Pat Maloit with the National Weather Service in Caribou says some roads are impassable, though signs may or may not be up, but if there is water on the road, do not try to drive through it.
“That's the most important message regardless of whether it's a river flood, flash flood, aerial flood...doesn't matter,” Maloit says.
A flood watch remains in effect for much of northern Maine. A flash flood warning is in effect for southeastern Aroostook County.
Some affected river systems are the Swift River, Androscoggin, Kennebec, Big Black River, Fish River, St. John, Penobscot, and Mattawamkeag Rivers.
In New Hampshire minor flooding along the Connecticut River is expected at North Stratford and Dalton. Additional flooding is expected from the Saco River at Conway, the Androscoggin River at Gorham and the Pemigewasset at Woodstock.
Among the locations in Vermont where flooding is possible include the Winooski River at Essex Junction and the East Branch of the Passumpsic River in Caledonia County.
