Good afternoon

No significant changes to the track of Hurricane Teddy.  The storm is still expected to pass about 400 miles east of Massachusetts Tuesday night.  

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.

Pockets of minor coastal flooding & beach erosion appear likely during the Tuesday afternoon high tide cycle 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, significant coastal flooding is not expected. High surf & dangerous rip currents are expected on ocean exposed beaches.  In addition, given the large surf, viewing the large waves or fishing from jetties and/or piers can be very dangerous and is strongly discouraged.  A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect during Tuesday afternoon for the Massachusetts eastern coasts including Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard.

Northerly wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph are likely across Cape Cod and Nantucket Tuesday, thus a Wind Advisory remains in effect. No rain is expected from Hurricane Teddy in southern New England.
