Severe storms are expected to sweep through the Philadelphia area on Thursday, bringing with them the threat of flooding, intense winds, and even the possibility of tornadoes. This weather event will commence in the afternoon with the arrival of a strong cold front, effectively marking the end of the current heat wave that has seen temperatures soar close to 90 degrees. The warm atmosphere will serve as a catalyst for these storms.
According to the forecast, the timeline for the storm progression is as follows:
– **3 p.m.**: Storms will begin in the Lehigh Valley.
– **3 p.m. to 5 p.m.**: The storms will move towards Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs.
– **5 p.m. to 7 p.m.**: The storms will extend into northern Delaware, South Jersey, and the Jersey Shore.
– **7 p.m. to 9 p.m.**: Storm activity will dissipate as it exits into the Atlantic Ocean.
The most pressing issue accompanying these storms is the risk of flash flooding, with forecasts suggesting rainfall amounts could reach up to two inches in a short period of time. Additionally, wind damage and tornadoes cannot be ruled out, emphasizing the need for residents to stay alert and prepared.
