Flood Watch issued December 8 at 2:50PM EST until December 11 at 1:00PM EST by NWS State College PA
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...A portion of Central Pennsylvania, including the following
counties, Columbia, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Montour,
Northumberland, Schuylkill, Sullivan and York.
* WHEN...From Sunday afternoon through Monday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- With generally dry soil conditions and near to below average
streamflows over east-central Pennsylvania, rainfall will be
largely beneficial in nature. However, with rainfall forecast
to exceed 2 inches, there may be some runoff impacts. The
threat of flash flooding is low given modest rainfall rates
less than 1 inch per hour, but some urban, poor drainage, and
small stream flood impacts will be a possibility.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
