Gusty winds are expected on Sunday and Monday, with gusts as high as 30-40 knots over the Cape and islands and 25 to 35 knots inland. The exact wind speeds will depend on the system's track and timing.

However, this will bring cooler northwest winds, which may result in frost on Monday night into Tuesday.
