Flood warning in effect again

Areal Flood Watch statement as of 2:57 PM EST on January 21, 2018

Flood Watch in effect from Tuesday morning through late Tuesday night.

The National Weather Service in gray has issued a

* Flood Watch for portions of Maine and New Hampshire, including

the following areas, in Maine, Androscoggin, coastal

Cumberland, coastal Waldo, coastal York, interior Cumberland,

interior Waldo, interior York, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln,

Sagadahoc, and southern Oxford. In New Hampshire, Belknap,

Cheshire, coastal Rockingham, eastern Hillsborough, interior

Rockingham, Merrimack, northern Carroll, northern Grafton,

southern Carroll, southern Grafton, Strafford, Sullivan, and

western and central Hillsborough.

* From Tuesday morning through late Tuesday night

* ice jams combined with some run off and snow melt.

* There are several ice jams across southern and central New

Hampshire into western Maine that remain in place. As rainfall

and snow melt enters the rivers, rising water levels may allow

for those jams to break up and reform. Minor flooding is

possible, especially along portions of the Ashuelot,

piscataquog, Saco, and Kennebec rivers.

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.
