Rain Expected Throughout Morning, Flood Warning Issued For Afternoon through Saturday

The rain which started last night is still around this morning and will stick with us throughout this morning.  The rain, which is expected to be heavy at times, will be causing a lot of ponding and flooding across roadways, so give yourself extra time when travelling today and take your time.  If you come across a large area of water, DO NOT TRY AND DRIVE THROUGH IT.

The heavy rains have also pulled a lot of the leaves off of trees causing some roads to be slick.

The National Weather Service has also issued a Flood Warning for southern Schuylkill County until 2PM Saturday.  The Swatara Creek is expected to just go above flood stage overnight tonight.  People in the Pine Grove Area should begin taking precautions sooner then later.
