Philadelphia, PA – Severe weather could disrupt travel and daily routines across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland Thursday evening as thunderstorms bring heavy rain and the risk of flooding.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, isolated severe thunderstorms are expected between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. Thursday, September 25, 2025. Primary threats include locally damaging winds, flash flooding in urban areas, and the possibility of a brief tornado.
Most locations in the Mid-Atlantic are forecast to receive 0.5 to 1 inch of rain through Thursday night. However, forecasters warn some spots may see 2 to 3 inches of localized rainfall, raising the chance of road closures and flooding in poor drainage areas.
The severe storm and flash flood outlook covers much of eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, northern Delaware, and northeastern Maryland. Residents are urged to monitor alerts and remain prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions, especially during evening commutes.
The weather service advises drivers to avoid flooded roadways and prepare for potential power outages from downed trees and wires.
