Subtropical Storm Melissa continues to progress eastward into the western Atlantic waters well south of Nova Scotia, and will continue to move eastward into the northern Atlantic over the next few days. Local impacts across Southern New England have improved, and continued improvement trends are expected. Remaining impacts being from northerly wind gusts and seas on the waters. *Small Craft Advisories* remain in effect for most of the coastal and offshore waters.
