Good Morning Everyone, The National Hurricane Center has begun issuing advisories on Sub-Tropical Storm Melissa which was located about 200 miles south-southeast of Martha's Vineyard. The forecast takes Melissa slowly to the east northeast over the next couple of days, away from our area. See the attached graphic for more details. The impacts that we briefed earlier this morning (rain, strong winds, minor coastal flooding, and rough seas) are still valid. The storm's impacts will gradually ease tonight and Saturday as it pulls farther away from our region. At this time, we are continuing with our current headlines for wind and coastal flooding. No tropical headlines will be issued. If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat <https://nwschat.weather.gov/>, or by phone at 508.622.3280.
