...WEST WINDS GUSTING AROUND 20 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON...



A cold front currently moving across the area is going to produce

occasional gust to around 20 knots over the local waters. Winds

begin to diminish late this afternoon. These gusts could create

some hazardous boating conditions for mariners.



Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller

vessels, should exercise extra caution if navigating the waters

during this time.
