A potent and long-duration rain storm continues to bring moderate to heavy rainfall across western Maine and New Hampshire through Monday. Total rain amounts including what has already fallen within the watch area are expected to fall between 2 and 4 inches with localized amounts in excess of 4.5 inches possible in southern facing mountain slopes. This will combine with snow melt across the north and mountains, and with frozen grounds where snowpack is not present, to create significant runoff and exacerbate flooding threat. Minor to moderate flooding is possible along main stem rivers as well as streams, many of which are still running high from last week`s rainfall. Widespread low-land and poor drainage flooding is also possible. ...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM EST EARLY THIS MORNING THROUGH LATE TONIGHT... * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of Maine, including the following areas, Androscoggin, Central Somerset, Interior Cumberland Highlands, Interior Waldo, Kennebec, Northern Franklin, Northern Oxford, Southern Franklin, Southern Oxford and Southern Somerset and New Hampshire, including the following areas, Belknap, Cheshire, Eastern Hillsborough, Merrimack, Northern Carroll, Northern Grafton, Southern Carroll, Southern Coos, Southern Grafton, Sullivan and Western And Central Hillsborough. * WHEN...From 5 AM EST early this morning through late tonight. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
