September 29, 2020 – Wind Advisory and Gale Warning in Effect Tonight and Tomorrow

A Wind Advisory is in effect over portions of northern Connecticut, all of Rhode Island including the city of Providence and all eastern Massachusetts, including Boston and Worcester as well as Cape Cod and the Islands.

A period of strong to perhaps damaging winds may impact the region late tonight into early Wednesday morning along with heavy downpours.  With these higher wind gusts, we may see some isolated damage and power outages.

Strongest winds are expected to occur between 2:00 AM and 10:00 AM on Wednesday morning over portions of northern Connecticut, all of Rhode Island including the city of Providence and all eastern Massachusetts, including Boston and Worcester as well as Cape Cod and the Islands.

Strong winds with gusts up to 50 mph combined with trees remaining fully leaved and heavy downpours may result in isolated wind damage and power outages.

Gale Warning is in effect over all Massachusetts and Rhode Island waters from midnight tonight to noon on Wednesday.

Strong winds will cause hazardous seas which could capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility.

Barnstable County Regional Emergency Preparedness Committee will continue monitor this event.
