Pottstown Under Flood Warning

Pottstown is under a flood warning until 4 a.m. Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.

At roughly 8 p.m. Wednesday, Doppler Radar "indicated bands of moderate to heavy rain moving into the area," the NWS report states. "Given the already saturated conditions from precipitation earlier today, these bands will produce runoff sufficient enough for small streams to exceed their banks."

A flood warning means flooding is on the way or has been reported.

"Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dancers of flooding," the report states. "Move up to higher ground to escape flood waters. Do not stay in areas subject to flooding when water begins rising."
