Sunday
Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of showers. Highs in the upper 50s. Light and variable winds.
The combination of onshore winds... increasing astronomical tides and building seas may result in splashover around the time of high tide tonight and again tomorrow morning.
High tide tonight occurs in Portland at 916 PM. While the predicted tide will be 9.5 ft... strong wave action whipped by onshore winds may result in splashover in the more vulnerable northeast facing communities in southwest Maine and on the seacoast of New Hampshire.
The high tide tomorrow morning occurs in Portland at 930 am. Predicted tide height is 10.6 ft. Although winds will be decreasing... they will still be onshore. Splashover in some of the more vulnerable northeast facing locations in Cumberland and York counties in Maine and Rockingham County in New Hampshire is possible.
In addition... large breaking waves are expected along the coast from Seabrook to Rockland and Camden.
