   Areas affected...portions of eastern Pennsylvania into northwestern
   New Jersey and southern New York

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 233...

   Valid 062037Z - 062200Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 233
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Additional instances of damaging gusts and perhaps hail
   remain possible with the stronger storms. A tornado may still occur
   with storms ahead of a pre-frontal boundary.

   DISCUSSION...A primary arching band of strong thunderstorms persists
   ahead of a pseudo-dryline pre-frontal boundary across far eastern
   PA, with temperatures rising into the upper 70s F amid 10 degree F
   dewpoint decreases as the boundary passes. These pre-frontal storms
   have been the most organized so far, with multiple instances of
   low-level rotation detected and an apparent tornado reported in the
   past hour. The best chance for an additional tornado remains with
   these storms, along the PA/NJ/NY borders, before the ongoing storms
   move into a more stable airmass. Otherwise, strong wind gusts and
   perhaps hail may develop with the stronger storms to the west of the
   pre-frontal boundary.
