Good morning everyone, 

There were no significant changes to the track of Hurricane Teddy or impacts to southern New England with this update.  A High Wind Warning has been issued for Nantucket. The storm will pass about 350 miles east of Massachusetts tonight.  

The main impact will be for the Marine community.  High confidence in high seas of 15 to 25 feet on the outer waters east and southeast of Cape Cod and the Islands. Northerly winds will gust 40 to 50 kt in this area.  A Storm Warning is in effect on these waters, while a Gale Warning is up on most other waters.  Block Island Sound, Narragansett Bay, and Boston Harbor have Small Craft Advisories (see attached graphic). 

Widespread minor coastal flooding & beach erosion are likely during this afternoon's high tide  along the eastern MA coast and particularly across the north facing sides of Cape Cod and Nantucket. While some typically vulnerable shoreline roads may become flooded within a few hours of the high tide. High surf & dangerous rip currents are expected on ocean exposed beaches.  A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect this afternoon for the Massachusetts eastern coasts including Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.

Northerly wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph are likely across Cape Cod and up to 60 mph on Nantucket today, thus a Wind Advisory remains in effect for most locations and a High Wind Warning has been issued for Nantucket. No rain is expected.
