After Wednesday night's storms led to tornado warnings and flash flooding across the Philadelphia area, things have calmed down Thursday morning as storms move offshore.

While we may still have areas of residual flooding, especially along smaller streams and creeks, flood waters are subsiding. The Brandywine Creek remains flood-warned in spots as of this writing.

Thursday is cloudy and cooler, but showers and a few thunderstorms may still fire up in spots, especially off to the south, and any of these may produce heavy rain.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for parts of Atlantic and Cumberland counties in New Jersey that expired at 5:45 p.m. Another is issued for central Cumberland County until 7 p.m.

For the temperature, highs are stuck in the low 80s and it's still humid.
