Good morning everyone Hurricane Teddy 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. 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. 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. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!
