The National Weather Service is warning of life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.

Evacuations reported in parts of Luzerne and Lycoming counties as heavy rain hits region, with the National Weather Service predicting more in the days to come.

The National Weather Service (NWS) is warning of potential flooding and ice jams by mid-week.

January has been cold. And below freezing temperatures brings ice. Ice buildup on a river causes ice jams, which lead to flooding. And so far, despite one of the coldest Januarys in a while, there is no real threat yet for a significant jam in Northeast Pennsylvania, according to the National Weather Service.
