BANGOR (AP) – The National Weather Service is using a new technological tool this spring to help monitor levels of the St. John River in the northern Maine town of Allagash.
The weather service has installed a webcam – a camera that posts images on the Internet – to monitor water river levels where a bridge crosses the river at Dickey Village.
Weather service hydrologist Mark Turner says the camera updates every 20 minutes to give Internet users a view of the movement of the river.
The National Weather Service is expecting widespread minor flooding in Aroostook County this spring, but all was quiet Thursday.
