...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY 
MORNING...

The National Weather Service in State College has issued a

* Flood Watch for a portion of central Pennsylvania, including the 
  following areas, Columbia, Montour, Northern Lycoming, 
  Northumberland, Schuylkill, Snyder, Southern Lycoming, Sullivan, 
  Tioga and Union.

* From Thursday afternoon through Friday morning

* The combination of heavy rain and melting snow will increase the 
  risk of flooding on Christmas Eve into Christmas Day.

* Significant rises are expected on small streams with mainstem 
  Susquehanna river flooding most likely upstream of Sunbury. Urban 
  and poor drainage flooding is more probable due to storm drains 
  that are clogged with piles of snow.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on 
current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert 
for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding 
should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
