* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rainfall of 2 to 3 inches with locally up to 4 inches
possible Tuesday through early Wednesday, with the heaviest
rain falling Tuesday night. The ground remains very saturated
following multiple rounds of heavy rainfall over the last
month. A period of higher hourly rainfall rates is possible
during Tuesday night which would enhance the potential for
flooding, particularly in more urban areas. The combination
of snowmelt and heavy rain may significantly elevate the
flooding risk, especially across northeast Pennsylvania and
northern New Jersey.
