...GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE

WATERS... 



A line of showers and isolated thunderstorms will move through the

waters this afternoon, and winds may gust 25 to 35 kt which may cause

brief rougher seas. 



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Thunderstorms pose a variety of threats to boater safety. Your

best course of action during thunderstorms is to seek safe harbor.

However, if you are caught out on the open water stay below deck

if possible and stay away from ungrounded metal objects. Make sure

your crew is wearing properly fitted life jackets.
