An AP newswire article by Brooke Donald, via The Boston Globe, reports that:
Hurricane Wilma headed into the Atlantic Monday but forecasters said it will stay close enough to the East Coast to bring high winds and heavy rains to New England on Tuesday.
Meteorologists said Wilma should continue moving northeastward, along the way absorbing Tropical Depression Alpha and colliding with another weather system heading into New England from the west early Tuesday.
"It's almost a bizarre-type situation. It's not something you see every day. It's a three-way coming together of systems," said Butch Roberts, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Gray, Maine.
The weather service issued a high wind warning for the Massachusetts coast, saying Wilma will bring sustained winds of 40 mph, with gusts up to 65 mph. A wind advisory was issued for Rhode Island and central Massachusetts, including Worcester.
