The wider storm
On July 10th the remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl phased with a low pressure system out of the Great Lakes to bring multiple rounds of heavy rainfall to northern New England, including Maine and New Hampshire. The previous 3 days had brought a swatch of heavy rain just north of the White Mountains, saturating the ground and making it ideal for runoff. During the roughly 36 hour period, 3 to as much as 5 inches of rain fell across northern New Hampshire and Western Maine Mountains. This led to significant flash flooding around Littleton, New Hampshire, with sporadic flash flooding eastward into Maine.
Began near New Sharon (44.6364, -70.0006).
