With the possibility of scattered strong to severe thunderstorms this evening, remember to stay #WeatherAware with updates from our friends @NWS_MountHolly .
Another hot one today with highs in the upper 80s/low 90s. We are expecting some showers and thunderstorms to move in this evening. A few storms will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts, especially for areas along and north/west of the I-95 corridor. Stay safe!

Today, 6/3 at 2PM @ConstellationEG will test the sirens around the Peach Bottom Clean Energy Center. Sirens will also sound on Thursday, 6/4 at intervals throughout the day. In a real emergency, sirens do not mean evacuate; they mean to tune to Emergency Alert TV/radio stations.
