A new Tornado Watch has been issued for portions of eastern PA and northern NJ through 10 pm, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service says that farther south, the threat for tornadoes has diminished.
Portions of this new watch may be canceled early as the threat diminishes from south to north toward the evening.
Additionally, power outages have been reported throughout the region due to the storms. Down wires have also been reported in various locations.
One individual wrote in earlier today to What's going on in the Lehigh Valley reporting a power outage in the West End of Allentown. Others have also reported being without power on our Facebook page of What's going on in the Lehigh Valley.
According to PPL, 3,787 customers in Lehigh County, 1,374 in Carbon County, 3,967 in Monroe County, 497 in Northampton County, 940 in Bucks County and 1,766 in Schuylkill County were without power as 2 p.m. Friday.
