Low pressure tracked northeast along a stalled frontal boundary along the coast. Gale force southeasterly winds combined with the highest astronomical tides of the month to produce coastal flooding across the southwest coast of Maine. Nearshore waves built to eight feet off the coast during high tide and led to splash-over in York County. The storm surge values were minimal, however tropical moisture triggered extreme rainfall and runoff in local estuaries. The high tide at Portland was 12.13 ft
