Update: York County is under a severe thunderstorm watch until 10 p.m. Thursday, the National Weather Service announced.

The watch extends to the rest of central Pennsylvania as well.

A warm front will lift northeast of the Susquehanna Valley this afternoon, followed by a cold front that will reach the lower Great Lakes in the evening, the NWS said. Lines of fast-moving thunderstorms could move into the region, and super-cell thunderstorms could form across central Pennsylvania.

The main threat from the storms will be damaging wind and large hail, but there is a possibility of a tornado, the NWS said.

A heat advisory also remains in effect until 8 p.m.

Previous story: York could see both dangerous heat and severe thunderstorms on Thursday.

The area is under a heat advisory, with residents urged to confine strenuous outdoor activities to the early morning and evening.

There is also a moderate risk of severe thunderstorms, mainly between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m., the NWS said, as a warm front from the south meets a cold front moving across the Great Lakes. Storms Thursday afternoon and evening could produce damaging winds and hail, and a few isolated tornadoes are possible, the service said.
