Areal Flood Watch


... Flood Watch in effect through Sunday morning...

The National Weather Service in Caribou has issued a

* Flood Watch for portions of east central Maine... north central
Maine... northern Maine... southeast Maine and west central
Maine... including the following areas... in east central
Maine... central Penobscot... northern Penobscot and southern
Penobscot. In north central Maine... central Piscataquis...
northern Piscataquis and southern Piscataquis. In northern
Maine... northeast Aroostook... Northwest Aroostook and
southeast Aroostook. In southeast Maine... central Washington...
   interior Hancock and northern Washington. In west central
Maine... northern Somerset.

* Through Sunday morning.

* Rainfall of 1.5 to 2.5 inches has been observed across the area
during the past 48 hours with locally higher amounts. Additional
rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is expected from this afternoon
through Sunday morning... with the highest amounts across the
hilly upslope areas of central and northern Maine.

* The ground is already saturated in many areas... and the
additional heavy rainfall may cause smaller streams and creeks
to overflow their banks. Ponding of water is also expected on
roadways... and standing water is expected in low spots. Any
culverts that are plugged with debris may also flood. Main Stem
rivers are expected to see significant rises... but are not
expected to flood 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.
