..WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING TO FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...

ANOTHER WINTER STORM WILL MOVE UP INTO CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA FROM THE
SOUTHWEST LATE IN THE DAY ON THURSDAY. IT WILL SPREAD A POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS MIX OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY
AND SOUTH-CENTRAL MOUNTAINS.

THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD START OUT AS A PERIOD OF SNOW...BEGINNING
DURING THE EVENING HOURS ON THURSDAY...AND THEN QUICKLY CHANGE OVER
TO A MIX OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN...LASTING MUCH OF THURSDAY NIGHT.
THE PRECIPITATION WILL GRADUALLY CHANGE TO PLAIN RAIN DURING THE
MORNING ON FRIDAY. THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY ON
FRIDAY.

..A FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING...

THE WATCH INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES...

IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA...
ADAMS...BEDFORD...BLAIR...CAMBRIA...COLUMBIA...CUMBERLAND...
DAUPHIN...FRANKLIN...FULTON...HUNTINGDON...JUNIATA...LANCASTER...
LEBANON...MIFFLIN...MONTOUR...NORTHUMBERLAND...PERRY...SCHUYLKILL...
SNYDER...SOMERSET...SOUTHERN CENTRE...UNION AND YORK.


A WINTER STORM WILL SPREAD SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN INTO
SOUTH-CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THE
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO RAIN AROUND OR EVEN BEFORE
SUNRISE IN THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY...AND BY MID-MORNING FRIDAY
FOR THE REST OF THE WATCH AREA.

THE RAINFALL MAY BE HEAVY DURING THE DAYTIME ON FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY
IN THE LOWER SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY...NEAR YORK...HARRISBURG AND
LANCASTER. THIS RAINFALL WILL QUICKLY RUN OFF INTO THE AREA CREEKS
AND STREAMS...AND COULD CAUSE MINOR FLOODING ON THE SMALLER CREEKS
AND STREAMS PROBLEMS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.

ADDITIONALLY...STORM DRAINS ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND LAUREL
MOUNTAINS MAY BE CLOGGED WITH ICE AND SNOW WHEN THE RAINFALL STARTS.
THIS COULD LEAD TO WATER BACKUPS AND STREET FLOODING...AS WELL AS
PROBLEMS WITH SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS RISING QUICKLY.

THE LARGER STREAMS AND RIVERS MAY ALSO BE UNDER A FLOODING
THREAT...AS ICE COVERS MANY OF THE AREA WATERWAYS...AND A RAPID RISE
IN WATER VOLUME COULD DISLODGE ICE AND CREATE ICE JAM FLOODING.
