   Areas affected...southeast PA into NJ

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 375...

   Valid 222045Z - 222215Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 375
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Supercell thunderstorm risk increasing. Damaging winds,
   hail, and possibly a tornado could accompany this activity across
   far southeast Pennsylvania into southern New Jersey over the next
   1-2 hours.

   DISCUSSION...A supercell storm has developed across southeast PA
   this afternoon within a favorably sheared and unstable environment.
   Surface observations indicate potential outflow oriented west to
   east across the area from earlier storms. While the downstream
   airmass itself will support a severe risk, if this supercell can
   maintain organization and interact with this outflow boundary (where
   0-1 km SRH would be enhanced), an increasing risk for a tornado also
   could occur in addition to damaging wind and isolated hail. 

   An additional storm approaching northern DE also will be moving into
   a more favorable airmass supporting strong to damaging wind gusts
   over the next hour.
