Damaging winds and even an isolated tornado can't be ruled out Thursday afternoon and evening.

The severe weather threat came this afternoon and evening after rain fell during the morning and into early afternoon. You could see some clearing at points during the day ahead of the worst line of storms during the evening.

Damaging winds are the most likely threat. Wind gusts could top out around 60 mph.

Already have your Halloween decorations out? Outdoor decorations need to be secured and be sure to bring in empty trash cans. Also, watch out for tree limbs and branches that could come down.

All the wet weather should be gone overnight, leading to clear skies for a big weekend of sports with the Phillies playing the Braves in the NLDS and Eagles playing the rival Dallas Cowboys.

Go Phillies and go Birds!
