Heavy rain causes issues on roads

A truck nagivates through water on the road at the intersection of routes 209 and 443 in Lehighton. A flood watch is in effect through 2 a.m.

The National Weather Service says excessive runoff may result in flooding of creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be flooded.

Multiple rounds of showers with embedded thunderstorms will move through the area through this evening bringing 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rainfall. However within any thunderstorms amounts could be higher bringing the potential for flash flooding.
