Rockland update
From Laura Incalcaterra:
The National Weather Service has cancelled the flood warning issued for Rockland.
However, additional runoff from this morning’s heavy rains will continue to cause minor flooding through this afternoon and evening, the agency said.
The Mahwah River in Suffern remains just above its flood stage of 4 feet. The river is expected to decline and return within its banks by 5 p.m. or so.
Flooding remains a problem along a short stretch of Route 59 by the Palisades Center and travel has been slow at times through the area, Clarkstown police said today.
The right eastbound lane remains shut due to flooding, but the nearby Hackensack River appears to have crested and the water is expected to recede soon, police said.
Nearly all other roadways appear to have reopened.
