Whether or not we get anything else strong is a bit in question but if we do see something pop up, there is at least a slight risk from the Storm Prediction Center today of storms that produce strong gusty winds. Hail wouldnt be out of the question. I dont think this is a real big issue for our immediate area but theres also even a slight risk of an isolated tornado. Again, i dont expect much popping this afternoon but if it does you want to take cover indoors on the low floors just in case.

The worst of our storms on Storm Tracker6 live double scan have moved to the east of philadelphia and are in south jersey. I have a concern about this one pushing up close to the Northeast Airport in areas like fishtown and bridesburg and bristol after that. This one is beginning to intensify a bit. Were seeing a bit more lightning than we saw in the last 15 minutes or so. From this one lightning and perhaps some fairly decent wind gusts of 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour out ahead of it. This one has already pushed trees down farther to the west earlier in its progression. Weve got that verified now.
