Town-by-town reports: List of strongest wind gusts reported in Mass. on Monday

DEDHAM, Mass. — Fierce wind gusts are battering the Bay State on Monday after an icy winter storm left behind several inches of snow and disrupted weekend travel.

The National Weather Service has issued high wind warnings for Berkshire, Franklin, Worcester, Hampshire, Hampden, Middlesex, Essex, and Norfolk counties until 7 p.m. Wind advisories have been issued for Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket counties.

“Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines. Power outages are possible.
