PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — An intense storm has dumped more than 3 inches rain across parts of southern and midcoast Maine and nearly a foot of snow across western parts of the state.

The National Weather Service said Thursday that heavy rain and snow would continue falling overnight into Friday. Meteorologist Tom Hawley said by the time the storm winds down, some areas in southern Maine could see more than 7 inches of rain, while some higher elevations in the western Maine mountains will get more than 2 feet of snow.

The weather service has issued flood warnings for much of southern and midcoast Maine, with high wind warnings issued for the entire coast.

Central Maine Power said about 7,500 homes and businesses were without power Thursday afternoon.

Coastal flooding was expected Thursday night Friday morning.
