The weather even triggered a tornado warning for parts of Ocean and Monmouth counties in New Jersey. That warning expired at 7:15 p.m. A heat advisory was in effect across much of the area from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. with feels-like temperatures over 100 degrees.

Tuesday has been a hot and muggy one for the Philadelphia area with high temperatures in the 90s and the oppressive heat has given way to a round of scattered storms, some of which have turned severe in some places.
