Rivers Rising as Snowmelt Continues in Maine

Federal, state and industry officials are meeting again to discuss the spring flood risk in Maine as concern shifts from rising river levels to the threat of wildfires.

The River Flow Advisory Commission is hosting a discussion Thursday following wildfire warnings prompted by a combination of dry conditions and warming temperatures.

So far, snowmelt has been steady but weather forecasters continue to keep an eye on Maine's rivers. A combination of heavy rain and warm temperatures could lead to flooding. (AP)
