TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON THE CAPE! It now appears that Hurricane Bill will pass between 100 and 150 miles east of Nantucket early sunday morning. When it passes east of the cape, the storm is expected to pack winds of about 115 MPH, a cat 3 storm.  Because of the size and strength of the hurricane, tropical storm force winds(40+) will likely brush SE mass, including cape cod and the islands. Heavy rain and 20 foot seas will accompany the strong winds of 35- 45 mph, with gusts up to 65 mph! Here in Boston we will have some heavy rain, and gusts up to about 40 mph. However, a slight shift westward in the track may bring hurricane force gusts(75 MPH+) to Nantucket, and stronger winds to the boston area and the north shore. Also, be sure to stay out of the water on sunday as dangerous rip currents will affect the coast.  We need to keep a close eye on this major hurricane.
