...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT...

The Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of Central Highlands Maine, Far Eastern Maine, Far
  Northern Maine, and North Woods Maine, including the following
  areas, in Central Highlands Maine, Central Piscataquis,
  Northern Penobscot, and Southern Piscataquis. In Far Eastern
  Maine, Southeast Aroostook. In Far Northern Maine, Northeast
  Aroostook and Northwest Aroostook. In North Woods Maine,
  Northern Piscataquis and Northern Somerset.

* From Monday evening through late Tuesday night

* The combination of rainfall and extensive snow melt Monday
  into Monday night will result in significant runoff and the
  potential for flooding. In addition, portions of northern
  rivers where ice still remains intact will likely see this ice
  dislodged resulting in possible localized ice jams. The
  greatest chance for flooding will initially be on small
  streams and low lying areas Monday night into Tuesday then on
  the larger rivers Tuesday night into early Wednesday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
