Flood Watch

quickly and reach critical levels.

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT 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 Thursday night 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.
