Effective: Fri January 30, 2026, 12:57 PM
Expires: Sat January 31, 2026, 3:00 AM

* WHAT...Minor to perhaps moderate coastal flooding possible around high tide. Water could be as deep as 1 to 2 feet. * WHERE...Eastern Massachusetts coast including Cape Cod, Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket. * WHEN...From Sunday morning through Monday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Expect at least shallow flooding less than one foot deep along much of the eastern Massachusetts coastline, resulting in temporary closure of more vulnerable coastal roads around high tide Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and midday Monday. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Moderate flooding, should it occur, is more likely along the Bay side of Cape Cod, in Nantucket Harbor, and in Edgartown, Vineyard Haven, and Oak Bluffs on Marthas Vineyard.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
