...STRONG PACIFIC STORM TO CREATE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

A STRONG PACIFIC STORM MOVING OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC WILL
SPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.

AS THE FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE AREA IT WILL GENERATE
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE WATERS. THESE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SMALL HAIL...GALE FORCE WIND GUSTS...AND POSSIBLY
SMALL WATERSPOUTS.

AHEAD OF THE FRONT WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST AND
RANGE FROM 20 TO 30 KT WITH 35 KT GUSTS. FIVE FOOT WIND WAVES WITH 7
SECOND PERIODS WILL DEVELOP WITH THESE WINDS.

BEHIND THE FRONT WINDS WILL BE WESTERLY AND RANGE FROM 15 TO 25 MPH
WITH LOCAL GUSTS TO 30 KT.

SMALL CRAFT SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT UNTIL THIS STORM PASSES. SMALL CRAFT
AT SEA SHOULD SEEK SAFE HARBOR IF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP NEARBY.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR THE LATEST UPDATES ON THIS MARINE
WEATHER SITUATION.
