AUGUSTA – Heavy rain moved across some central and southern parts of Maine on Friday, with close to 4 inches falling in Durham and Auburn, according to the National Weather Service.

One band of rain moved into northeast areas Friday afternoon, with more expected into the weekend.

Flood advisories were posted for parts of the state, and several roads in the southern part of the state were closed by flooding.

Freeport’s Desert Road washed out and took a water main with it, causing much of the town to go without water service. Route 88 between the Yarmouth and Cumberland town lines was closed in both directions, and portions of U.S. Route 1 were also underwater in Freeport, WCSH-TV reported.

The Maine Emergency Management Agency warned that road conditions were changing rapidly and open roads could become flooded and closed quickly.

Just 1 foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the road, MEMA warned.
