition, there will

be locally heavy rainfall. Any thunderstorm will contain

dangerous lightning.

Due to the rapid movement of the storms and strong wind aloft, it

is possible that an isolated thunderstorm could transport even

stronger wind to the surface, and in very localized spots could

produce wind damage and power outages.
