Overview

  • Flash flood warnings remain in effect for seven Pennsylvania counties after Doppler radar and rain gauges recorded bursts of up to 2.5 inches of rain.
  • Flood watches are active until early Thursday morning for multiple North and Central Alabama counties where excessive runoff may inundate rivers, creeks and urban drainage.
  • A flood advisory remains in effect for Livingston County, Michigan, after more than half an inch of rain led to minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
  • Forecasters are urging motorists to heed the warning “Turn around, don’t drown,” noting that just 12 inches of moving water can carry away most vehicles.
  • All alerts are distributed through Advance Local Weather Alerts, a United Robots service that compiles National Weather Service data for local media outlets.
