Minor Flooding Expected in New Hampshire Rivers Following Heavy Rainfall
MANCHESTER, N.H. — New Hampshire is bracing for another wave of heavy rainfall, leading to anticipated minor flooding along several rivers, particularly affecting the Souhegan River and Saco River. As river levels rise through Saturday afternoon, some areas may experience flooding alongside their banks, with crests expected Saturday night.
In Amherst, the Boston Post Road is currently closed due to flooding, while Conway residents are warned that the Saco River could reach minor flood stage by Saturday evening. Notable locations susceptible to water accumulation include Transvale Acres, Moat Brook Bridge, and parts of E. Road. Campgrounds along the Suncook River are also advised to prepare for potential flooding, with rising waters forecasted to reach Bachelder Road in Allenstown.
The Warner River near Davisville and the Piscataquog River in Goffstown are also likely to reach minor flood stage, though impacts to local roads and properties are expected to be minimal. As the day progresses, heavy rainfall is scheduled to taper off into scattered showers, transitioning into a drier weather pattern for Mother’s Day and the upcoming week.
Local residents are encouraged to stay informed and utilize the WMUR app for real-time weather updates and alerts tailored to their locations. With floodwaters predicted to recede by Sunday, the community is urged to remain vigilant during this weather event.
