Statement as of 7:07 am EDT on September 2, 2013

The National Weather Service in Gray Maine has issued a

* Flood Warning for urban areas and small streams in...

Androscoggin County in southwest Maine...

western Knox County in south central Maine...

Sagadahoc County in south central Maine...

Lincoln County in south central Maine...

eastern Oxford County in western Maine...

northern Cumberland County in Maine...

southern Kennebec County in south central Maine...

* until 1:00 PM EDT

* at 702 am... Doppler radar continued to show bands of heavy showers

and scattered thunderstorms moving into southern Maine... mainly from

eastern Oxford County and points east towards the midcoast region.

More showers and storms will enter this region this morning as they

move north out of the Gulf of Maine at 30 mph.

Most areas in this region will receive an inch or two rainfall from

this system. However... locally heavy downpours will allow a few

communities to receive 3 to 5 inches of rain. This will likely lead

to flooding in some communities this morning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Flood Warning means flooding is occurring or is imminent. Most

flood related deaths occur in automobiles. Do not attempt to cross

water covered bridges... dips... or low water crossings. Never try to

cross a flowing stream... even a small one... on foot. To escape rising

water move up to higher ground.
