STAFF REPORT
A flash flood watch is in effect for Lackawanna, Wayne, Luzerne and Pike counties until 8 p.m.
A band of heavy rain moving across the region could cause flash flooding on small streams, creeks and headwaters this afternoon into the evening, according to the National Weather Service in Binghamton.
Over an inch of rain is possible in some areas through mid-afternoon, the weather service said. Snow melt at the highest elevations might also contribute to flooding.
