A Flood Warning means water levels above flood stage are imminent or may already be occurring. Persons along rivers and streams in the warned area should take immediate precautions to protect life and property. These forecasts are based on observed precipitation as well as forecast precipitation 24 hours into the future. Changes to the rainfall forecast, or any additional rainfall after 24 hours, may cause changes to these river forecasts. Additional information is available at www.weather.gov. The next statement will be issued by late tonight.

Doppler weather radar indicates bands of heavier snow showers that will move west from New Brunswick through Eastern and Southern Aroostook County over the next several hours. These snow showers will extend into Northern Penobscot County. The snow showers may reduce visibilities to less than a one half mile at times with a quick dusting of snow. Despite temperatures above freezing the heavier snow showers will quickly cover roads and sidewalks producing slippery conditions. Use caution when driving into the afternoon by slowing down and having your headlights on. Roads that may be impacted include the US Route 1, 1A, 2 and 2A corridors along with State Route 11.
