A HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT TUESDAY. 

SWELLS FROM HURRICANE FLORENCE WILL CONTINUE TO APPROACH INTO THE
COASTAL BEACHES OF MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. SEAS HAVE INCREASED TO 3 TO 5 FEET ALONG THE SHORE THIS
AFTERNOON...AND COULD POSSIBLY APPROACH 9 FEET ON THE OUTER ARM OF
CAPE COD AND THE EAST SHORES OF NANTUCKET MONDAY. THESE HIGH SEAS
CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT WAVE ACTION IN THE SURF ZONE TO PRODUCE STRONG
RIP CURRENTS.

HURRICANE FLORENCE WILL MAKE HER CLOSEST APPROACH ABOUT 500 MILES
EAST OF NANTUCKET TUESDAY. HIGH SWELLS WILL CONTINUE TO TRAVEL
TOWARD THE SHORE THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY.

A RIP CURRENT...SOMETIMES MISTAKENLY CALLED AN UNDERTOW...IS A
STRONG BUT NARROW CURRENT OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE BEACH TO THE
SURF ZONE. IT CAN RAPIDLY CARRY A SWIMMER INTO DEEPER WATER AND
EXHAUST AN INDIVIDUAL TRYING TO SWIM AGAINST IT.

IF YOU ARE A POOR SWIMMER AND ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...SWIM
PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL OUT OF ITS PULL. ANOTHER MEANS OF
ESCAPE FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOOD SWIMMERS IS TO RIDE THE CURRENT OUT
BEYOND THE SURF ZONE WHERE THE RIP CURRENT DISSIPATES...THEN SWIM
TOWARD SHORE OUTSIDE THE EFFECT OF THE NARROW RIP CURRENT.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE DIRECTLY AGAINST THE
CURRENT...IT CAN EXHAUST AND DROWN EVEN THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.

HEED THE ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL AND SWIM ONLY AT GUARDED
BEACHES. WATCH YOUR CHILDREN. BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS NEAR PIERS
AND JETTIES WHERE RIP CURRENTS CAN BE ENHANCED.

DISSIPATION OF THE COLD FRONT OFF THE COAST...THEN THE LARGE CHILLY
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTHEAST OUT OF WESTERN QUEBEC. THIS WILL
DOMINATE THE WEATHER PICTURE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AND BEYOND.
ONLY QUESTION AT THIS POINT WILL BE IF ANY CLOUDS HANG AROUND THIS
MORNING...THEN HOW CHILLY THE OVERNIGHT LOWS GO TONIGHT.  WITH
LOWERING DEWPOINTS AND DIMINISHING WINDS INLAND...COULD SEE GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING.  MOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS UPPER 30S FOR CHESHIRE
COUNTY NEW HAMPSHIRE INTO WESTERN FRANKLIN AND HAMPSHIRE COUNTIES.
AT THIS POINT...HAVE HELD OFF ON ISSUING FROST ADVISORIES...THOUGH
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A MID 30 READING OR TWO FROM THERE
MONDAY MORNING.  USED A BLEND OF THE MAV AND MET MOS GUIDANCE FOR
THE TEMPS THROUGH MONDAY.

ONLY OTHER PROBLEM WILL BE AN INCREASING NORTHEAST WIND ALONG THE
COAST AS HURRICANE FLORENCE MAKES HER CLOSEST APPROACH LATER
MONDAY...AND THE STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE STORM AND THE
HIGH BUILDING INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  HIGHEST WINDS WILL OCCUR
ON NANTUCKET AND MARTHAS VINEYARD...REACHING TO THE OUTER CAPE BY
MONDAY EVENING...BUT SHOULD ONLY SEE WINDS TO 25 MPH OR SO.  HAVE
ALSO PUT UP A HIGH SURF ADVISORY...SEE THE MARINE SECTION FOR
DETAILS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
QUIET WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN
CONTROL. MAIN CONCERNS FOR THE FORECAST ARE THE EFFECTS OF FLORENCE
ON TUESDAY AND THE ONSET OF SHOWERS WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY. OVERALL
WE FAVORED THE GFS/MAV GRID VALUES.

