Maine Flood of 1987

A pair of spring storms occurring in March and April 1987 combined with snow-melt to produce record or major flooding in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
==History==
February and March had generally been clear and dry. In the days prior to the first storm, temperatures throughout New England had generally been in the 50s and lower 60s. The result was that in southern New England, much of the snow-pack from December and January had disappeared except in the higher hills. However in Maine, fairly significant snow-packs were still present in many areas and the warming temperatures had produced a snow-pack ripe for melting. Five to 6 inch snow water equivalent were not uncommon, with some measurements still of 10 inches being recorded at the end of March.〔http://www.erh.noaa.gov/nerfc/historical/apr1987.htm〕
A storm that had lashed the midwest with heavy snow and winds over the midwest United States spun off a slow moving low pressure system that moved across New England. The southeasterly winds produced significant Orthographic lift in the mountains of Maine and New Hampshire significantly increasing the precipitation totals on the east side of these mountain ridges. The highest rainfall accumulations recorded were 8.30 inches at Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire, and 7.3 inches at Blanchard, Maine.
The results of this first storm were mainly focused on Maine. The Kennebec River basin was most severely impacted with record flows on the mainstem and its primary tributaries—the Carrabassett River, Sandy River (Kennebec River), and Sebasticook River. The Piscataquis River experienced flows 50% greater than any measured before. Many other rivers in Maine—Penobscot, Saco, and Androscoggin—all suffered significant flooding; however, flows were generally below records that had occurred earlier in the century.〔http://www.erh.noaa.gov/nerfc/historical/mar1936.htm〕 Only one flood related death was known to occur.〔Kennebec Journal, Saturday, April 4th, 1987, Scott Gibson, John Toole, The Flood April 1987〕 In addition to the major flooding in Maine, moderate flooding also occurred within the Merrimack River basin as well the Connecticut River basin.〔http://www.erh.noaa.gov/nerfc/historical/apr1987.htm〕
