Not to overstate this scenario - it’s still early - but the current predicted track shows the center of Hurricane Sandy would come ashore in Delaware on Tuesday morning and move into central Pennsylvania as a tropical storm on Wednesday morning, heading toward Lake Erie. Some forecast models have the tropical storm merging with a winter storm over Pennsylvania.  

 

If such a storm track holds true, significant rises on the Ohio River may be possible late next week. WMOA News will follow developments closely next week. Tune in for updates.
