As high as 65 Miles Per Hour<\/a> reported on nantucket weve had the winds now down to over 20 in most areas across the eastern coast but about 18 across the south strong cape and islands those wind gusts have been persistent over 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour<\/a> and it has allowed for a very limited visibility which will continue to see over the next couple of hours but its also really pushed up the seas the seas now running 10 to 20 feet offshore. 23 and this is concerning as we get towards the time of high tide later on tonight. The high tide earlier today we saw pockets of moderate coastal flooding i dont think well see as much damage as we did or flooding as we did early today but we still have the concerns as well as some splash over so that the Coastal Flood Advisory<\/a> from 10 00 p. M. To 2 00 a. M. For the south shore as well as the cape those east and north facing beaches as well as men nantucket two.
