Impending Severe Storms and Flooding Threaten Area
A Flood Watch is in effect for all counties until 10 p.m. as showers and thunderstorms bring heavy rain to the area, with the greatest risk for flooding east of US-15. Eastern counties are at a moderate risk for flooding, which occurs only a few times per year on average. Localized rain amounts exceeding 3 inches could lead to flooding in streets, urban areas, and poor drainage areas, as well as rapid rises in small creeks and streams. Showers will continue overnight, and low-lying areas and waterways are likely to remain swollen. Stay updated with the WGAL News App and the News 8 Storm Team for the latest alerts.
