Flooding (March 13, 2010)
I would have loved to do a live stream today, but the cards just didn’t fall into place. Sorry.
However, we did get several pictures from the flooding event across the Alleghenies. I’ll share a couple of them for you on here.
As of 9:00 PM on Saturday, rain totals look like this:
Altoona – 1.5″
State College – 1.8″
Johnstown – 1.1″
DuBois – 0.6″
Clearfield – 0.8″
Indiana – 1.1″
The storm is still expected to bring more rain (albeit lighter) through the day on Sunday and into Monday before coming to an end.
Rivers are expected to crests in flood stage across the region early Sunday morning. Some rivers will be into moderate or even major flood stage by the time all is said and done.
At the time of this post, rivers currently at flood or action stage include the Conemaugh River at Seward and the Youghiogheny River at Confluence. The Frankstown Branch of the Juniata and the Aughwick Creek at Shirleysburg are also at action or flood stage and expected to rise overnight. We’ll get a better idea and updated information after 10 PM at the AHPS River Forecasts website (which is currently down due to server issues).
In the meantime, you can get more river information by clicking on either of these links. One has information for rivers in the area covered by NWS Pittsburgh and one is for NWS State College. http://bit.ly/dwCyDi and http://bit.ly/bsyWgW
