| Episode Narrative |
Low pressure formed on the triple point of a slow moving occlusion over southern New England on the 2nd of June. An upper trough moving in from the west significantly intensified this system as it slowly moved off Cape Cod on the 3rd of June. This unusually deep system tapped tropical moisture as it slowly moved east through the Gulf of Maine on the 3rd and 4th of June. Heavy rain caused rivers and streams in Maine to rise above flood stage in many locations, generally in southern and central portions of western Maine. Rainfall totals across this area from the 2nd through the 4th ranged from 3 to 8 inches with highest amounts in coastal and southern interior sections and a secondary maximum in the foothills. |

Heavy rain caused flooding on the Kennebec River at Skowhegan (flood stage 35,000 cfs), which crested at 51,090 cfs. |
