A First Alert for severe storms is in effect from 3 until 9 p.m. on Monday for all neighborhoods.
The severe storm threat for our area has increased.
Severe thunderstorms this afternoon could produce damaging wind and downpours leading to localized flooding.
Isolated tornadoes are also possible.
Showers are moving into the suburbs this morning and starting to weaken. But, on Monday afternoon, showers and thunderstorms currently in northwestern Pennsylvania will carve into the hot and humid conditions in our area, producing the severe storm threat.
The storms will appear first in areas to the northwest, Berks County, Lehigh Valley, and the western suburbs.
The main window of concern for Philadelphia is 4 to 8 p.m., but we could still see some stronger storms in Delaware and South Jersey between 8 and 9 p.m. this evening.
Though the chance of storms is back tomorrow, the severe threat looks lower for Tuesday afternoon.
And, we’ll finally get a break from the storms on Wednesday along with a break from afternoon temperatures in the 90s.
Looking at partly sunny skies and a high of 88° Wednesday.
