 region Wednesday, bringing the potential of flash and urban
 flooding to the watch area. The area of greatest risk is across
 the Laurel Highlands northeast into the Pocono Mountains. Rainfall
 totals of 4 to 7 inches are forecast in this area, resulting in
 significant flooding. Rainfall totals are likely to be slightly
 less near I-80 and for areas southeast of Harrisburg. The rain
 should taper off from west to east across central Pennsylvania
 Wednesday evening.
 
 * Some roads and bridges may become impassable and homes may be
 flooded.

 should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
