(Gloucester, MA) – The City of Gloucester today announced that dangerous conditions, including rip tides and strong surf undertow, are expected this weekend at Good Harbor and Wingaersheek Beaches in Gloucester. To ensure the well-being of guests, a Beach Safety Plan will be in effect for Saturday and Sunday, July 5th and 6th at all City beaches as Hurricane Arthur passes out to sea to the east of Cape Ann.
Under the Beach Safety Plan, lifeguards have authority to close all or portions of the beaches at their discretion. In sections that are open, swimmers must refrain from going into the water above the waist. Gloucester police officers will be on beach patrol throughout the weekend to enforce the lifeguard orders.
While Gloucester Fire and Police department personnel will stand ready to respond to any water-related emergencies, all life safety officials urge beach goers to immediately obey lifeguard instructions.

Ringo and Company Prep the Stage For Tonight’s Concert On The Boulevard
Vickie and Peter Van Ness report-
The Gloucester Fireworks Committee just cancelled tomorrow’s fireworks due to weather predictions (see Gloucester Times article here), but the Horribles Parade and free concert are still on in the hopes that weather will clear up.
Music featuring Cape Ann Big Band and The Runaround Sound will begin after the parade passes by the Boulevard stage (probably around 7:00pm) and continue until 11:00pm with a spectacular laser light show somewhere in between.
So come out and enjoy the parade and free concert. Let’s show all those people visiting from out of town that bad weather predictions aren’t enough to spoil our fun!

“Don’t Put Your Stupid Hat On”
I’ve made a point of warning my Facebook and Good Morning Gloucester friends to beware of waves on our rocky shores and breakwaters. Two friends were washed into the harbor, and two acquaintances drowned off the rocks. Rip currents can be just as dangerous. Even on warm sunny days, with the storm hundreds of miles away, these currents put beach goers at risk when they enter the water. My best advice: “Don’t go in the water.”

Raw Weather Data from National Weather Service
Bill O’Connor submits-
Hi Joey,
With Tropical Storm/maybe Hurricane Arthur approaching, I thought GMG readers might be interested in some of the raw data available from the National Weather Service. Most weather related information that is available on the internet and in the media is rooted in information from the NWS, because they aggregate collected weather data from all over the world and share it publicly as a gavernment service. NWS runs the National Hurricane Center, a site that serves up raw unadulterated weather data related to Hurricanes and Tropical Storms that’s free from any commentary. This is a great tool if you are into tracking the weather as it happens directly from the source.
When you land on the NHC homepage, you will be presented with a map that has each active tropical storm’s and hurricane’s current position on the map. Choose the storm you want to track and click on it [on the map]. Clicking the storm will bring you to a page that has all kinds of data on the storm, with maps that will show storm surge predictions, surface wind info, wind speed probability, history and all kinds of other data. Keep an eye out for the Warnings/Cone Interactive Map, it’s the familiar map with the projected storm path, but includes coastal warning information as well.
· Here’s a link for the overview page for Arthur: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?5-daynl#contents
· Here’s a link to the large tracking map for Arthur: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?gm_track?large#contents
These pages use aggregated data to generate the maps and reports available, but if you’re really geeky, I would suggest a visit to the Observations – Radial Search page. There you can input the center of your search area [latitude & longitude] and the distance and time period you would like to search in all directions from that point. The search result will spit out a table of weather observations from the given time range. Data sources would include buoy data, C-MAN station data, Drifting Buoys, Ships and other sources (like lighthouses). Weather information included in the raw data is wind speed and direction, peak gusts, wave height, wave frequency and wave energy, barometric pressure (and trend) at sea level, air temperature, sea surface water temp , visibility, tide, water depth of reporting station, and some stations will even report swell activity.
