Tuesday's storm will not be an icy one for the Easton area, but it will be a very wet one. Icing will be a concern if you live in higher elevations of extreme northern Northampton or Warren counties and into the Poconos area. Expect light rain to overspread our area late Tuesday afternoon, and becoming steadier and heavier by early evening. We may see a period of sleet at the onset of the heavier precipitation. Heavy rain will continue overnight, but lessen by the Wednesday morning commute. The NWS is expecting about an inch of rain for the Easton area. This could cause some poor drainage flooding and ponding on roadways, along with rises in local creeks and streams. If rainfall amounts exceed 1.5", "this would elevate the risk of small stream flooding", according to the NWS.
