What is River Flooding?

 

River Flooding can happen at any time of the year, but is most common in the late winter/early spring due to snowmelt and heavy spring rainfall. A second peak in river flooding appears in the late summer when the remnants of Tropical Storms and Hurricanes can bring heavy rain to Pennsylvania.
