The Flood Watch continues for

* portions of western Maine and northern New Hampshire...
including the following areas... in western Maine... northern
Franklin... northern Oxford... southern Franklin and southern
Oxford. In northern New Hampshire... northern Carroll...
northern Coos... northern Grafton... southern Coos and southern
Grafton.

* Through 8 am Sunday morning

* twenty four hour rainfall amounts ending at 8 am this morning
have ranged from half an inch to one and a half inches across
northern New Hampshire and the mountains and foothills of
western Maine. However... for the past few days total amounts
have been significantly higher... 2 to 3 inches or more.
Another inch of rain can be expected over these areas over the
next 24 hours through 8 am Sunday. Some areas could see local
amounts of 1 1/2 to maybe 2 inches of rain over the next 24
hours. This amount of rain will cause significant rises on
rivers and streams with the potential for minor flooding.

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.

... Locally slippery conditions and scattered power outages possible
overnight into early Sunday morning due to a very late season
snow...

Low pressure continues to meander around just off the Maine coast.
Occasional precipitation continues to wrap back westward around
the low and into the mountains. This combined with an
unseasonably cold airmass in place is resulting in light
accumulating snowfall generally above 1500 feet elevation in
northern New Hampshire and northern Oxford County Maine. Snow
levels may occasionally lower to 800 feet or so overnight.
However... above that is mainly where we expect minor
accumulations... perhaps up to 3 inches in some spots. This may
result in locally slippery roadways as well as scattered power
outages due to the weight of the snow.
