Low pressure deepened to 993 mb off the New England coastline during a period of high astronomical tides. This produced gale force winds along the southwest Maine seacoast. This system produced 12 foot near-shore waves and a storm surge of over a foot on strong northeasterly gales. Minor flooding occurred near Commercial Street in Portland. Roads required plowing of debris in Saco and York.
