[Weather] [2019.09.07 6 AM] Final Hurricane Dorian Briefing for Emergency Management

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

Good morning everyone,

(corrected subject line)

Attached is the final briefing on Hurricane Dorian's impacts on southern
New England.

Overnight, we have had sustained winds of 42 mph at Wellfleet and gusts
from 50 to 63 mph from southern RI to Cape Cod.  Up to 2 to 2.5 inches of
rain was estimated by radar over Nantucket as of 6 AM with 1 to 2 inches
common across the rest of the Cape and Islands.  An additional 1 to 2
inches is possible on the outer Cape and Nantucket early this morning,
which could cause some poor drainage flooding.

There is the possibility of some minor coastal flooding around 8 AM...the
time of high tide...at Nantucket Harbor.  That's especially true if 2 feet
of surge occurs.  As of now, the surge was closer to 1.25 feet.

The rain will end by noon and the winds will gradually diminish with
clearing skies from west to east this afternoon. With the sunshine, there
could be brief renewed gusts of 25-30 mph late in the day.
