Severe thunderstorms with strong winds and lightning moved through the area Saturday afternoon into the evening.

A FIRST ALERT was in effect for the Philadelphia area but expired at 10 p.m.

“Although I'm not expecting widespread severe weather, there will likely be some stronger storms,” NBC10 First Alert Weather meteorologist Bill Henley wrote. “The main threats are damaging wind and hail, which is what we are already seeing in Lancaster County. There's also a chance of an isolated tornado, though this threat is much lower than it was three weeks ago.” 

Severe storms began moving through Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, around 4 p.m. and severe thunderstorm warnings were issued for Bucks, Northampton, Berks and Lehigh counties in Pennsylvania as well as parts of Delaware. 

The line of showers and thunderstorms then moved into the Philadelphia area around 6 p.m. and continued through the evening before moving out. We'll see plenty of sunshine over the next few days.
