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.

Northeast winds of 25 to 35 mph, with gusts reaching 45 to 60 mph, are expected. These conditions pose a risk of blowing down trees and power lines, leading to potential power outages. Travel, particularly for high-profile vehicles, is anticipated to be difficult.

The NWS warns that the extended duration of these winds, combined with heavy rain and trees still in full leaf, could worsen tree damage and power disruptions. The High Wind Warning was issued on September 24 at 12:38 PM EDT.
