...Cold Water Safety Concerns Today...
Air temperatures will rise into the 80s and in some cases around
90 across the Tri- State area today. However, water temperatures
remain in the 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.

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING...
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has
issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties:
New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk,
Westchester, and Rockland,
until 11 PM EDT this evening.
Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than
an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level
Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to
correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher
the AQI value, the greater the health concern.
When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of
Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous
outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health
effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of
elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with
preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease.
Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal
physician.
For additional information, please visit the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation website at,

1 800 5 3 5, 1 3 4 5.
