Flood Watch

Statement as of 3:46 am EDT on June 10, 2013
Flood Watch in effect from Tuesday morning through Wednesday morning.
The National Weather Service in gray has issued a flood Watch for a portion
of western Maine including the following areas...
Androscoggin... coastal Waldo... interior
Waldo... Kennebec... Knox... Lincoln... Sagadahoc... southern
Franklin... southern Oxford and southern Somerset.
* From Tuesday morning through early Wednesday morning
* rain could be heavy at times late tonight and Tuesday with one
to two inches likely. Some areas could see more than two inches
of rain.
Due to recent heavy rainfall the ground is already saturated so
that any additional rainfall will quickly runoff into streams
and rivers. Streams and rivers will rise quickly later tonight
through Tuesday night with the potential for flooding. Urban
street flooding is also possible.
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.
