...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...



* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be 

  possible.



* WHERE...A portion of central Pennsylvania, including the following 

  areas, Adams, Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Clearfield, 

  Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Elk, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, 

  Juniata, Lancaster, Lebanon, McKean, Mifflin, Montour, Northern 

  Centre, Northern Clinton, Northern Lycoming, Northumberland, 

  Perry, Potter, Schuylkill, Snyder, Somerset, Southern Centre,

* WHEN...Through Thursday morning.



* IMPACTS...Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Creeks 

  and streams are running high especially across south central 

  Pennsylvania and could flood with more heavy rain. Excessive 

  runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and 

  other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in 

  poor drainage and urban areas.



* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - Additional rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 2.5 inches on top of

    the 1 to 4 inches of rain that has already fallen will

    maintain an elevated risk of inundation and river flooding

    across central Pennsylvania.
