Areal Flood Warning
Statement as of 3:42 PM EDT on July 24, 2008


The National Weather Service in Gray Maine has issued a

* Flood Warning for...
western Belknap County in central New Hampshire...
eastern Sullivan County in central New Hampshire...
Merrimack County in central New Hampshire...
Grafton County in northern New Hampshire...
southwestern Carroll County in northern New Hampshire...

* until 930 PM EDT

* at 337 PM EDT Doppler radar showed heavy showers and thunderstorms
moving north across the same area of western New Hampshire. Radar
showed rainfall estimates of 1 to 2 inches so far. Heavy showers and
thunderstorms will continue to move across western New Hampshire
through the rest of the afternoon. Rainfall may exceed an inch an
hour with total rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches possible in many
areas through the course of the afternoon.

Additional rainfall is expected into the evening hours and this
could push totals to over 4 inches in some areas.

This much rainfall will cause small streams to leave their banks.
Ponding of water on roads... especially at intersections and
underpasses will lead to localized flooding.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.

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