Weather update from the NWS....

A severe thunderstorm risk continues into this evening for areas mainly north of Philadelphia. The Heat Advisory is expected to expire on time at 8 PM tonight, then Saturday will be much less humid and not as hot.

Here are new key messages for the severe thunderstorm potential on Sunday afternoon and evening...
Some severe thunderstorms are possible Sunday afternoon and evening, with damaging straight-line winds the primary severe weather threat.

The coverage and timing of thunderstorms will depend on the arrival time of a cold front, and how quickly the air mass recovers from drying out on Saturday.

If thunderstorms can organize and become stronger, then the wind threat would locally increase.
