   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   downstream, with the resulting combination of instability and shear

   statute miles east and west of a line from 15 miles northwest of
   Trenton NJ to 45 miles south of Dover DE. For a complete depiction
   of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
   WOU0).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.
