...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1245 AM EDT FOR CENTRAL
WASHINGTON COUNTY...

At 1012 PM EDT, Doppler radar continued to indicate heavy rain that
could cause minor flooding in the advisory area. Up to 2.5 inches of
rain have already fallen.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Calais, Machias, Lubec, Eastport, Jonesport, Perry, Pembroke,
Princeton, Jonesboro, Columbia Falls, Cutler, Meddybemps, Fowler
Township, Centerville, Dyer Township, Baileyville, East Machias,
Addison, Machiasport and Robbinston.

Additional rainfall of 1 to 1.5 inches is expected over the area
over the next 2 to 3 hours. This additional rain could result in
minor flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying
spots.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.
