For any local maximum of $f(t)$ located at $t_0$ in the interior of $T$, we provide general formulae and asymptotic approximations for both the tail distribution of the height of a local maximum $\\mathbb{P}\\{f(t_0)>u | t_0 \\text{is a local maximum of} f(t) \\}$ and the overshoot distribution of a local maximum $\\mathbb{P}\\{f(t_0)>u+v | t_0 \\text{is a local maximum of} f(t) \\text{and} f(t_0)>v\\}$.
