National Weather Service Issues Flood Watch

Posted on: July 9, 2023 - 11:07am

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for our area from 2:00pm today, Sunday, July 9th to 10:00am, tomorrow Monday, July 10th. A slow moving cold front will bring showers and thunderstorms later today, mainly from the afternoon through the overnight. Scattered to potentially numerous areas of flash flooding is possible. One- to two- inches of rain per hour is possible.

The levels of the Mamaroneck and Sheldrake Rivers in the Village are as low as they can be for this time of year. Still, in the event of the heaviest of downpours, we may see some flash flooding in our usual flood prone areas. As usual, crews from the Village's volunteer Fire Department as well as the Department of Public Works will be ready at a moment's notice.

Please note the following:

  1. The Village Manager has authorized FREE PARKING for Sunday, July 9th and Monday, July 10th, on the Hunter Tier Lot on Prospect Avenue (across from the Village’s Police Station) and the Parking Lot along Phillips Park Road. Residents who normally park their vehicles in the Village’s flood prone areas can move their vehicles to these free parking lots. 
  2. Please DO NOT DRIVE ON FLOODED ROADWAYS. Do not drive around barricades.
  3. If you lose power, report your power problem to ConEdison. Visit www.coned.com or call 1-800-752-6633. You can also receive updates about your restoration status automatically from ConEd.
  4. Please also remember to check-in on elderly neighbors and those who may need assistance.

For the latest briefing on the potential hazards and impacts from this weather event from the New York Office of the National Weather Service, visit www.weather.gov/okx. In addition to the National Weather Service, we encourage you to monitor weather reports from local media for updates. 

Thank you. Be well. And stay safe.
