The storm could bring 2 to 4 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts possible.

“Heavy rain leading to some flash flooding is likely across the region [Saturday night] through Sunday night. Rises on slower responding waterways is also possible,” forecasters as the National Weather Service’s local office said.

The Levittown-area sits on the border of the area expected to have moderate impacts from the storm, and forecasters said Saturday morning that “small changes in the track and/or intensity could have a big impact.”
