CONCORD, N.H. – New Hampshire is expected to receive another round of widespread rain starting late Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. A Flood Watch has been issued for Cheshire, Coos, Grafton and Sullivan counties through late Thursday night.
A Flood Watch means flooding is possible and everyone in the watch area should be prepared. A Flood Warning means flooding is imminent or already occurring and everyone in the warning area should take action and seek higher ground immediately.
The New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) urges residents and visitors to prepare now for possible flooding.

Do yourself and first responders a favor: stay off the water! Due to recent rainfall, area rivers and streams continue to run fast with swift water currents. The swift water can easily overturn kayaks, canoes, and other small vessels and overtake the best of swimmers. Once in the water, the strong currents will make it difficult to reach safety. #ReadyNH #BePrepared #BeSafe LLC
