National Weather Service Gray ME
313 PM EST Wed Dec 11 2024

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by heavy rain, snowmelt, and ice jams is
  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,
  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 Thursday morning.

* IMPACTS...Heavy rainfall rates in combination with snowmelt late
  tonight could trigger flash flood conditions.  The area of
  greatest concern is in the foothills where the combination of rain
  and snowmelt will be highest. In the mountains the colder and
  drier snowpack will limit the flood extent, but isolated ice jams
  and rapid runoff from area hills could cause localized flooding.
  Rapid rises in small streams is likely.

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.
