Flood Watch issued December 11 at 3:13PM EST until December 12 at 7:00AM EST by NWS Gray ME
A widespread soaking rain will continue through tonight. Warm
temperatures will melt some of the snowpack, raising streamflows.
Cold air on the backside of the system will slow runoff on Thursday
and end overland flooding, however, river responses could last
through the end of the week.
* 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,

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.
