The National Weather Center regional office said a red-flag warning remains in effect until Monday evening in the county and elsewhere, as gusty winds and dry conditions increase the risk of fires.
A minor risk of flooding prevailed Monday morning as the past hours of rain subsided. Up next, according to AccuWeather, is a huge temperature drop that could make Tuesday driving slippery.
The National Weather service is keeping a winter weather advisory in place Friday until 4 p.m. for parts of Montgomery and Chester counties, due to freezing rain that made roads slippery overnight.
As the next winter storm arrives Thursday in this portion of the Northeast, AccuWeather experts predicted accumulating snow and a "messy mix" of other hazards. Stay off the roads, it suggested.
The National Weather Service warning, updated Monday at 4:15 a.m., anticipates a wintry mix during morning hours, changing Monday afternoon and night to freezing rain with significant icing. Stay home, it said.
A severe storm Monday afternoon and night pummeled Pottstown, Birdsboro, Royersford, Trappe, Collegeville, Schwenksville, Phoenixville, and Elverson.
Montgomery County is included by name as one of the subjects of a severe thunderstorm watch issued for Monday night by the National Weather Service.
