Most of New Hampshire Under Flood Watch until 11 PM Tonight

Hillsborough, Belknap, Rockingham, Merrimack, Southern Carroll and Strafford Counties are under a Flood Watch until 11 PM tonight. The National Weather Service says that "widespread rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is expected across the watch area during today into this evening. However the potential exists for some areas to receive 3 to 5 inches of rain. These rainfall amounts will result in sharp rises on rivers and streams today. A few rivers may approach or even exceed bankfull where locally heavier rainfall occurs. In addition, flooding of urban and poor-drainage areas is likely."

Cheshire County is under a Hazardous Weather Outlook which according to the National Weather Service could result in "embedded periods of heavy rain. May result in some minor urban and small stream or poor-drainage flooding today."
