Effective: Fri August 22, 2025, 2:33 AM
Expires: Fri August 22, 2025, 2:00 PM

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 6 to 10 feet and a high risk of dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding and splash over. * WHERE...In Maine, Coastal York, Coastal Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox and Coastal Waldo Counties. In New Hampshire, Coastal Rockingham County. * WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, from 6 AM this morning to 8 PM EDT Saturday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 10 PM this evening to 1 AM EDT Saturday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion.

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Large waves can present a danger to people on rocks above the water. Stay away from rock outcrops along the shoreline exposed to ocean waves...as waves can easily sweep people into the cold ocean water.

Special Weather Statement issued August 22 at 8:39AM EDT by NWS Gray ME

Effective: Fri August 22, 2025, 8:39 AM
Expires: Fri August 22, 2025, 7:00 PM

A very dry air mass and breezy conditions will combine with dead and dry fuels such as grass, leaves, and twigs to create the potential for uncontrolled fire spread across the coastal plain of Maine and southeast New Hampshire today. This afternoon, relative humidity values will decrease to low levels between 25 to 30 R.H. %. At the same time, north to northeast| winds between 10 to 15 mph with frequent gusts to 20 mph will continue to dry fuels and increase fire spread potential. Near the coast, a sea breeze will develop this afternoon with southeast winds gusting to 20 mph. Wind gusts are expected to diminish later this evening with increasing relative humidity values. Extra caution should be taken to prevent wildfires. Always consult with fire officials before engaging in any open burning activities and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Never leave an open fire unattended and always extinguish campfires completely before leaving.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
