.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
High Wind and Coastal Flood Watches in effect for the coastline  
Friday and Saturday.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Dry, cool, and breezy weather continues through Thursday.  

- An anomalous early season strong coastal storm will impact the
  region with strong winds and coastal flooding/erosion Friday
  and Saturday, especially eastern MA.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry, cool, and breezy weather continues through 
Thursday. 

Not much change to our weather through Thursday. A sprawling
high pressure remains over western Canada. Expecting gusty east
to northeast winds to continue Thursday.

KEY MESSAGE 2...An anomalous early season strong coastal storm
will impact the region with strong winds and coastal 
flooding/erosion Friday and Saturday, especially eastern MA.

Unfortunately at 48-72 hours out, models still displaying large
a spread in track of ocean low along with its accompanying strong
wind fields. The EC/UKMET and EC-AIFS are on the western side of 
the envelope of solutions, with a surface low track westward
toward NJ coast. Meanwhile, the NAM, GFS and its AI member
(AIGFS) are farther east toward a Cape Cod track. Given the time 
range is still 48+ hours out, a blend/probabilistic approach is 
more sound than a deterministic path. With that said, here is 
our info regarding each hazard: 

Strong Winds...forecast based on following the 90 percentile of 
the NBM, with 45+ mph wind gusts begin to overspread coastal
areas of RI and eastern MA early Friday, then peaking late
Friday into Saturday. This appears to be the window of greatest 
wind impacts. Given it's only late September and trees are fully
leaved, the wind threshold to bring down large branches and
limbs is noticeably lower than winter. Past experience supports 
G40-45 mph is sufficient this time of year for wind impacts,
including disruptions of power. Therefore, we will hoist a high 
wind watch for the entire coastline of MA/RI, with the highest 
probs of impact, including power interruption is across the Cape
and Islands, including BID and Cape Ann. We realize winds may 
fall short of the watch/warning threshold of 58+ mph, but again,
the threshold is lower this time of year (40-45mph) given fully
leaved trees. Hence, basing this watch on impacts, not hard 
core wind thresholds. Timing, strongest winds somewhere in the 
Friday/Saturday time frame. Winds don't completely drop off 
Sunday/Monday, just not as strong as the low weakens. 

Ferry travelers to Boston, Nantucket, Marthas Vineyard and Block 
Islands, should check in advance with ferries as service
interruptions are likely, especially Friday and Saturday given
timing of peak winds. 

Coastal Flooding...

Long duration of 40-50 kt northeast flow (possibly gusts up 60 kt 
over coastal waters) directed towards the coastline Friday and 
Saturday, will pile up lots of water along the coastline and given 
the duration of the wind event, water will struggle to evacuate 
seaward, hence, adding to surge values, which may be somewhat 
underdone due to this affect. Our surge forecast was based on the 
ETSS and Steven's Institute, which offers 1.5-2.0 ft for high tides 
Fri and Sat. Verification could turn out to be up to 2.5 ft based on 
reasoning above. Given rising astro tides, (peaking early next week) 
combined with this surge, high likely for at least minor coastal 
flooding along the entire MA coastline from MVY/ACK/CC/Plymouth/BOS 
to NH border. If more westward solutions of UKMET/EC and its AI 
models, could be some inundation and erosion for RI coastline. Stay 
tuned. Greatest risk for moderate flooding is south of Boston to 
Cape Cod and Islands during the late Fri and Sat high tide cycles. 
However, given the duration of large waves pounding the coastline, 
seawalls and eroding sand dunes over multiple tide cycles, coastal 
erosion could tip the scales for impacts to be moderate or higher. 
Hence, we think this warrants a coastal flood watch. 

Rainfall...12z ensembles from EC/GFS and Canadian all have low
probs of 2-4" of rain across eastern MA. However, this is spread
out over 3 days. Thus, not expecting any flooding, other than
nuisance type roadway ponding. Given the blocky pattern, this
coastal/ocean storm will likely linger into Monday with wet
impacts. 

Temperatures...cool/moisture onshore flow Fri/Sat/Sun will limit 
daytime highs in the upper 50s to lower/mid 60s. Solid 10 degs 
cooler than normal.

Through Thursday Night...High Confidence.

NE winds 20-30 kt with gusts up to 35 kt at times briefly
subside around sunset. Gusty winds resume Thursday and continue
through Thursday night. This northeast fetch will yield rough 
seas on the ocean waters, 6-12 ft. Dry weather and good 
visibility prevail. Rain could arrive from the SE as early as
Thursday afternoon for the waters south and east of Nantucket.
It is more likely this rain arrives Thursday night.
