FOX 29's Jeff Robbins has you Saturday night forecast.
PHILADELPHIA - A widespread Severe Thunderstorm Watch expired at 8 p.m., after a band of brief, but powerful, storms rumbled across the region on Saturday afternoon into the evening hours
The National Weather Service issued its first advisory of the day shortly after 3 p.m. The Severe Thunderstorm Warning encompassed Lehigh County and parts of Bucks and Northampton.
Soon after, counties in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey were under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Most of the weather threat centralized to the north of Philadelphia.
The scattered storms brought gusting winds up to 70 MPH and heavy downpours in some spots. Areas in Northampton and Bucks reportedly experienced small, penny-sized hail.
