Severe Thunderstorm Warning In Bucks Co., 60 MPH Winds, Pea-Sized Hail Possible

Parts of Bucks County are under a severe thunderstorm warning until 3 p.m., the National Weather Service said.

The warning spans from Montgomery County east to Lower Makefield and north to the Doylestown area. Here is a map of the warning area:

Forecasters say the incoming thunderstorm has the capability to produce winds of up to 60 mph and pea-sized hail.

Forecasters warned earlier in the day that residents could expect powerful storms with the potential of up to 7 inches of rain. A flood watch has been declared from 2 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Friday.

"Isolated wind damage is possible early," the National Weather Service's Mt. Holly, New Jersey branch said. "We are becoming increasingly concerned about flash flooding potential with this activity, particularly across the moderate risk area."

Rain could fall at a rate of 2 inches per hour, with widespread totals of at least 1 to 3 inches expected, and as much as 5 to 7 inches possible in the hardest hit areas, forecasters said. That will be more than enough to cause flooding, potentially severe.

"Flooding could result in road closures," the National Weather Service warned. "Significant flash flooding is possible."

"Major travel disruptions are possible within 100 miles of I-95, especially into the first part of Thursday night," Accuweather added. "In some cases, an inch of rain can pour down in 15-30 minutes. As the rainfall continues at varying intensities, problems will arise."

In Philadelphia, incoming flights are delayed due to the severe storms. More information on that is here.

SEPTA has also warned of delays due to the weather.
