A HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM EDT SUNDAY.

OCEAN SWELLS LEFTOVER FROM EARL WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE HIGH
SURF AND STRONG RIP CURRENTS AT AREA BEACHES THROUGH TONIGHT. THE
HIGHEST SURF WILL EXIST ALONG MOST EAST FACING BEACHES OF CAPE
COD AND NANTUCKET ISLAND.

SEAS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE OVERNIGHT AND SUNDAY AS WEST WINDS
COUNTERACT LEFTOVER SWELL FROM EARL. SEAS 6 TO 10 FEET ACROSS THE
OPEN WATERS TONIGHT WILL SUBSIDE TO 4 TO 6 FEET ON SUNDAY. A
MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS STILL EXISTS FOR SUNDAY...WITH THE
HIGHEST RISK DURING THE MORNING HOURS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

HEED THE ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL AND OBEY ALL SWIMMING
RESTRICTIONS.

IN ADDITION...VIEWERS OF LARGE SURF SHOULD BE IN SAFE AREAS WELL
AWAY FROM POSSIBLE SPLASH OVER. INDIVIDUAL WAVES MAY BE MORE THAN
TWICE THE SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT...WHICH CAN SWEEP A PERSON INTO
THE WATER FROM WHAT MAY SEEM TO BE A SAFE VIEWING AREA. FALLING
INTO THE TURBULENT AND SOMETIMES ROCKY WATERS CAN RESULT IN
INJURY THAT REDUCES THE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.

ISLAND COASTLINE...TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS OF 40 TO 60 MPH ARE
EXPECTED...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS CLOSEST TO THE CAPE COD CANAL.
IN THIS AREA WIND GUSTS TO HURRICANE FORCE ARE POSSIBLE. THE
PERIOD OF STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD OCCUR FROM AROUND 8 PM FRIDAY
INTO THE PREDAWN HOURS AND THEN DIMINISH TOWARD SATURDAY MORNING.
GIVEN TREES REMAIN FULLY LEAVED COMBINED WITH HEAVY RAINFALL...
WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE WILL EASILY BE CAPABLE OF DOWNING OR
UPROOTING TREES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.
THEREFORE EXPECT AT LEAST SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES ACROSS CAPE COD
AND NANTUCKET.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
WITH THE PRESENT TRACK PROJECTION AND TIMING...STORM SURGE
FLOODING IS NOT A MAJOR CONCERN ALONG THE MASSACHUSETTS COAST. A
STORM SURGE OF 2 TO 4 FEET IS POSSIBLE ALONG NANTUCKET HARBOR...
THE EAST SIDE OF CHATHAM...AND THE NORTHEAST FACING COASTLINE OF
MARTHA/S VINEYARD AROUND THE TIME OF THE FRIDAY EVENING HIGH TIDE.

ALTHOUGH A LOW RISK AT THIS TIME...MORE SERIOUS COASTAL FLOODING
COULD OCCUR FRIDAY NIGHT IN WELLFLEET AND PROVINCETOWN HARBOR...
IF EARL SHOULD TRACK FARTHER WEST AND PASS VERY NEAR THE OUTER
CAPE. HOWEVER THIS CLOSER TRACK IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

...INLAND FLOODING...
THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS EXPECTED ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST
MASSACHUSETTS INCLUDING THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. 2 TO 4 INCHES OF
RAIN ARE POSSIBLE...WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS UP TO 6 INCHES. MUCH OF
THIS RAIN MAY FALL IN A 6 HOUR PERIOD LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT...WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING ALONG WITH AREAS OF MINOR SMALL STREAM FLOODING. THE
AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS TRACK DEPENDENT AND COULD SHIFT
DEPENDING ON THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF EARL.

...RIP CURRENTS...
HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS SHORELINE. THIS INCLUDES CAPE
COD...NANTUCKET AND MARTHAS VINEYARD. THE WORST OF THESE DANGEROUS
BEACH CONDITIONS WILL BE FRIDAY AS HURRICANE EARL MAKES ITS
CLOSEST APPROACH TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. EARL WILL EXIT INTO THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES SATURDAY...HOWEVER THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
OCEAN WATERS WILL REMAIN VERY TURBULENT INTO THE WEEKEND DESPITE
IMPROVING WEATHER CONDITIONS. THEREFORE EXPECT HIGH SURF AND
DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS TO PERSIST INTO AT LEAST SATURDAY AND THEN
SLOWLY EASING SUNDAY AND ESPECIALLY MONDAY. BEACH-GOERS SHOULD
CHECK WITH LOCAL BEACH PATROLS AND LIFEGUARDS BEFORE ENTERING THE
WATER. SWIMMING RESTRICTIONS ARE LIKELY WITH POSSIBLE BEACH
CLOSURES FRIDAY AND POSSIBLY INTO SATURDAY. THE MOST DANGEROUS
SURF CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT SOUTH AND EAST FACING OCEAN
EXPOSED BEACHES.

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

STAY CALM AND KEEP INFORMED. COMPLY WITH ANY EVACUATION ORDERS
THAT ARE ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA. IF YOUR HOME IS VULNERABLE TO HIGH
WINDS...OR YOU LIVE IN A SURGE ZONE OR ANY LOCATION PRONE TO
FLOODING...EVACUATE TO A DESIGNATED SHELTER OR RIDE OUT THE STORM
IN THE STURDY HOME OF FAMILY OR FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF EVACUATION
ZONES.

