Durham, N.H. - At 4:06 a.m, the New Hampshire posted a flood watch for southern ME and NH posing dangerous conditions for morning commuters.
Power outages in Bethlehem, Durham, Concord, Madison and New London were reported as of 8:25 a.m. Weather forecasters predict continued stormy weather this weekend, with between one to three inches of rain anticipated tonight alone.
Due to high winds expected to reach 38 mph, all residence hall sites on the UNH campus have lost power. A flood watch remains in effect by The National Weather Service for Southern Maine.
President Huddleston will notify the UNH community of curtailed operations immediately after a final recommendation is made by the Vice Pres. of Finance and Administration.
But the town of Durham is still feeling the effects of the heavy rainfall, expected to taper off later this evening. Slower morning commutes and widespread power outages pose problems for the community.
In the month of November, the rainiest month in New Hampshire, average temperatures reach 41.5 degrees which is 3.5 degrees above the average. 5.9 inches of precipitation was an expected average rainfall.
