PREVIOUS AFD...

AT 330 THE FRONT HAD MADE ITS WAY ABOUT AS FAR SOUTH AS A RARITAN
BAY-FLEMINGTON-BETHLEHEM LINE.  TEMPS WERE ONLY IN THE 60S IN OUR
NORTHERN COUNTIES AND NEAR 90 IN THE SOUTH.  OTHER THEN SOME SHOWERS
RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT, THERE WAS NO PRECIP IN OUR FORECAST AREA.

MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WAS TO OUR SOUTHWEST IN THE WASHINGTON DC AREA
AND IN POINTS WEST AND SOUTHWEST.  THAT CONVECTION IS MOVING TO THE
EAST.  AS A RESULT, THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER IN OUR
FORECAST AREA IS IN OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES.  THOSE COUNTIES ARE
PRESENTLY UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH THAT IS IN EFFECT UNTIL
900 PM.

NOT MUCH WAS CHANGED IN THE REST OF THE FORECAST.  WE REMOVED THE
MENTION OF PRECIP FROM THE MONDAY FORECAST WITH NO SIGNIFICANT
TRIGGER EXPECTED AT THAT TIME.

THE ZONE FORECASTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED.

.PHI...NONE.
