...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS
EVENING...
* WHAT...Warm temperatures in the 70s may cause people to
underestimate the dangers of cold water temperatures which are
currently in the mid to upper 40s.
* WHERE...In Maine, Coastal York, Coastal Cumberland, Sagadahoc,
Lincoln, Knox and Coastal Waldo Counties. In New Hampshire,
Coastal Rockingham County.
* WHEN...From this morning through this evening. Warm to hot air
temperatures will continue through at least Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...The cold water temperatures can quickly cause
hypothermia to anyone immersed in the water. According to the US
Coast Guard, when the water temperatures are below 50 degrees,
the chance of immediate incapacitation due to cold shock is
extremely high. Anyone on boats or paddlecraft should use
extreme caution to avoid this threat.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Beach Hazards Statement is issued on days when a significant
number of boats and paddlecraft are expected to be out on the
water and when warm air temperatures may cause people to
underestimate the danger of the cold water. Paddle smart from the
start. Always wear your life jacket. Be aware of wind conditions,
tides, and localized currents.
All boaters and paddlers are highly encouraged to contact the
U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadrons at
www.wow.uscgaux/i_want_a_usc/index.php to receive a FREE vessel
check. This is a convenient, no consequence way to ensure your
vessel is outfitted with all required safety equipment.
Additionally, please label your paddlecraft with your contact
information (IF FOUND Sticker) in the event it is found adrift on
the water.

...National Weather Service Cold Water Safety Message...
...Please check with state and local authorities regarding
guidelines for allowed activities...
* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the mid 70s may cause
people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures
which are currently only in the mid 40s to mid 50s across Lake
Champlain and the smaller lakes and rivers.
* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to
anyone immersed in the water. According to the US Coast Guard,
when the water temperatures are below 50 degrees, the chance of
immediate incapacitation due to cold shock is extremely high.
Anyone on small boats, canoes or kayaks should plan accordingly
if recreating this weekend and use extreme caution to avoid this
threat. Paddle smart from the start and always wear your life
jacket!
* Strong winds are also expected this weekend with gusts 20 to 30 mph
from the south. If boating on large bodies of water, these strong
winds can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat,canoe or
kayak due to increased wave heights.
* Due to recent rain, area rivers continue to run fast with swift
water currents. The swift water can easily overturn a kayak or
canoe into the frigid river waters. Once in the cold water, the
strong currents will make it difficult to reach safety.

* The warm air temperatures this weekend in the 70s may cause people
to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures, which
are currently only in the 40s across Sebago Lake, Lake
Winnipesaukee, and in the region`s smaller lakes and rivers.
* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to

Anyone on small boats, canoes, or kayaks should plan accordingly

jacket!
* Breezy winds are also expected this weekend with gusts up to 20-25
mph from the southwest today and 25 to 35 mph out of the west on
Sunday. If boating on large bodies of water, these strong winds
can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat, canoe, or
kayak due to increased wave heights.

Air temperatures will rise into the 70s and 80s across the Tri-
State area this weekend. However, water temperatures remain in the
lower 50s.
The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia and
physical incapacitation to anyone suddenly immersed in the water.
When the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the average
submerged person could lose dexterity within minutes and be unable
to accomplish simple tasks. Anyone going out on small boats, canoes
or kayaks should plan accordingly and use extreme caution to avoid
this threat.
Several things to consider...
* Always wear a life jacket.
* Dress for the water temperatures, not air temperatures. Wear cold
water protection, like a wetsuit or drysuit.
* Carry an Emergency Position Indication Radio Device.
* File a float plan with someone you trust.
* Check the latest marine weather forecast, including water
temperatures at www.weather.gov/okx/marine before you go out on
the waters.
Your ability to survive cold water immersion depends on your ability
to stay afloat and stay warm until help arrives.
