NEXT Weather: Tornado warnings expire for Philadelphia, MontCo

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A tornado warning has expired for Philadelphia and Montgomery counties.

The tornado warning is part of one active weather day across the region.

According to the Mount Holly office of the National Weather Service, the threat of flash flooding has increased, particularly in the southern and eastern parts of the area where moderate and light risks for excessive rainfall have increased. As a result, the Flood Watch has also been expanded to the entire region.

Showers and thunderstorms with particularly heavy rainfall will increase again this afternoon across much of our region. The main concern is again the consequences of flash floods.

There is also a ‘marginal’ risk of severe thunderstorms.

This is the second tornado warning of the day in the area. There was also a tornado warning in Bucks County at 4:30 a.m. this morning.
