Traffic Advisory: Heavy Rains Hit Bronxville-Eastchester

Be careful out there as severe thunderstorms are causing treacherous conditions on Westchester roadways.

 

Update: A Flood Advisory has been issued for our area until 12:45pm

The drive down the Sprain Brook Parkway from White Plains to Bronxville was a harrowing one, filled with flashes of lightning and jolts of thunder.  Lightning struck the top of Westchester's Ridge Hill as I passed Sprain Ridge Lake, desperately trying to get to Bronxville.
