The outer bands of Hurricane Earl are beginning to bring wind and waves to Nantucket.
Earl is now a weak hurricane. At 8 p.m. Friday, maximum sustained winds were at 75 mph, just above the threshold for a hurricane. The National Weather Service says the center of the storm is located about 155 miles south-southwest of Nantucket and is moving northeast at 23 mph.
Nantucket is seeing rough surf and winds gusts of 31 mph. The storm is expected to pass closest to Cape Cod and the island overnight.
Weather Service meteorologist Alan Dunham says wind damage is
still possible. Also, heavy rain could cause "urban and small
stream-type flooding."
