A strong cold front will cross the region this Overnight and move off the coast by Morning, Scattered thunderstorms will accompany the front with wind gusts to 40 mph, small pea-sized

hail in a few spots and heavy downpours. In addition, there will be locally heavy rainfall. Any thunderstorm will contain dangerous lightning.

Due to the rapid movement of the storms and strong wind aloft, it is possible that an isolated thunderstorm could transport even stronger wind to the surface, and in very localized spots could produce wind damage and power outages.
