Rains Push Upper Potomac To Hazardous Levels
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- The National Weather Service is predicting flooding along the Potomac River after two days of rain.
The agency said Wednesday that moderate flooding will occur overnight at Paw Paw, W.Va., and all day Thursday at Point of Rocks.
Minor flooding is expected Thursday at Williamsport and Thursday night at Little Falls.
