Severe thunderstorm watch expires without bringing hail, lightning, gusty winds to Del., Pa., NJ

A severe thunderstorm watch is no longer in effect for parts our region Thursday night until 9 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

All of Delaware was under the threat as well as parts of southern Pennsylvania, like Chester County, and southern New Jersey, the service said.

The Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be allowed to expire at 9PM EDT. The window of opportunity for severe storms to develop has largely closed. A few isolated showers and perhaps a thunderstorm may still be possible overnight, but the severe potential will remain low.

The National Weather Service said that it was possible to still see some isolated showers overnight into Friday morning.

This was the same system that brought tornado warnings to our area on Wednesday night due to a stalled front that got stuck in our region.

High levels of humidity and warmer temperatures were what was setting off these storms. A cold front was expected to push through Thursday night, which will clear out the atmosphere.

Crews with the National Weather Service are planning to come to Delaware in the coming days to survey any potential damage from Wednesday's storms.
