The National Weather Service reported that the Androscoggin River reached flood stage, 13 feet, at 4:30 a.m. Friday and issued a flood watch through Sunday afternoon. Flooding in low areas was expected to be minimal Friday.
An inch or two of rain Sunday could lead to minor flooding but widespread issues are not expected. WGME graphic
A complex storm system will bring heavy precipitation Sunday to the interior areas of Maine. Heavy, wet snow is expected to start Saturday night in the foothills and mountain regions, then transition to heavy rain Sunday morning.
Heavy rain falling on already saturated ground will result in small stream and flash flooding, according to the NWS.
