* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rising temperatures and humidity combined with incoming
rainfall will lead to rapid snowmelt over the watch area.
Snow water equivalent values of 2 to 4 inches have been
observed along and west of the Allegheny Front. These values
combined with 0.50 to 1.00 inches of rainfall late tonight
through late Thursday night will lead to flooding concerns.
Frozen ground from the recent cold snap and snowfall will
also aid in additional runoff to small streams and creeks, as
well as main stem rivers.
