A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 7 p.m. ET for parts of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Damaging winds, hail and strong storms are all possible with this system. 

CLEVELAND – A deadly stretch of severe weather continued for a ninth-straight day on Thursday, with communities along a 1,500-mile swath of the U.S. from the Plains to the Great Lakes facing the threats of damaging winds, hail and even some tornadoes.

The multiday threat began last week, and since then, at least five people have been killed by storm-related impacts.

Three people were killed in Pennsylvania on Tuesday when a serial derecho plowed across the state, and some 225,000 customers in Pennsylvania were still without power as of Thursday morning, according to FindEnergy.com.

Additionally, at least two people were killed by flash flooding in Oklahoma on Wednesday.

This video shows the damage left behind when deadly severe weather tore across the Pittsburgh area in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, April 29, 2025.

Most issues on Thursday were from dime to quarter-sized hail and winds strong enough to damage branches.

Some communities in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, still without power, experienced rounds of showers and thunderstorms, which in isolated areas caused additional power outages.

Officials with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation say the agency is continuing around the clock to move debris produced by the early week storms.

Severe thunderstorms were also reported across the southern Plains and in Texas, where residents were gearing up for an additional 1-4″ of rainfall through the early weekend.

The majority of the additional precipitation is expected to stay south of the Red River Valley, which has seen episodes of flash flooding.
