Lee will pass a couple hundred miles to Massachusetts' east, and likely make landfall somewhere near the western tip of Nova Scotia. The primary effects will be felt along the immediate coast, especially for Cape Cod and the Islands.
The wave heights around the center of Lee have been incredible: 30- to 40-foot seas have been reported by offshore Atlantic buoys. While Massachusetts won't see anything that extreme, surf will build 6 to 12 feet by Friday's end, with 8- to 16-foot seas through the day on Saturday. Minor coastal flooding will occur at the midnight high tide Friday night and again at midday Saturday.
The Steamship Authority, which runs ferries to and from Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, announced that cancellations are expected on both routes Saturday, but said the length of the service disruptions will depend on how fast Lee moves through the area and the condition of the seas and Steamship facilities after the winds die down.
Gusts of 50 to 60 mph are likely for Cape Cod, with isolated gusts up to 70 mph possible on the outer Cape and Nantucket. Boston will get gusts of 40 to 45 mph, with isolated gusts of 50 mph possible.
