SIGN UP A ferocious and quick-moving line of storms will move through our neighborhoods between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. The First Alert comes after some thick morning fog in some neighborhoods.
The timing shifted overnight with showers and storms first expected to reach Berks County and the Lehigh Valley by mid-morning, but in Philadelphia, Delaware and South Jersey, it may hold off until late morning or midday.
The storms aren't expect to last long but they will be impactful.
These storms should produce gusty downpours, which may lead to downed trees and power outages.
Pockets of hail and an isolated tornado are also possible for the entire region.
Into the afternoon, expect an isolated shower or storm. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect through at least 5 p.m.
Not everyone will see rain the entire time, but the risk for stronger storms lasts until late afternoon. Some storms could then move in again Friday night.
