More Storms Predicted Across Eastern PA Wednesday

Another round of severe weather is possible Wednesday, with a chance of evening thunderstorms that could bring flooding, the National Weather Service is warning.

The NWS has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook ahead of the storms, saying the Philadelphia region could experience locally heavy rainfall that may prompt some flooding of roadways and areas of poor drainage.

Small streams and creeks could also experience flooding, the NWS warned.

The storms are predicted to start in the evening. There's a chance of thunderstorms at 5 p.m., with the likelihood increasing into the night. Some storms could linger through early Thursday before clearing for partly sunny skies.

New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch are possible on Wednesday night, the NWS predicts.

The storms come one week after a series of tornadoes touched down in Eastern Pennsylvania, including one in Bucks County on May 29. The EF0 tornado touched down near the border of Lehigh and Bucks counties with winds of 80 mph and a maximum width of 50 yards, causing downed trees and power outages.

The day before, an EF2 tornado with winds of up to 120 miles touched down in Morgantown. That twister had a path length of 2.6 miles and a maximum width of 400 yards, the NWS out of Mount Holly said.

Four additional tornadoes on May 29 were confirmed in Central Pennsylvania, including in Dauphin, Fulton, Sullivan and Perry counties.

In Pennsylvania, 28 tornadoes have been confirmed so far this year as of May 30, according to the National Weather Service in State College.

Even in areas that escaped impacts from last week's tornadoes, the severe weather caused widespread destruction, including downed trees, power outages, flash flooding and more. Some schools were even closed due to extended power outages.
