Tornado warnings as severe storms hit
Multiple tornado warnings were issued late Friday morning, with one issued at 11:33 a.m. for areas around the Main Line in the Pennsylvania suburbs west of Philadelphia.
That tornado warning expired at noon but the threat of severe weather still remained with severe thunderstorm warnings and the potential for wind damage looming throughout the area.
The latest tornado warning was in effect for parts of Burlington and Ocean counties in New Jersey around 1 p.m., but it expired at 1:30 p.m. That line of storms produced "a severe squall line capable of producing both tornadoes and extensive straight line wind damage," the National Weather Service said.
If you are areas under a tornado warning, seek shelter and get away from windows ASAP. If you don't have a basement, hunker down inside an interior bathroom.
Just before 11 a.m., a tornado warning was also issued for parts of Lancaster County, just to the west of Pennsylvania's Chester County. That warning later expired.
Around 11:10 a.m., a tornado warning was issued for parts of Chester and Berks counties, including Honey Brook, Elverson and Morgantown. The warning expired at 11:45 a.m.
Severe thunderstorm warnings
Severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect across the area midday Friday. Straight-line winds are a threat from these storms, according to the National Weather Service.
By 1:15 p.m., much of the Jersey Shore was under a severe thunderstorm warning that went for about an hour.
Storms were impacting air traffic at Philadelphia International Airport, and a ground stop is impacting flights as the severe thunderstorms come through.
NBC10's cameras caught the severe weather rolling into the city late in the morning on Friday.
