TL;DR

Heavy rain in New Hampshire caused flooding, road closures, and power outages in the White Mountains and North Country regions. The combination of warm temperatures, rain, and winds melted the snowpack in the mountains, leading to rivers rising quickly and flooding roads. River levels continued to rise as rain fell, and some residents were asked to evacuate. The state's emergency operations center has been partially activated to support affected communities. Approximately 14,000 people were without power, and numerous cancellations and delays were reported in the White Mountains region.
