Summary
Boston Logan travelers this weekend face possible delays and preemptive cancellations as forecasters track a potential nor'easter along the Massachusetts coast.
55 mph gusts are possible in the Boston area, and pilots say operations can be curtailed if crosswinds top roughly 40 mph or runways cannot align safely with the wind.
Logan can keep operating with alternate runway setups, but some non-optimal runways may close, reducing capacity and increasing the chance of disruptions over several days.
Seven straight days of gusty weather are in the forecast, though pilots say it is still too early to know whether conditions will be severe enough to cause unusual shutdowns.
