Harrisburg, PA – A fresh round of heavy rain will continue across parts of the Upper Susquehanna and Upper Delaware basins, with 1 to 2 inches expected by Saturday. This will renew concerns for minor flooding, particularly in areas still recovering from earlier storms.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the rain is expected to start tonight and continue through Friday night, impacting northeast Pennsylvania, southeast New York, and northern New Jersey. The additional rainfall will cause small to moderate rises in streams and rivers, with localized flooding possible, especially in areas that have already seen substantial rainfall recently.
Flood-prone areas across the region should remain vigilant. Authorities recommend avoiding low-lying roads, and people are advised to stay alert for potential flash flooding if rainfall accumulates rapidly. Local officials are preparing for possible road closures, especially in areas with poor drainage or swollen creeks and streams.
This storm will likely continue to bring rain into the weekend, with impacts stretching through Saturday. Further advisories may be issued as the weather event develops, and residents should remain aware of changing conditions.
