HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME
812 PM EDT SUN APR 20 2008
...THE CONNECTICUT RIVER AT DALTON IS NEARLY AT FLOOD STAGE THIS
EVENING...
VERY WARM TEMPERATURES THE PAST FEW DAYS RESULTED IN SUBSTANTIAL
SNOWMELT WHICH LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT RUNOFF INTO RIVERS AND THEIR
TRIBUTARIES IN WESTERN MAINE AND MUCH OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE...THE CONNECTICUT RIVER AT DALTON WAS NEARLY AT THE
17 FOOT FLOOD STAGE WITH A READING OF 16.94 FEET AT 715 PM. 
FURTHER DOWNSTREAM AT WEST LEBANON THE RIVER WAS MORE THAN A FOOT
BELOW FLOOD STAGE WITH A READING OF 16.74 FEET AT 730 PM.
THE RIVER WILL SLOWLY INCH ITS WAY UPWARD OVERNIGHT AT DALTON...
MOST LIKELY PEAKING RIGHT AT FLOOD STAGE. IF THE RIVER INCHES OVER
THE 17 FOOT FLOOD STAGE ONLY VERY MINOR FLOODING WOULD OCCUR.
AT WEST LEBANON THE RIVER WILL SLOWLY RISE OVERNIGHT...STAYING JUST
BELOW 17 FEET. FLOOD STAGE AT WEST LEBANON IS 18 FEET.
SOME FLUCTUATION IN RIVER LEVELS CAN BE EXPECTED DUE TO POWER
GENERATION.
