surge each evening, with speeds briefly approaching Caution speeds
around sunset outside of ongoing thunderstorm activity. Stronger
high pressure building over New England this weekend will shift
prevailing winds to onshore across our local waters, with scattered
showers and thunderstorms possible at any time during the upcoming
weekend and early next week.
