What happened
The episode as NWS GYX wrote it up.
A cold front moved through Maine on the afternoon of April 27th. Low pressure developed on the front along the coast of Maine late in the day and produced copious amounts of rainfall across the area into the morning of the 28th. Rainfall amounts of over 4 inches were common in Waldo and Knox Counties. Cushing received 7.85 inches, West Rockport received 6.63 inches, Camden received 5.28 inches, and Sedgewick received 4.13 inches. This event and the rainfall event of the 24th and 25th caused many rivers and streams to rise over their banks flooding and washing out roads. Many roads were closed which caused a major disruption to travel.The Presumpscot River at Westbrook rose above the flood stage at 8:30 pm on the 27th due to releases of water from a previous event and remained above flood stage until 1:00 am on the 30th, reaching a crest of 21.20 feet at 12:30 pm on the 28th.The Kennebec River at Skowhegan rose above the flood flow of 35,000 cfs at 3:30 am on the 25th due to the rainfall event of April 24th and 25th and remained above flood stage until 5:30 pm on the 29th. It reached a crest of 68,200 at 12:00 am on the 29th. The Kennebec River at North Sidney rose above the flood stage of 17 feet at 9:00 am on the 28th and remained above flood stage until 10:30 am on the 30th, reaching a crest of 21.79 feet at 3:30 am on the 29th. The Kennebec River at Augusta rose above the flood stage of 13 feet at 5:00 am on the 28th and remained above flood stage until 3:15 pm on the 30th, cresting at 18.50 feet at 7:15 am on the 29th.The Androscoggin River at Auburn was above the flood stage of 13 feet from 11:00 pm on the 28th to 10:30 pm on the 29th and reached a crest of 13.86 feet at 10:00 am on the 29th.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 27, 9:47 PM EST, 3 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAY ME 1047 PM EDT WED APR 27 2005 .SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)... ZONE FORECASTS WERE UPDATED TO DROP THE FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...AS WELL AS ADJUST THE RAIN CHANCES. CURRENTLY...THE BEST DEEP LIFT WITH THE WARM AIR ADVECTION IS SITTING ACROSS CENTRAL MAINE. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES HERE. TO THE SOUTHWEST...THE DEEP LIFT HAS EXITED...AND MOSTLY LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE IS LEFT. CONVECTION WITH THE UPPER LOW IS FIRING ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW YORK AND WESTERN VERMONT. AT THE SURFACE...A WARM FRONT SITS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND... WITH AN OCCLUSION ACROSS THE HUDSON VALLEY. CONVECTION IS FIRING ON THE OCCLUSION AT THIS TIME. WINDS ARE STARTING TO BACK OFF AS THE BEST GRADIENT IS LIFTING ACROSS CENTRAL MAINE. WINDS HAVE ALSO BACKED TO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE GRADIENT RELAXES. FOR TONIGHT...THE BEST LIFT SLOWLY EXITS THE FORECAST AREA. THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL EXIT ACROSS THE PENOBSCOT VALLEY AFTER MIDNIGHT. BEFORE THEN...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE ANOTHER INCH OR SO WITH THIS ACTIVITY. WATCHING THE CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHWEST AS WELL. WOULD EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO DIE OFF AS IT REACHES A MORE STABLE ENVIRONMENT. EVEN IF THIS ACTIVITY REACHES SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE... THIS AREA DID NOT GET AS MUCH RAIN AS NORTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE OR WESTERN MAINE. FOR THIS REASON...THE FLOOD WATCH WAS DROPPED. THE RAIN CHANCES WERE ALSO MODIFIED FOR THURSDAY...TO ACCOUNT FOR THE CHANGES MADE TO THE TONIGHT PORTION OF THE FORECAST. WINDS AND TEMPERATURES APPEAR TO BE IN LINE...AND WERE NOT CHANGED MUCH IN THE LATEST UPDATE. ON THE COASTAL WATERS...WINDS ARE STARTING TO DROP OFF AS THE GRADIENT RELAXES...AND THE BEST MIXING IN THE HEAVY RAIN TRANSLATES EASTWARD. MAINTAINED THE GALE WARNING UNTIL THE STRONGEST WINDS PASS MISM1...BUT WINDS SHOULD DROP QUICKLY TO BELOW SMALL CRAFT LEVELS AFTER MIDNIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST. THE COMBINATION OF ROUGH SEAS AND HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES AND VERY ROUGH SEAS PROMPTED THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING ISSUED EARLIER. TIDES RUNNING NEAR 1.5 FEET ABOVE NORMAL NEAR THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE...AS WELL AS THE STRONG WAVE ACTION...SHOULD RESULT IN WATER ON ROADS ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE SACO AND KENNEBUNK. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 744 PM EDT WED APR 27 2005) SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)... A ZONE FORECAST UPDATE WAS ISSUED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE HEAVIEST RAIN MOVING OUT OF THE SOUTHERNMOST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. IN ADDITION...WINDS WERE BEEFED UP...AS THE WINDS NEAR 40 KNOTS AT 1000 FEET ARE BEING DRAGGED TO THE SURFACE BY THE HEAVY RAIN. ON THE COASTAL WATERS...A GALE WARNING WAS RAISED AS THE HEAVY RAINS BROUGHT STRONG WINDS TO THE SURFACE. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 336 PM EDT WED APR 27 2005) SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)...PROBLEM IN SHORT TERM CONTINUES TO BE HEAVY RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. FLOOD WATCHES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS ENTIRE AREA THROUGH TOMORROW EVENING WITH GREATEST THREAT OVER MAINE PORTION OF FORECAST AREA AND EASTERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. EXPECT TO ISSUE FLOOD WARNINGS FOR THE PRESUMPSCOT...CARRABASSETT... AND ANDROSCOGGIN RIVERS SHORTLY...AND CONTINUE THE FLOOD WARNING FOR THE KENNEBEC. HEAVY RAIN WILL TAPER OFF TO SCATTERED SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT AND THEN GRADUALLY END FROM SW TO NE THURSDAY. COASTAL FLOOD WATCH WILL ALSO CONTINUE OVER SW MAINE COAST FOR HIGH TIDE EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)... A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRES WILL SLOWLY EXIT THROUGH THE GULF OF MAINE THU NIGHT ALLOWING CLEARING CONDS. A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRES WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA FRI. A WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND FROM THE S FRI NIGHT AND SAT AS LOW PRES MOVES N THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES SO SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BUT NOT SO SURE ON TIMING. SUNDAY A COLD FRONT MOVES THRU NEW ENGLAND WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO NEXT WEEK...BUT CONSIDERING CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT TO CONTINUE AND COLD POOL OVER THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK CANT TOTALLY RULE OUT THE CHANCE OF AFTN INSTBLTY. AVIATION...IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TONIGHT. CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IMPROVING DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. MARINE...WILL CONTINUE WITH STRONG SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY OVERNIGHT... BUT WILL NEED TO MONITOR AS WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE CLOSE TO GALE FORCE THROUGH EARLY MORNING. && .GYX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
