Winter Weather Parking in Effect For Peekskill

PEEKSKILL, N.Y. - Due to the expected ferocity of the early autumn storm, a winter weather parking alert is in effect in the city Saturday and will remain in effect until further notice.

The latest estimate from the National Weather Service calls for rain and snow Saturday afternoon becoming all snow after 2 p.m. The snow could be heavy at times and some thunder and lightning is also possible. The high temperature will be about 41 degrees. North winds approximately 15 miles per hour are expected and daytime snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches is possible.

Snow will continue into the night, ending after midnight. The snow could be heavy at times and overnight lows will be around 32 degrees. It will be breezy, with north winds between 17 and 20 miles per hour and gusts as high as 38 miles per hour. An overnight snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches is possible.

As of 4:30 p.m. Con Edison was reporting several small outages in neighborhoods throughout the city on their website, which can be accessed here.

All overnight parking (from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.) on non-alternate side streets is prohibited. Overnight parking will be permitted on the streets where alternate side of the street parking is permitted. Motorists are cautioned to follow the posted signs and ensure they are on the proper side of the street to avoid being ticketed. Alternate-side parking is for a 24 hour period.

Parking between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. is prohibited on any street that does not have winter/alternate side parking. Vehicles found in violation of the ordinance will be towed at the owner's expense and fined $50. Motorists are asked to cooperate to ensure that snow removal operations can be completed. 

The city is stressing that the winter parking weather alert will be rescinded only when snow removal operations are completed, and not as soon as the storm is over.
