AUGUSTA, Maine - Federal weather forecasters say Maine remains at higher-than-normal risk for flooding over the next two weeks.
Officials say river levels and stream flows are above normal because of melting snow, and that could present a problem with a rainstorm forecast for the coming week.
The River Flow Advisory Commission held a conference call Thursday, even as ice jams were creating problems around Allagash and Caribou in northern Maine.
That Allagash ice jam prompted a flood warning from the National Weather Service. Minor flooding also was being reported near the Caribou and Fairfield town lines.
