Bronxville, the town this property stands in, in 13 storm reports between 1997 and 2018: 6 flash flood, 3 flood, 2 thunderstorm wind, 1 hail.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A microburst impacted the city of Mount Vernon, bringing down large trees, with the most significant damage on Packman Avenue. Based upon the survey, winds with the microburst were estimated from 65 to 75 mph.
Periods of heavy rain resulted in small rivers overflowing their banks onto adjacent roads, which resulted in road closures.In Westchester County, the Bronx River overflowed its' banks onto sections of the Bronx River Parkway. A section of the parkway that runs under Palmer Road on the Yonkers Bronxville Border was submerged to the roadway guard rail. Westchester County police reported that sections of the Bronx River Parkway, including the Main Street Exit in White Plains (both north and south bound) were closed. Flooding also occurred near Palmer Road and the Scout Field Area near Midland Ave. The Saw Mill River Parkway at Manville Road in Pleasantville was also closed.
