High tide on Wednesday and Saturday brought storm surges that inundated streets for several hours, but did not impact overall Unitil gas service, but did submerge meters and regulators.
Coastal flooding on Saturday could rival Wednesday's. Even though the storm is weaker, the tides will be higher overall. Winds will gust up to 60 mph at the coast and 45 mph inland on Saturday morning.
Police shut down Ocean Boulevard late Wednesday morning during high tide just before 10 a.m. as 1-3 feet of water covered the road thanks to 11-foot waves.
Precipitation begins as snow Tuesday afternoon mostly in interior areas but those closest to the coast get just rain, according to meteorologist Jon Palmer at the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
Maine Governor Janet Mills signed a law in May requiring the operator of a vehicle weighing under 10,000 pounds to take "reasonable measures to prevent snow or ice on the vehicle from falling off the vehicle while it is being operated on a public way."
