Good afternoon,
Hurricane Teddy continues moving north-northwest at 9 mph. The storm will turn toward the north tonight, moving toward Nova Scotia for late Tuesday or Tuesday night.
A Gale Watch has been issued for Tuesday for our eastern and southeastern outer wates, and for Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket Sound.
The storm will pass approximately 400 miles east of the Massachusetts coastline on Tuesday. The main impact will be for our Marine community. We have high confidence in dangerously high seas of 12 and 18 feet developing across our eastern Massachusetts coastal waters along with northerly wind gusts of 35 to 45 knots. The worst of the conditions will be across the waters east of the outer-Cape and Nantucket.
Northerly wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph are possible across Cape Cod and Nantucket Tuesday, which may require the issuance of a Wind Advisory. No rain is expected from Hurricane Teddy in southern New England.
We have attached the expected track of Hurricane Teddy along with our current wave height and wind gust forecasts. The two max wind gust charts show (1) over land, and (2) over water.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
