...RAINFALL AND SNOWMELT MAY LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS

The combination of heavy rainfall and warm temperatures will
cause rapid snowmelt and bring many rivers to flood stage this
weekend. Minor flooding is likely and moderate flooding at a few
locations is possible.

moderate river flooding this weekend. A few locations on the
Connecticut River, as well as the Pemigewasset at Plymouth and
the Androscoggin River at Rumford could approach major flood
levels, but confidence on that remains low at this time.

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.
