A flood watch is in effect until later today for Schuylkill County.
"We're not looking at widespread river flooding," Charles Ross, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, State College, said Wednesday.
The watch is in effect from 2 a.m. to 8 p.m. today. Between 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible with a 100 percent chance of rain, according to weather.gov.
"It's possible there won't be any flooding. It's just a watch right now," said Kevin Fitzgerald with the NWS.
He said June is typically one of the heaviest months for precipitation.
So far, the COOP site in Tamaqua registered 2.17 inches of rain as of 7 a.m. Wednesday, Fitzgerald said. The average is 5.5 inches.
In Mahanoy City, 2.03 inches of rain fell as of 7 a.m. Wednesday, with the average being 5.21 inches.
Ross said the rain will fall heavy at times.
"It's going to fall pretty quickly in some showers. We get this in June. It's not unusual," he said, adding it would be a good day to use an umbrella.
The high temperature today will be in the low to mid-70s, he said. Friday, Saturday and Sunday temperatures should also be in the 70s.
Rain is possible Friday and Sunday, with about a 40 percent chance each day. No rain is forecast for Saturday.
Ross said the precipitation for the county is about average.
"Maybe an inch or two drier than normal," he said, but it's nothing to be concerned about.
No counties in the state are in a drought watch, according to the state.
"This is a good, beneficial rain coming," Ross said.