ITEMS TO BRING TO A SHELTER INCLUDE A FIRST AID KIT...MEDICINES
AND PRESCRIPTIONS...BABY FOOD AND DIAPERS...GAMES AND BOOKS...
TOILETRIES...A BATTERY POWERED RADIO...A CELL PHONE...FLASHLIGHTS
WITH EXTRA BATTERIES...A BLANKET OR SLEEPING BAG FOR EACH
PERSON...PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION...COPIES OF KEY PAPERS SUCH AS
INSURANCE POLICIES...AVAILABLE CASH AND CREDIT CARDS. REMEMBER...
PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN MOST PUBLIC SHELTERS...SO CHECK AHEAD
WITH YOUR INTENDED SHELTER.

REGARDING YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS...COVER ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS
WITH SHUTTERS OR PLYWOOD. MOVE PATIO FURNITURE AND OTHER LOOSE
OBJECTS INDOORS. BRACE ALL EXTERIOR DOORS...INCLUDING GARAGE
DOORS. DO THIS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A TRIP TO THE HARDWARE STORE...THE GROCERY
STORE...OR THE GAS STATION...DO SO AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

&&

...PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE CONDITIONS...
THE CHANCE FOR HURRICANE CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS 8 TO
16 PERCENT. ALSO...THE CHANCE FOR TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS AT
THIS TIME IS UP TO 65 PERCENT. TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE
MOST LIKELY TO BEGIN THURSDAY MORNING.

...WINDS...
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS OF 39 MPH TO 73 MPH ARE POSSIBLE
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY MORNING ACROSS COASTAL RHODE ISLAND AND
SOUTHEAST COASTAL MASSACHUSETTS. THIS INCLUDES BLOCK ISLAND.
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS OF 74 MPH AND GREATER ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
MARTHAS VINEYARD...NANTUCKET AND CAPE COD DURING THE SAME TIME
PERIOD. THE PERIOD OF STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR LATE
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING...THEN DIMINISH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND
ESPECIALLY SATURDAY MORNING. GIVEN TREES REMAIN FULLY LEAVED
COMBINED WITH HEAVY RAINFALL...WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE MAY DOWN OR
UPROOT TREES ESPECIALLY ACROSS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
WITH THE PRESENT TRACK PROJECTION...STORM SURGE FLOODING IS NOT A
MAJOR CONCERN ALONG THE MASSACHUSETTS OR RHODE ISLAND COASTS. A
STORM SURGE OF 2 TO 3 FEET IS POSSIBLE ALONG NANTUCKET HARBOR...THE
EAST SIDE OF CHATHAM...AND THE NORTHEAST FACING COASTLINE OF
MARTHA/S VINEYARD AROUND THE TIME OF THE FRIDAY EVENING HIGH TIDE.
ALONG THE REST OF THE MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND COAST...A STORM
SURGE OF 1 TO 2 FEET IS POSSIBLE.

ALTHOUGH A LOW RISK AT THIS TIME...MORE SERIOUS COASTAL FLOODING
COULD OCCUR FRIDAY NIGHT IN WELLFLEET AND PROVINCETOWN HARBOR...IF
EARL SHOULD TRACK FURTHER WEST AND PASS VERY NEAR THE OUTER CAPE.

...INLAND FLOODING...
THE BULK OF THE RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH EARL IS EXPECTED TO FALL
DURING FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AT THIS TIME...2 TO 4 INCHES
OF RAIN IS ANTICIPATED OVER MUCH OF EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND
RHODE ISLAND...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS TO THE WEST. THIS RAIN WOULD
RESULT IN MINOR URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING. ISOLATED MINOR
SMALL STREAM FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

HOWEVER...THERE IS A CHANCE THAT LARGER RAINFALL TOTALS COULD
OCCUR OVER EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND. THE SANDY
SOILS OF THE CAPE AND ISLANDS WOULD LIKELY KEEP IMPACTS THERE TO
PRIMARILY POOR DRAINAGE ISSUES. BUT ELSEWHERE THIS RAINFALL WOULD
RESULT IN AREAS OF MINOR RIVER AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING...WITH
ISOLATED MODERATE FLOODING. SIGNIFICANT URBAN FLOODING WOULD BE
POSSIBLE.

...RIP CURRENTS...
HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL ARRIVE THURSDAY ALONG THE
RHODE ISLAND AND SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS SHORELINE. THIS INCLUDES
CAPE COD...NANTUCKET AND MARTHAS VINEYARD. THESE DANGEROUS BEACH
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FRIDAY AS HURRICANE EARL MAKES ITS CLOSEST
APPROACH TO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. EARL WILL EXIT INTO THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES SATURDAY...HOWEVER THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND OCEAN WATERS
WILL REMAIN VERY TURBULENT INTO THE WEEKEND DESPITE IMPROVING
WEATHER CONDITIONS. THEREFORE EXPECT HIGH SURF AND DANGEROUS RIP
CURRENTS TO PERSIST INTO AT LEAST SATURDAY. BEACH GOERS SHOULD CHECK
WITH LOCAL BEACH PATROLS AND LIFEGUARDS BEFORE ENTERING THE WATER.
SWIMMING RESTRICTIONS ARE LIKELY WITH POSSIBLE BEACH CLOSURES DURING
THIS TIME. THE MOST DANGEROUS SURF CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT SOUTH
AND EAST FACING OCEAN EXPOSED BEACHES.

DIMINISH BY MONDAY MORNING.

ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF RIP CURRENTS AND ROUGH SURF ARE POSSIBLE
LATER IN THE WEEK DEPENDING UPON THE TRACK AND STRENGTH OF
CURRENT TROPICAL STORM EARL.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

IN ADDITION...VIEWERS OF LARGE SURF SHOULD BE IN SAFE AREAS WELL
AWAY FROM POSSIBLE SPLASH OVER. INDIVIDUAL WAVES MAY BE MORE THAN
TWICE THE SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT...WHICH CAN SWEEP A PERSON INTO
THE WATER FROM WHAT MAY SEEM TO BE A SAFE VIEWING AREA. FALLING
