Heavy rain will fall on snow leading to melt across southern New Hampshire and southwestern Maine early Wednesday. Recent snow is expected to almost completely melt out within the watch area. This will combine with 1 to 2 inches of rainfall to produce flash flooding of small streams and poor drainage in urban areas. The deeper snowpack from the foothills northward is expected to hold, reducing the flood risk in those areas. ...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM EST THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall and snow melt continue to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of Maine, including the following areas, Androscoggin, Central Interior Cumberland, Coastal Cumberland, Coastal York, Interior York, Kennebec, Lincoln and Sagadahoc and New Hampshire, including the following areas, Belknap, Coastal Rockingham, Eastern Hillsborough, Interior Rockingham, Merrimack, Strafford and Western And Central Hillsborough. * WHEN...From 10 PM EST this evening through Wednesday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Flooding is likely to occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
