Getting some serious wind up here on the coast between Boston and the
Cape. Haven't seen wind like this for a while.

Here's your reason, big low pressure system coming up the coast from
the Gulf of Mexico, not quite powerful enough to give it a name but
it's close. Looks like you've got 30K+ nor'easterlies moving your
way.

Let me know if that doesn't open properly. Graphic is from the GFS
weather model. That's what we use on the boat when we're cruising.



Opened fine. Nice. We're getting some gusts approaching hurricane
force but it's pretty localized.
