LEHIGH COUNTY, Pa. (CBS/AP) - The National Weather Service says a weak, EF-0 tornado touched down in Lehigh County on Sunday evening.

A survey team was on the scene Monday examining the damage left behind after a severe storm moved through Heidelberg Township.

"The tornado caused tree damage along Church Road before tracking through a cornfield and eventually. Causing damage to the metal roofing on a barn at the Heidel Hollow Farm on Saegersville Road. The well-defined path through the cornfield and twisted nature of the tree damage and eyewitness accounts helped to determine this was tornadic damage," said the weather service on Monday.

The weather service says the tornado may not have been on the ground for the entire path.

A portion of a barn's roof on Saegersville Road was torn off and trees were downed in the Lehigh County community.

A firefighter posted a video which appears to show a funnel cloud forming.

The weather service confirmed two tornadoes struck northeast Pennsylvania last month, injuring six people and damaging more than a dozen businesses.

Heavy downpours are possible throughout the state on Monday.
