Active Weather Alerts

Gale Warning
Issued: 6:48 AM Feb. 1, 2026 – National Weather Service
...GALE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM EST MONDAY...
...FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM THIS EVENING TO
10 AM EST MONDAY...

* WHAT...For the Gale Warning, north winds 25 to 35 kt with
gusts up to 45 kt and seas 6 to 11 feet expected. For the
Freezing Spray Advisory, moderate accumulation of freezing
spray expected.

* WHERE...Cape Cod Bay.

* WHEN...For the Gale Warning, until 4 AM EST Monday. For the
Freezing Spray Advisory, from 10 PM this evening to 10 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.

Coastal Flood Advisory
Issued: 6:02 PM Jan. 31, 2026 – National Weather Service
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY 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 (4.2 to 13.4 feet Mean Lower Low Water).

* WHERE...Barnstable MA and Dukes MA Counties.

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

* IMPACTS...Pockets of shallow flooding less than one foot deep.
This mainly affects low lying areas and roads near
Edgartown Harbor, including the Chappy Ferry Dock. Shallow
flooding may also approach Five Corners in Vineyard Haven.

* 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.
