Reported by

Coordinates

Rainfall and snowmelt combined to bring the Susquehanna River out of its banks at Sayre in Bradford county. The flooding was minor and confined mostly to rural agricultural lands in the flood plain.

What these are

Flood
Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
