Coastal Flood Advisory
Issued: 6:02 PM Jan. 31, 2026 – National Weather Service
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM SUNDAY TO
2 PM EST MONDAY...

* WHAT...One to two feet of inundation above ground level
expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal
waterways (10.8 to 12.7 feet Mean Lower Low Water).

* WHERE...Eastern Essex MA, Suffolk MA, Eastern Norfolk MA and
Eastern Plymouth MA Counties.

* WHEN...Multiple high tide cycles Sunday morning into Monday
afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Shallow pockets of flooding less than one foot deep
affects the lowest lying areas along the coast, including
Morrissey Boulevard in Boston. Flooding up to one foot deep
affects coastal roads on the North Shore from Salem to
Gloucester and Newburyport. Rough surf will cause flooding
on some coastal roads around the time of high tide due to splashover.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Sub-freezing temperatures and cold road
surfaces may allow for some of the storm surge to freeze.
This would result in prolonged issues on those vulnerable roadways
and also delay drainage.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

Freezing Spray Advisory
Issued: 4:47 PM Jan. 31, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM TO 1 PM
EST SUNDAY...
...GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 AM SUNDAY TO 4 AM EST
MONDAY...

* WHAT...For the Freezing Spray Advisory, moderate accumulation
of freezing spray expected. For the Gale Warning, north winds
25 to 35 kt with gusts up to 45 kt and seas 7 to 10 feet
expected.

* WHERE...Massachusetts Bay and Ipswich Bay.

* WHEN...For the Freezing Spray Advisory, from 4 AM to 1 PM EST
Sunday. For the Gale Warning, from 6 AM Sunday to 4 AM EST
Monday.

* IMPACTS...Operating a vessel in freezing spray is hazardous.
Freezing spray may render mechanical and electronic components
inoperative. Ice accretion on decks and superstructures may
result in some loss of stability. Strong winds will cause
hazardous seas which could capsize or damage vessels and
reduce visibility.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Mariners should prepare for ice accumulation on their vessel and
consider altering plans to avoid or mitigate these hazardous
conditions. During freezing spray conditions, the U.S. Coast
Guard advises mariners to check and ensure all life-saving
devices remain free of ice.

Mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous conditions.
Remain in port, seek safe harbor, alter course, and/or secure the
vessel for hazardous conditions.
