(WBRE\/WYOU) \u2014 The National Weather Service (NWS) announced Sunday night that multiple counties were placed under a Flash Flood Warning and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.<\/p>\n

Several counties, listed below, were placed under a Flash Flood Warning by the NWS until 2:30 a.m. at the latest.<\/p>\n

The NWS announced the warning after a storm was detected by radar, and automated rain gauges showed thunderstorms passing through the Keystone State, bringing heavy rain.<\/p>\n

Officials say one to two inches of rain have already fallen, with one-half to one inch of rain predicted to fall in the areas anticipated to be impacted.<\/p>\n

Authorities say flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, streets, highways, and underpasses is expected, in addition to other low-lying and poor drainage areas.<\/p>\n

The NWS warns residents to take proper precautions when encountering an area experiencing flash flooding.<\/p>\n
