Cloudy. Showers likely with patchy drizzle and fog this morning...then a chance of showers this afternoon. Highs in the mid 50s. Light and variable winds. Chance of rain 70 percent.
Mostly cloudy in the evening...then becoming partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 40s. Light and variable winds...becoming northwest around 10 mph after midnight.
Monday
Sunny. Highs in the lower 50s. Northwest winds around 10 mph.
The combination of a persistent onshore flow... high astronomical tides and strong wave action may result in splashover around the time of high tide this morning.
The strongest onshore winds have moved northeast of the area... but the strong winds Saturday afternoon and evening created large waves across the Gulf of Maine. The strong wave action will continue this morning... even as the winds have diminished.
High tide this morning occurs at 93o am in Portland. The predicted tide at that time in Portland is 10.6 ft... which is well below the flood stage of 12.0 ft. However... the large breaking waves near the coast around the time of high tide could produce splashover... especially in the most vulnerable northeast facing communities in southwest Maine and the sea coast of New Hampshire.
In addition... large breaking waves are expected along the coast from Seabrook to Rockland and Camden throughout the day.
