Flood in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire

Heavy rain with up to three inches in the local area caused overland flooding with standing water up to a foot deep reaches up to homes on Lake Outlet Rd. in Amherst.

A slow moving low pressure system tracked across the region between the 9th and the 10th. The region was vulnerable to flooding due to saturated ground conditions and elevated stream flows from days of on and off again rainfall. The event was drawn out with a fairly steady rain with rates <0.5/hr. There was a period of heavier rainfall as the system received jet enhancement as it lifted to the northeast. Rainfall amounts were measured between 2 and 3 inches, primarily across Hillsborough County New Hampshire. Some small streams came out of banks causing flooding around Milford, Amherst, and Lyndeborough.
