Reports earlier on Tuesday morning indicated the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg was only expected to swell to the action stage without entering the minor flooding stage.

Now, the river is expected to cross into the minor flooding stage and swell near the moderate stage.

The river is expected to swell above 18 feet by 6 p.m. Thursday, the National Weather Service reports.

National Weather Service indicates that when the river hits 17 feet, basements of residences at businesses begin to flood, and the parking lot on City Island begins to take on water.

"Minor flooding is just that, minor," said Harrisburg fire chief Brian Enterline.

He added that officials will continue to monitor the situation, especially forecasts north of the area, and make adjustments accordingly.

Recent rainfall has resulted in flooding that has closed numerous roadways in the region, and more rain is expected into later this week.
