Rockland update
Laura Incalcaterra reports:
Flooding remains a problem along a short stretch of Route 59 by the Palisades Center.
Clarkstown police said the right eastbound was still shut due to flooding, but a state Department of Transportation truck has now arrived at the scene and eastbound traffic is being rerouted over the mall overpass.
Nearly all other roadways appear to have reopened following closures due to flooding this morning.
In fact, the sun is now shining brightly across most of Rockland.
But don’t be fooled. A National Weather Service flood warning remains in effect until 4 p.m. and county creeks, streams and rivers are over their banks and not expected to begin receded until later today.
