DELMARVA --
After an active 24 hours, Delmarva is not completely out of the woods when it comes to severe weather.
Isolated thunderstorms may redevelop this afternoon through the early evening as a cold front approaches the peninsula. Most locations will not see severe weather, but any stronger storms could produce damaging wind gusts, frequent lightning and heavy rain. An isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out. Best chance for severe storms would be across southern portions of the peninsula.
The greatest risk for stronger storms will be across southern Delmarva, where higher instability and stronger wind shear are expected. A Flood Watch remains in effect until 6 p.m. for Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset and Accomack counties. Rainfall totals on the order of half an inch to over and inch. With some locally higher amounts possible.
