If you were planning to hit the seas..

If you’re planning to hit the sea, the winds are expected to be a bit strong. The sea state is predicted to be 2 to 3 feet inshore, and 4 to 8 feet offshore, so be cautious if you’re venturing out on the water.

A warning for very strong winds has been issued, so it’s best to take extra care and reschedule.

It’s important to stay safe!

Visibility is expected to be reduced, so if you’re driving, remember to keep a safe distance and take your time. It’s always better to be cautious in these conditions.
