All the rain this weekend is causing some flooding concerns across western New York.

Neighbors and officials are keeping a close eye on the Ellicott Creek in Williamsville Monday morning.

Water levels rose Sunday night and are expected to crest just slightly over flood stage.

Tony Nicosia from Oakfield said, "That one road is closed right off of Crick Road there, because you can't get through there. It's washed right out."

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - All the rain this weekend is causing some flooding concerns across western New York.

Neighbors and officials are keeping a close eye on the Ellicott Creek in Williamsville Monday morning.

Water levels rose Sunday night and are expected to crest just slightly over flood stage.

Water levels in Tonawanda Creek in the City of Batavia rose to more than a foot above flood stage by 6 Sunday night.

A few roads in Batavia were closed as a result. Water from the creek made them impassable.

Tony Nicosia from Oakfield said, "That one road is closed right off of Crick Road there, because you can't get through there. It's washed right out."
