Hurricane Erin Update
Because the hurricane may continue to grow in size, wind gusts near tropical storm force are possible in southeastern Massachusetts and the islands Thursday and Thursday night. The greatest impacts to southeastern New England will be from rough seas and dangerous surf, although some sporadic power outages are possible.
Rough seas and rip currents are expected along the New Hampshire seacoast. High rip current risk in effect from Thursday morning through Thursday evening. High surf advisory in effect from 6 a.m. Friday to 8 p.m. Saturday. A High Rip Current Risk indicates a significant danger of hazardous rip currents, while the High Surf Advisory warns of large breaking waves between 6 and 10 feet and a high risk of dangerous rip currents. These conditions are expected in Coastal Rockingham County, New Hampshire. The High Rip Current Risk is in effect from Thursday morning through Thursday evening, and the High Surf Advisory lasts from 6 AM Friday to 8 PM Saturday. Impacts include dangerous swimming and surfing conditions, localized beach erosion, and the potential for rip currents to pull even strong swimmers away from shore into deeper water. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS: Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
