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. – http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
