The Flood Watch continues for
* Portions of Maine and New Hampshire, including the following
areas, in Maine, Androscoggin, Central Somerset, Coastal
Cumberland, Coastal Waldo, Interior Cumberland, Interior
Waldo, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, Northern Franklin, Northern
Oxford, Sagadahoc, Southern Franklin, Southern Oxford, and

* From 8 AM EDT Saturday through Sunday afternoon
* Heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt will likely lead to minor or
moderate river flooding this weekend. A few locations on the
Connecticut River, as well as the Pemigewasset at Plymouth and
the Androscoggin River at Rumford could approach major flood
levels, but confidence on that is low at this time.
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.

...Moderate flooding possible this weekend into early next week...
.The combination of heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt in areas
that still have significant snowpack will bring many streams out
of their banks by Saturday into Saturday night. The larger rivers
will see rises this weekend into the beginning of next week with
minor to moderate flooding beginning by Sunday. Larger rivers
like the Saint John might not crest until Monday. There remains
uncertainty as to whether any of the rivers will reach major
flood stage, but that is still a possibility.

The Flood Watch continues for
* A portion of Far Northern Maine, including the following
areas, Northeast Aroostook and Northwest Aroostook.
* From 2 AM EDT Saturday through Monday evening
* The combination of rainfall of 1 to 2 inches along with
significant snowmelt will lead to significant rises on rivers
and streams this weekend into early next week. Any rivers that
still have ice will likely see the ice get flushed out this
weekend as the flows increase. Until all of the ice gets flushed
out of the rivers, there will be the risk of local ice jams and
ice jam flooding. By late in the weekend and into early next
week, attention will turn to open water flooding.
* There is high confidence that smaller streams and rivers will
flood, in addition to low lying areal flooding on Saturday
into Saturday night due to locally heavy rainfall. There is
also high confidence that some areas will experience minor to
moderate open water flooding. Confidence is not as high as to
whether any areas will reach major flooding, but it is still
possible.

of moderate to heavy rainfall expected. The rain will gradually
taper off throughout the day on Saturday.
* In addition, warm temperatures has led to snowmelt over the
higher terrain and temperatures will remain above freezing right
through Saturday. Thus additional snowmelt will occur and
combined with total rainfall amounts in the 1 to 2 inch
range...much sharper rises on rivers and streams will take place
overnight tonight into Saturday.
* Mainstem rivers most at risk for flooding include the

weekend.

Persons with interests in flood prone areas along Lake Champlain
should take action to protect their property. The combination of
wind and wave action will enhance flood effects on windward
