Taking a look at the area of low pressure to the south of this is going to do a little loop over next couple days as it continues to weaken. Looking to the satellite precipitation, it looks a lot less impressive than it did yesterday morning. Yesterday we were huffing and puffing with the winds pushing 60mph close to it down across the vineyard and over the nantucket. Close to the 50 across the cape. Then into the boston area. Boston, brookline, up into rockport, closer to 40mileperhour gusts in the afternoon and early evening. Rainfall totals are impressive there, no question about it. In terms of a half inch or better, that was mainly confined down across southeastern mass, the cape and the islands. As we continue to watch the dampness settle in over the next couple days, during the afternoon, well get some dry stretch, but well continue to watch some of these scattered showers pin wheeling in. Set of circulation due south of new england right now. It continues to back in off to the west. So were losing the strongest winds. I dont expect those strong well have a breeze in the next couple day, but it wont be as strong. Temperatures in the mid60s. Wind gusts 20 to 30mph. Not as strong as what we had yesterday afternoon. Generally speaking, to the south and east of us, those winds not as strong. As you go throughout the morning into this afternoon, maybe a gust oar two, especially across the island, but generally speaking, 20 or 30mph gusts ought to do it. Not only today but again tomorrow. Once in a while we may be although work the storm still lingering, we have a high risk of rip currents. The seas are still swollen. Seas three to five feet crashing at the beach. Work your way off shore. The seas still running 8 to 10 feet. You lose this system working in as we work in toward the end of the week. What returns . Hot weather returns.

And in orleans, as well. There was heavy wind and on westport and nauset beach in orleans. The effects of hermine felt into the evening hours monday. Both beaches were closed because officials felt it became too dangerous to have anyone in the water. During the middle of the afternoon, waves hit eight feet in orleans and westport. High winds on the beach sent towel, hats and bags flying, and blowing sand covered the walkways. As of today, we dont know the status just yet of the beaches, we dont know if they will be open or closed. When we get that information, l for now, live in westport, john cuoco, 7news today in new england.