NAM AND GFS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT OVER NEW ENGLAND REGARDING SURFACE
PRESSURE AND WINDS. THE NAM HAS A MORE EXPANSIVE NORTHERLY FLOW WEST
OF FLORENCE...WHICH IS FORECAST SOUTH OF CAPE BRETON ISLAND AT THE
TIME...WHICH PUSHES THE UPPER AND SURFACE RIDGES FARTHER WEST INTO
NY/PA. THE GFS KEEPS FLORENCE FARTHER EAST AND BUILDS THE SURFACE AND
UPPER RIDGES OVER NEW ENGLAND. THE 00Z GLOBAL FAVORS THE GFS OVER THE
NAM. WE WILL GO CLOSE TO THE GFS ON THIS PLACEMENT.

TIME SECTIONS OF RH FROM THE GFS SHOW ENOUGH DRY AIR AT 800-850 MB TO
INTERCEPT ANY ATTEMPT AT RAIN IN THE CT VALLEY BEFORE MIDNIGHT WITH
THE BEST SUPPORT FOR SHOWERS COMING AFTER 12Z THURSDAY. WILL ADJUST
POPS TO BRING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO OUR FAR WEST TOWARD MIDNIGHT
AND TO THE EASTERN ZONES AROUND 10Z THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
AS DEWPOINTS DROP...EXPECT ANY PATCHY FOG TO DISSIPATE.  LOW CLOUDS
OVER SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE APPEAR TO BE DISSIPATING AS WELL...SO
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
IN THE SHORT TERM...BRIEF INCREASE OF WIND WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION
AND PRESSURE SURGE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT EARLY THIS MORNING.  MAY
SEE A BRIEF GUST OF WIND TO 25 KT...MAINLY ON THE EASTERN WATERS.
SHOULD DIMINISH TONIGHT...JUST TO INCREASE AGAIN FROM S-N...MAINLY
SOUTH OF PROVINCETOWN IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACH OF HURRICANE
FLORENCE AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO
THE NORTH.  HAVE HOISTED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR ALL EXCEPT BOSTON
HARBOR AND NARRAGANSETT BAY BY MONDAY.  ALSO NOTED THAT THE SEAS
WILL BE MAINLY IN SE-E SWELLS.

NOTING THAT THE SWELLS ARE STARTING TO MOVE INTO OUR FARTHEST
SOUTHEAST OUTER WATERS.  BUOY 44018...EAST OF NANTUCKET...REPORTING
2-3 FOOT SWELL WITH 12-13 SECOND PERIOD.  THIS...ALONG WITH WNA
WAVEWATCH HURRICANE MODEL SUGGESTING A STEADY INCREASE THROUGH THE
SHORT TERM AND PROPAGATING NORTHWESTWARD...DECIDED TO PUT UP A HIGH
SURF ADVISORY STARTING THIS AFTERNOON.  LOCAL RESEARCH SUGGESTS ONLY
NEED 3 FOOT OFFSHORE SWELL TO GENERATE HIGH SURF INTO THE COAST...
ALONG WITH POTENTIAL RIP CURRENTS. WILL KEEP THIS GOING THROUGH THE
HIGH TIDE CYCLE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON...AS WE ALSO HAVE HIGHER THAN
NORMAL TIDES DUE TO JUST PAST FULL MOON. COULD ALSO HAVE AN
ADDITIONAL NORTHEAST WIND WAVE ON THE SOUTHERN COAST GENERATING EVEN
HIGHER SEAS DURING MONDAY.

SURFS UP MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY AS FLORENCE MAKES HER CLOSEST APPROACH
TO NEW ENGLAND SOME 500 MILES OFFSHORE. NORTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE
WATERS TOP OUT AROUND 25-30 KTS MONDAY NIGHT...THEN DIMINISH
TUESDAY AS FLORENCE MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. THE NORTH ATLANTIC
HURRICANE MODEL SHOWS THE SOUTHEAST SWELL COMPONENT OF THE SEAS
PEAKING AT 4 FEET MONDAY NIGHT AND SUBSIDING TUESDAY...BUT NORTHEAST
WIND WAVES EVOLVING INTO A LONGER PERIOD SWELL BEFORE PEAKING ON
TUESDAY.

WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD DIMINISH WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.
