Wind/Coastal Flood & Fire Weather Coordination Message #1 – Tuesday 9/22/20 – Strong Wind/Coastal Flood/Fire Weather Potential
Hello to all…
..Hurricane Teddy will pass well offshore of Southern New England but the gradient between Teddy and High Pressure over Southern New England will bring strong to damaging winds for Cape Cod and the Islands with strong wind gusts over East and South Coastal Massachusetts along with high surf and the potential for minor coastal flooding at the time of high tide Tuesday Afternoon. While winds will be less in the interior, fire weather will be a concern due to dry conditions, low humidity and breezy conditions..
..A High Wind Warning is now in effect for Nantucket through 11 PM Tuesday Evening for sustained winds of 30-40 MPH with gusts to 60 MPH. A Wind Advisory is in effect for Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard from 9 AM to 8 PM Tuesday for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts to 50-55 MPH. A Wind Advisory is in effect for Eastern and Plymouth Counties for sustained winds of 20-30 MPH with gusts of 40-50 MPH. Other coastal areas could see wind gusts near 40 MPH today. These winds will cause isolated to scattered pockets of tree and wire damage and isolated power outages..
