A storm headed up the east coast is expected to bring strong winds and potential flooding to Martha’s Vineyard on Sunday and Monday.
The Island saw some rain and winds, but only experienced a handful of power outages and canceled ferries Friday night into Saturday.
The hurricane is projected to pass to the east of the Vineyard and Nantucket Saturday, bringing strong winds and high surf.
With Hurricane Lee expected to pass offshore of Martha’s Vineyard Saturday, the National Weather Service has issued a tropical storm warning for Dukes County. The storm could hit the Island with tropical storm-force winds within the next 36 hours.
The watch goes into effect at 2 p.m. today and will remain active until Friday morning, with areas of the state expected to receive between two and four inches of rain.
A short deep freeze hit the Island Saturday, part of the arctic blast that caused freezing temperatures across the northeast.
