Moderate to locally heavy rainfall can be expected across the eastern half of PA beginning Saturday afternoon, ending Sunday Morning.

Above average precipitation is expected for the next two weeks, so unfortunately this weather isn’t going anywhere fast.

7 DAY RAINFALL FORECAST MAP

Area A: Total rainfall amounts of 4-6″ are expected. Prepare for localized flooding and avoid flooded roadways.

Area B: Total rainfall amounts of 3-4″ are expected. Prepare for localized flooding and avoid flooded roadways.

Area C: Total rainfall amounts of 2-3″ are expected. Isolated flash flooding possible.

Area D: Total rainfall amounts of 1-2″ are expected.

We recommend watching basements for flooding throughout the next couple weeks. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away a small car, while 2 feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters,” states the National Weather Service.
