* WHAT....Minor to moderate coastal flooding possible. Up to one foot of inundation above ground level is possibly in low-lying areas near shorelines.

* WHERE...Coastal Hancock and Coastal Washington Counties.

* WHEN...From Sunday morning through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Inundation could affect locations such as Deer Isle Causeway, Oak Point Causeway on Deer Isle, Machias, Stonington, Winter Harbor, Bangor, Brewer, Milbridge, Swans Island, South Lubec and Eastport. Breaking waves will cause overtopping of exposed coastal roadways. Areas of concern include but are not limited to, Schoodic Point and Seawall Road. Road debris and minor road damage could close some roadways. Significant beach erosion from previous storms will make erosion prone areas more susceptible to increased erosion. Beach erosion is expected at locations such as Roque Bluffs.

* AFFECTED AREAS: COASTAL HANCOCK ... COASTAL WASHINGTON
