The National Weather Service warns that the Town of Scituate will face minor to moderate flooding from Sunday morning, 3/10/2024, through Sunday afternoon. Additionally, there is a possibility of splashover and localized coastal flooding continuing through Wednesday, 3/13/2024, driven by tidal conditions.
Anticipated low-lying areas prone to flooding include Cole Parkway, Front Street, Edward Foster Road, Cedar Point, and Central Ave in Humarock. Coastal roads may also experience splashovers due to these conditions.
The Town of Scituate advises residents to:
- Avoid driving through flooded areas. Saltwater or debris hidden under the water can damage vehicles, and vehicle wakes can pose risks to neighboring properties.
- Refrain from parking on Cole Parkway and the Town Pier on Sunday, 3/10/2024.
- Do not drive around the sawhorses, which've been set up for safety reasons.
- Residents should inspect their sump pumps, check downspouts, and ensure that catch basins in the area are not blocked.
