Rain/Street Flood Advisory

A MESSAGE FROM SCITUATE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

We are expecting significant rain this evening into Thursday afternoon, 2” to 3” of rain is forecast in our area, peak rainfall is anticipated from midnight to 6am. Some South Shore locations could receive as much as 4” of rain within a 12-hour period.

This heavy rain could create potential drainage and street flooding issues. We are asking all residents to check the storm drains on their street and clear any leaves and debris that may be blocking the surface of the drain.

We are forecast to receive some gusty winds from the east overnight but do not expect any coastal flooding or power issues. The morning commute may be challenging with pooling water and localized street flooding. Please do not try to drive through any flooded streets, you never know what lies beneath the water.

Be Well & Stay Safe!
