Saturday afternoon and evening storms could briefly turn severe in latest Philadelphia weather forecast
Carry the umbrella today and keep an eye on the sky for the possibility of severe weather in the Philadelphia region.
Storms began to roll in around 1 p.m., with severe thunderstorm warnings popping up in Delaware and South Jersey Saturday afternoon.
Part of our region is under a Level 1 or "slight" risk of severe weather with the possibility of gusty storms. These storms could cause wind damage and bring scattered downpours, however, not everyone will see a storm.
