Residents in Eastern Essex, Suffolk, Eastern Norfolk, Eastern Plymouth, Southern Bristol, Southern Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket, Bristol, Washington, Newport, and Block Island are advised to secure loose outdoor objects immediately. The National Weather Service (NWS) Boston/Norton MA has issued a High Wind Warning, effective from Friday, September 25, 2026, at 8:00 AM EDT until Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 2:00 AM EDT.
