PORTLAND (AP) — Officials in Maine say residents should continue to be vigilant about higher than normal tides and heavy rains that could bring flooding to coastal areas.
A city spokeswoman in the state’s largest city says Portland officials are advising citizens to avoid parking and traveling in areas of the city that are prone to flooding. City crews will monitor and barricade off streets if conditions necessitate it on Thursday.
Street flooding is possible because extreme rain could occur when stormwater and sewer systems are already burdened over capacity.
The tide to watch on Thursday is at 12:52 p.m.
