This is the latest from our friends at the National Weather Service in Wakefield.
Attached is our latest briefing for the Nor'easter that is currently affecting the area and will have lasting impacts over the weekend. The worst conditions will be found across immediate coastal locations. Wind gusts up to 50-65 mph will continue through early Saturday. It will continue to be windy on Saturday as well, with NW winds gusting to 35 to 45 mph, especially closer to the coast. Minor to moderate tidal flooding is also expected along the lower Bay and Atlantic Ocean, with the highest water levels (1.5-2.5 ft above normal) expected during high tide from Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon. Breaking waves will likely cause significant beach erosion. Erosion and damage to dune structures is possible as well.
There will be an updated briefing issued Saturday morning, or sooner if conditions warrant.
