Punishing weather took a toll on Pelham over the July 4th weekend, and heavy rains forecast for today have already prompted an advisory from the National Weather Service about the potential for flooding in the area.
The heat wave of last Thursday and Friday, when local temperatures ranged from the high 90s to 100 degrees, led to local power outages. Once power had been restored, rough weather continued to wreak havoc in town, bringing down trees over the weekend and interfering with the traffic lights at the busy Four Corners intersection on Sunday.
