Floodwaters have begun to recede in central Pennsylvania, leaving behind a film of mud and headaches for motorists trying navigate around dozens of roads closed to traffic.
Skies were clear after five days of downpours that brought up to a foot of rain in a swath of Pennsylvania from York County along the Maryland line to the Williamsport region in the north. Thunderstorms are forecast for Friday.
