No Flooding Reported on Local Roads

With the exception of a few puddles and wet spots, last night's heavy rainfall hasn't caused many problems on Harrison's roads.

Harrison Police said shortly after the rain stopped Monday morning that there have been no reported road closures or flooding. Roads like Tamarac Trail and Nelson Avenue, which are sometimes prone to flooding, were clear at 11 a.m. Monday. Some water was still trickling onto Harrison Avenue in some areas, but it was not causing any problems.

There were no lane closures or delays on Interstate 287, Interstate 684 and the Hutchinson River Parkway through Harrison by the time the rain stopped. Con Edison is also not reporting any electrical problems in the area.

The National Weather Service has extended a flood warning for small streams in the area until 1:15 p.m. Although water levels crested shortly after rain left the area Monday morning, they remain above flood stages and are expected to slowly recede over the next few hours, according to the NWS.

Flash floods are unlikely at this point, according to the NWS.

Several surrounding school districts announced delays this morning, but the Harrison Central School District opened as scheduled. In Rockland County and other areas of Westchester County, there were and even mudslides causing problems.
