Synopsis

While its exact track and timing remains uncertain, dangerous conditions are expected for mariners later this week into the weekend. NE wind gusts of 35 to 55 knots with seas potentially building 15-20+ feet by the weekend. Mariners should keep up to date with the latest forecasts and be prepared to return to port.
