A moist and unstable air mass will bring scattered heavy showers
and thunderstorms to the coastal waters through at least the
middle of this week. Any of this activity will be capable of
producing localized gale-force winds and rough seas, dangerous
lightning, heavy rainfall with reduced visibility, and
waterspouts. The weather systems affecting the region through the
middle of this week will be especially conducive for the
development of waterspouts, so please use extra caution or
consider remaining in port.
