...WINDY CONDITIONS FOR THE SHORE AREAS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...


LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST TODAY AND
THEN CREEP SLOWLY NORTHWARD THROUGH THURSDAY. THE INTENSIFYING
LOW WILL MOVE TOWARDS A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WHICH WILL BE
MOVING OFF THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND. AS THE LOW MOVES CLOSER,
NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER THE REGION. OUR LATEST
FORECAST CALLS FOR GALE CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS WEDNESDAY AND PERSIST INTO THURSDAY. WIND GUSTS OVER 40 MPH
MAY OCCUR.

THE STRONG WINDS WILL CREATE A POUNDING SURF AND RESULT IN SOME
BEACH EROSION ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS. IT WILL BE DANGEROUS TO BE
OUT BOATING DURING THE MIDDLE AND LATER PARTS OF THIS WEEK.

TIDAL FLOODING MAY ALSO OCCUR WITH THE SYSTEM. THE PERSISTENT
NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS WILL CAUSE WATER LEVELS TO BECOME HIGHER
THAN NORMAL ALONG THE SHORE AREAS AND IN THE BACK BAYS. SINCE THE
STORM WILL BE ARRIVING JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER THE NEW MOON, THE
WATER LEVELS WILL ALREADY BE A BIT HIGHER THAN USUAL. IT WILL TAKE
LESS WIND AFFECTS TO PRODUCE TIDAL FLOODING. THE HIGHER OF THE TWO
DAILY TIDES WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 8 AM AND 10 AM ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY, SO ANY FLOODING WILL PROBABLY OCCUR AT THESE TIMES.

THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE MOVEMENT AND SPEED
OF THE STORM. IF YOU LIVE NEAR OR ALONG NEAR THE SHORE AREAS, IT
WOULD BE BEST TO KEEP INFORMED ABOUT THIS UPCOMING STORM BY
MONITORING FORECASTS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO
PREPARE FOR THE EFFECTS OF WINDS AND WATER FOR YOUR PROPERTY.
