Wind conditions across Plymouth County have been quite active today, particularly along the coast

Plymouth County MA-Wind conditions across Plymouth County have been quite active today, particularly along the coast. While inland areas are seeing steady breezes, the immediate shoreline is feeling much stronger resistance.

Current Peak Gusts (April 2, 2026)

The most significant activity is centered around the municipal airport and coastal zones where the northeast influence is strongest:

• Plymouth Municipal Airport (KPYM): Currently reporting sustained winds from the NE at 12 mph, with frequent gusts reaching 21 mph.
• Coastal Plymouth: Some local GFS models and marine stations are tracking potential gusts as high as 42 mph near the water, though official inland reports remain more conservative.
• County-wide Average: Most of the county is seeing sustained speeds between 10 and 20 mph.

Forecast for the Rest of Today

Expect the “gusty” nature of the wind to persist through the evening as rain showers move through the area:

• Direction: Staying primarily Northeast before shifting slightly North later tonight.
• Evening Outlook: Winds will remain in the 10–20 mph range, though gusts should begin to taper off toward 20 mph or less after midnight as the system shifts.

Conditions are currently a bit “raw” out there, especially with temperatures hovering in the high 30s making that wind chill feel significantly colder.
