1130 PM EDT FRI AUG 23 1996

THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTH CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA THIS AFTERNOON.

THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WOULD COME

THUNDERSTORMS INLAND FROM THE LAKE FROM AROUND MEADVILLE IN NORTHWEST
PENNSYLVANIA TO YOUNGSTOWN AND CANTON AND MANSFIELD.

THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SOME SECTIONS TO SEE SEVERAL THUNDERSTORMS DURING
THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON. ANY THUNDERSTORM COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAINS
AND AREAS THAT HAVE MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS COULD SEE PONDING OF WATER
IN LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT AND THE THREAT OF
SEVERE WEATHER WILL END.
