PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A tornado watch has been issued for the entire Philadelphia region as Debby heads toward the area.

The National Weather Service issued the alert Friday morning. It is scheduled to expire at 2:00 p.m.

Debby was downgraded from a tropical storm to a tropical depression and then to a post-tropical cyclone overnight, but will still bring plenty of rain and some severe storm risk to the area.

We’ve been tracking the storm’s path all week and it looks like most of the rain will fall in central Pennsylvania; however, we’ll still see plenty of rain in eastern Pennsylvania as well as New Jersey and Delaware.

The region will see at least 1 to 2 inches of rain, but anywhere with scattered showers could see higher rainfall totals.

Stay with the NEXT Weather team here at CBS News Philadelphia as we continue to track Debby and its effects in the area.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
