Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more
heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rainfall of 2 to 3 inches with locally up to 4 inches
possible through tonight, with the heaviest rain occurring
this evening. The ground remains very saturated following
multiple rounds of heavy rainfall over the last month. A
period of higher hourly rainfall rates is possible tonight
which would enhance the potential for flooding, particularly
in the more urban areas. The combination of snow melt and
heavy rain may significantly elevate the flooding risk,
especially across northeast Pennsylvania and northern New
Jersey.
