What the National Weather Service wrote
Several consecutive days of rain led to a handful of flooded roads in parts of Huntingdon County on April 3, 2024. Some impacts include: the closures of PA-103 in Shirley Township, PA-655 in Clay Township, and Church Street in Three Springs Borough.
The wider storm
A stationary front followed by a significant early spring storm system led to a prolonged period of wet weather from April 1 into April 3, 2024. Central Pennsylvania received 2-4 (locally 5+) of rain falling over roughly a 72-hour period, which led to flooding of creeks and rivers in some areas. Additionally, WFO CTP received a call from WFO PHI that a dam on Octoraro Creek in western Chester County was performing an emergency release of water, and there was concern of a bridge or multiple bridges below the dam becoming submerged. This prompted a flood warning for Octoraro Creek below the dam in eastern Lancaster County.
Began near Joller (40.1671, -78.0490).
