A weak south to southeasterly flow across New England coincided with the highest astronomical tides of the month and caused minor coastal flooding. There was very little wave action with this system which helped mitigate any problems. Nevertheless, a storm surge of around a half foot (0.61 feet) occurred. Minor flooding occurred along low lying roads along Brown Avenue and Island Path in Hampton.
