Another Winter Storm Headed To PA: See Latest Forecast

EASTERN PA — As the region recovers from a blast of winter weather over the weekend, another powerful storm is on already being tracked on the way to eastern Pennsylvania.

A flood watch has been issued for the region from Tuesday night through Wednesday night.

"This is likely to be quite an impactful event with significant flooding possible... both freshwater flooding due to heavy rains and coastal flooding due to very strong south/southeast winds late day Tuesday and Tuesday night," the National Weather Service's Mount Holly, New Jersey branch said.

Wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour could slam the Philadelphia area.

The storm is expected to roll in during the latter part of Tuesday and continue into Wednesday. Heavy rain will fall, with 1 to 3 inches expected and up to 4 inches possible in some areas.

After the recent storm, the ground and rivers will already be swollen, leading to moderate to major river flooding.

AccuWeather said residents across the nation can expect major travel disruptions "as the storm produces a vast area of snow, drenching rain, strong winds and even violent thunderstorms."

"In portions of the Northeast, where heavy snow from the storm the past weekend is on the ground, surging warm air, heavy rain and strong snow-eating winds will lead to a rapid runoff from Tuesday to Wednesday. Small streams and rivers will be on the rise with the potential for a serious flash flood event," according to AccuWeather.
