...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY 

AFTERNOON...



* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be 

  possible.



* WHERE...Portions of Maine, including the following areas, Central 

  Somerset, Northern Franklin, Northern Oxford, Southern Franklin, 

  Southern Oxford and Southern Somerset and northern New Hampshire, 

  including the following areas, Northern Carroll, Northern Coos, 

  Northern Grafton, Southern Coos and Southern Grafton.



* WHEN...From late tonight through Friday afternoon.



* IMPACTS...Heavy rainfall along with warm temperatures will cause 

  rapid melting of the snowpack from the foothills northward. This 

  will increase the runoff into streams and rivers. Moderate to 

  heavy rainfall over partially frozen ground will support the 

  potential for flash flooding as well as river flooding. Disruption 

  to travel is likely on Friday.





PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



You should monitor the latest forecast and be alert for possible 

Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be 

prepared to take action should flooding develop.
