... Precautionary/preparedness actions...
precautionary/preparedness actions...

Preparations should be made as soon as possible... before
conditions deteriorate. Keep informed while listening for possible
warnings. Secure loose outdoor objects which can be blown around.


... Probability of tropical storm/hurricane conditions...
the chance for hurricane conditions at this time is very small.
Also... the chance for tropical storm conditions at this time is
up to 56 percent. Tropical storm conditions are most likely to
begin Friday evening.

... Winds...
as Hurricane Earl moves closer... the threat for sustained high
winds is likely to increase. The latest forecast is for tropical
storm force winds from Friday after midnight to early Saturday
morning.

... Storm surge and storm tide...
with the present track projection and timing... storm surge
flooding is not a major concern along the Massachusetts coast. A
storm surge of 1 to 3 feet is possible around the time of the
Friday evening high tide.

... Inland flooding...
the axis of heaviest rainfall is expected across far southeast
Massachusetts including the cape and islands. 1 to 3 inches of
rain are possible along the northeast coast. Much of this rain may
fall in a 6 hour period late Friday into Friday night.

The axis of heaviest rainfall is track dependent and could shift
depending on the eventual track of Earl.

... Rip currents...
high surf and dangerous rip currents will continue into Friday
across the northeast Massachusetts shoreline. The worst of these
dangerous beach conditions will be Friday night as Hurricane Earl
makes its closest approach to southern New England. Earl will exit
into the Canadian Maritimes Saturday... however the southern New
England ocean waters will remain very turbulent into the weekend
despite improving weather conditions. Therefore expect high surf
and dangerous rip currents to persist into at least Saturday and
then slowly easing Sunday and especially Monday. Beach goers
should check with local beach patrols and lifeguards before
entering the water. Swimming restrictions are likely with possible
beach closures Friday and possibly into Saturday. The most
dangerous surf conditions are expected at south and east facing
ocean exposed beaches.
