I'm out in the sound, waiting for one of those bands of clear sky to show up.. waves are decent, wind out of the EastNorthEast..

Supposed to head to Chatham Friday night for a weekend away. Looks like Jose will still be hanging around. Forcast shows it just sitting there for at least another day.


In Mainland MA, still some pretty decent gusts. Mostly clouds, and occasional mists/sprinkles. A few downed branches, but not much excitement going on really.


If Jose had stalled maybe 100 miles to the NW, we would have had 2-3 days worth of heavy rain.
