Hurricane Lee has been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone as it moves across New England, but it is still considered dangerous.Bands of rain along the coastline will persist through this afternoon, along with winds reaching over 30 mph at times for most of the Cape and Nantucket areas. Strong winds should diminish as Lee moves northward and makes landfall in Nova Scotia early this afternoon.
Fortunately, winds will be out of the north-northwest which will help prevent any major flooding along much of the coastline. However, we will be keeping a close eye on some north facing coastlines such as those found along Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket this afternoon where we could have some issues with water piling up. Inland regions will mostly see dry and breezy conditions this afternoon with decreasing clouds. Overnight, weather will remain breezy with decreasing clouds and lows in the 50s.
