As per the final NHC advisory, Post-Tropical Storm Elsa is
expected to continue along its northeastward trajectory, moving

northeastern Maine, the risk of flash and urban flooding will
remain for the region through the early morning hours. Gusty winds
will also be possible over the next few hours before subsiding
with Elsa's departure.

This will be the last Storm Summary issued by the Weather
