Weather Update 9-21-16 at 9:15pm

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Rain is likely to continue sporadically between now and the (Thursday) morning hours.  Total accumulation is expected around 0.5”.  In other words, precipitation should be a non-issue for the morning commute.   In addition, I do not expect any flood waters to impact the commute.  

Tomorrow's high tide is expected around 2:30 p.m.  There may be pockets of flooding around that time; however, it will be minimal and certainly no more than we typically experience during a lunar high tide. Minor impacts to the afternoon commute.  

Currently, the Tidewater underpass just south of Lindenwood Ave is closed due to an electrical issue with one of the pumps.  Two remaining pumps are working but the extra ground water is making it difficult to keep the underpass dry right now.  Crews will open the area once the water is pumped down. 

There were a couple reports of downed trees today to which RPOS crews responded immediately and resolved the situation.

Trash was collected in a majority of neighborhoods on Wednesday's route.  There is a small area in the Bayview section that was not picked up.  A dedicated truck will return in the morning to collect any missed cans. 

Normal city operations set for Thursday including regularly scheduled refuse collection.

Thank you!

Jim
