DorneyPark PA area help please?

[Maray]

I was hoping someone here could help.
We are supposed to be going to Dorney Park today.
Me,DH, My sons, DIL's and my two grandsons.
My sister,BIL and her daughter & granddaughter,my oldest son & family coming from Jersey and meeting us there.
WE are about an hour north of Allentown

It's very overcast here,forecasts now are saying scattered thunderstorms thruout day.
(it originally was was only supposed to be last nite and then again tonite.)
My sister says it's sunny in central jersey.

What is the weather like there and your forecast?
Any ideas for something else to do for us
in that area if we go and it does storm?
We'll be 10 adults, two 3 yr. olds and a six month old.

This was going to be my mini trial run with rides for my 3 1/2 yr old grandson.
Plus no cooking for Moms !

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
We planned to leave here by 11 and meet up by noon.
Everyone's calling me and asking should we still go?
I don't know what to do- I don't want to get caught in lightening with the babies.
Of, course this was all my idea in the first place


TIA, Marilyn

Hopefully you'll see this before heading to DP. I'm an hour south of DP and the forecast here is for the possibility of thunderstorms as the humidity is rising. The chance of storms is 30-40% throughout the day.

Special weather alert at weather.com for Allentown:

... SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED THE AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN THE SLIGHT RISK AREA, SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE LARGE HAIL, DAMAGING WINDS, AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. ANY THUNDERSTORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. REMAIN ALERT IF THUNDERSTORMS APPROACH YOUR AREA, AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY IF A WARNING IS ISSUED....

Thanks, Kris
It's sunny here up here now, we still have not made a decision.
I think we'll head to DP anyway since we've been telling the kids all week, maybe try to get some rides in
and get out of there if the skies get dark?
Probably head for a nice restaurant
Tho, that forecast is somewhat forboding.

Thanks for taking your time to get that info for me.
Hope YOU have a nice day.

Hugs, Marilyn
