[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning,

Following is an update on the ongoing strong to damaging wind event taking
place across Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

As of 430 AM, the advertised strong cold front was located across central
Massachusetts into extreme eastern Connecticut. This front will race
eastward and off the coast of eastern Massachusetts between 5-6 AM.
Damaging south winds remain possible ahead of the cold front, with a sharp
wind shift after the passage of the cold front. After the front clears in
entirety, focus will turn toward the strong west wind gusts behind it.

*Headlines*:

   - *High Wind Warnings* for eastern Massachusetts & Rhode Island
   continues through 6 AM this morning, and for the South Coast, Cape Cod and
   the Islands until 8 AM.  **Note*: *The High Wind Warnings will be
   replaced with a Wind Advisory to address the strong west wind gusts once
   the cold front has cleared the coast. This will be in effect until 4 PM
   today.
   - *Wind Advisory* for Worcester to Tolland Counties westward until 4 PM
   today. By this morning, all counties will be in this Wind Advisory.
   - *Storm Warnings* for Narragansett Bay, Boston Harbor, Cape Cod Bay,
   and Massachusetts/Ipswich Bays through 6 AM this morning.  **Note*:* Storm
   Warnings will be replaced with Gale Warnings once the cold front has
   cleared the coast. This will be in effect through Friday.
   - *Gale Warnings* in effect for the remaining coastal waters through
   Friday. By this morning, all waters will be in this Gale Warning.

   - *Timing and Peak Gusts:*

      morning across eastern counties. These west winds will remain gusty to

      - South gusts to 50-60 mph could still be possible through 6-8 AM in
      eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and toward Cape Cod and the
      Islands.
      - For the remainder of the morning into the afternoon, strong west
      wind gusts between 40 to 50 mph is expected. Diminishing trends to gusts
      are anticipated after 4 PM.
