While the tornado warnings have ended for those Pennsylvania cities, inclement weather moves into Delaware with an advisory about severe thunderstorms throughout the state until 6 p.m.

New Castle County faces 60 mph wind gusts and quarter-size hail, with possible wind damage to roofs, siding, trees and power line, according to NWS.

Kent and Sussex counties are subject to 60 mph winds and hail half the size of a dollar bill, NWS reported.

As of Friday around noon, Delaware has not been issued a tornado watch or warning, but the weather continues to be monitored through radar indications, according to NWS.
