UPDATE: High Wind Watch Now a High Wind Warning

The National Weather Center has updated their High Wind Watch to a High Wind Warning for the Cape and Islands from late tonight through tomorrow evening.

There is the potential for strong damaging winds from the west at 30 – 40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph.

The warning is in effect from 4 am to 7 pm Saturday. Winds will increase through the night Friday and be strongest during the day on Saturday.

The high wind watch is no longer in effect. A high wind warning means there is the potential for sustained winds over 40 mph for at least an hour. There could also be gusts of 58 mph or more at any time. Power line and property damage are possible with winds of this magnitude and power outages are likely. Action should be taken to secure any loose objects outdoors.

As of now the Steamship Authority has not cancelled any boats. Any new updates on schedule changes or cancellations can be found on the Steamship Authority website.
