As of 8am TS Danny now has maximum winds of only 40 MPH. That makes Danny a minimal tropical storm. It is still forecasted to pass within about 40 miles east of Nantucket. It now appears that it will not stregnthen into a hurricane. When it passes by Nantucket on Saturday afternoon it will pack winds of around 50 MPH. At the same time a storm system will move in from the west, and it will create a huge rainstorm right on top of us. There will be less wind further away from the Cape. Even if Danny does not make landfall, we will still have rain from both systems.
The timeline:
On Friday night: Rain will overspread the Cape after midnight, gusts to 30 or so are possible. Rain from west will also aprroach the area.
Saturday: Heavy rain, up to 5 inches in eastern Mass and NH. Gusty winds around Boston and points north along coast of up to 40 MPH, winds of 30-40 MPh with gusts to 50MPH are possible on cape and islands. The wind will be out of the Northeast. The height of the storm will be from 10am-6pm. Seas will be rough. (more stregnthening of Danny is possible)
Saturday night: Heavy rain ends. Some showers possible before midnight. Still windy along coast with gusts to 40 MPH from NW.
