Areal Flood Warning
Statement as of 4:06 PM EDT on August 8, 2008

The National Weather Service in Gray Maine has issued a

* Flood Warning for...
northeastern Sullivan County in central New Hampshire...
southwestern Grafton County in northern New Hampshire...

* until 700 PM EDT

* at 404 PM EDT National Weather Service radar showed thunderstorms
continuing to dump heavy rain over west central New Hampshire... over
northern Sullivan and southern Grafton counties. Radar estimates
rainfall amounts of over an inch in this area. The thunderstorms are
not moving very much so additional heavy rain of one or two inches
is likely... with some locally higher amounts possible. This much
rain... on top of very wet soil and with streams running high... will
lead to flooding and Road washouts.

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... don't drown... it could
save your life!

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams... highways and underpasses. Additionally... country
roads and lowlands along the banks of creeks... streams and other low
lying areas are subject to flooding. Campers should move to higher
ground to avoid swollen streams and creeks.

Please report high water to the National Weather Service by calling
toll free... 1-877-633-6772... when you can do so safely.

Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 3:25 PM EDT on August 8, 2008

... Flash Flood Watch now in effect until 11 PM EDT this evening...

The Flash Flood Watch is now in effect for

* portions of western Maine and New Hampshire... including the
following areas... in western Maine... Androscoggin... coastal
Cumberland... coastal Waldo... coastal York... interior
Cumberland... interior Waldo... interior York... Kennebec...
Knox... Lincoln... northern Oxford... Sagadahoc and southern
Oxford. In New Hampshire... Belknap... coastal Rockingham...
interior Rockingham... Merrimack... northern Carroll... northern
Coos... northern Grafton... southern Carroll... southern Coos...
southern Grafton... Strafford and Sullivan.

* Until 11 PM EDT this evening

* there is the potential for flash flooding through this evening
... with localized rainfall amounts in excess of two inches
possible. While not all locations in the watch area will receive
this much rainfall... areas that do may experience rapidly rising
waters which can quickly catch motorists off guard.

* The most prone areas for flooding are central New Hampshire
where heavy rain over the past few days has kept rivers and
streams very high. Soils are saturated which has lead to many
landslides over the past few days.

Those in the watch area should be alert in case a warning is
issued today. Do not drive through flooded roadways... as water
may be deeper than you think.

Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... your local media... or
go to www.Weather.Gov/gray for further updates on this weather
situation.

Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 4:56 PM EDT on August 8, 2008

... Strong thunderstorms will impact Merrimack County and Grafton
County through 600 PM EDT...

At 456 PM EDT National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated a
cluster of strong thunderstorms centered along a line extending from
Ellsworth to Sutton... or along a line extending from 7 miles north of
Plymouth to 7 miles southeast of New London... moving east at 8 mph.
This cluster of strong thunderstorms will affect areas in and around
Sutton... Hebron... Ellsworth... Danbury... Wellington State Park...
Alexandria... Winslow State Park... Rollins State Park... Andover and
Plymouth through 600 PM EDT.

Hail up to one half inch in diameter... heavy downpours... excessive
cloud-to-ground lightning and gusty winds of 35 to 45 mph can be
expected.

Due to the slow movement of this cluster of storms some minor
flooding in some low lying areas may occur along the path of these
storms.

Please report hail or strong winds to the National Weather Service by
calling toll free... 1-877-633-6772... when you can do so safely.
