The nor'easter poses significant risks to Orleans and the Cape Cod region. Gusts up to 50 mph on Saturday evening may lead to downed trees and power outages, especially with trees still in full leaf. Coastal flooding is expected to repeat over several high tides, with east-facing shorelines at the highest risk of erosion. Heavy rainfall of 3–5 inches is forecast for Barnstable County, with localized higher amounts possible. Dangerous seas and rough surf will make coastal waters hazardous, and travel conditions may deteriorate due to flooding and debris. (Source: Town of Orleans, MA Alerts)
