Flood — Merrimack, NH

May 31, 2025

Strong low pressure system brought widespread soaking rains to the region, with most areas total rainfall amounts generally 1-1.25, with locally higher amounts in southern and central New Hampshire. A pivot point of the storm system occurred between Milford and Contoocook, resulting in rainfall amounts between 2 to 4 inches. This caused a handful of road closures due to flooding as antecedent rainfall over the past month allowed for saturated soils.
