[Weather] NWS Boston Emergency Management Briefing [9/22 AM] - Significant Marine Event Today

[BOX Operations - NOAA Service Account]

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.
