...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...Portions of Maine, including the following areas,
  Androscoggin, Central Interior Cumberland, Central Somerset,
  Coastal Cumberland, Coastal Waldo, Coastal York, Interior
  Cumberland Highlands, Interior Waldo, Interior York, Kennebec,
  Knox, Lincoln, Northern Franklin, Northern Oxford, Sagadahoc,
  Southern Franklin, Southern Oxford and Southern Somerset and New
  Hampshire, including the following areas, Belknap, Cheshire,
  Coastal Rockingham, Eastern Hillsborough, Interior Rockingham,
  Merrimack, Northern Carroll, Northern Coos, Northern Grafton,
  Southern Carroll, Southern Coos, Southern Grafton, Strafford,
  Sullivan and Western And Central Hillsborough.

* WHEN...Through Tuesday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...The combination of rain and snowmelt will cause small
  streams to swiftly rise, particularly in the mountain regions.
  Elsewhere, excessive runoff could overwhelm culverts and overfill
  low lying areas. Lingering river ice could constrict streamflows
  causing unexpected rises. Any river ice should be monitored
  closely for ice jams.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Morning rain will cause area streams to rise throughout the
    day, but the real flood threat comes with a second and more
    significant round of rainfall overnight.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor the latest forecast and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
