Lake Wind Advisory
Statement as of 3:58 am EST on February 11, 2012

... Lake Wind Advisory in effect from 10 am this morning to 6 PM
EST this evening...

The National Weather Service in Melbourne has issued a lake Wind
Advisory... which is in effect from 10 am this morning to 6 PM EST
this evening.

* Timing... winds will increase out of the northwest and become
gusty later this morning behind a cold front currently moving
through east central Florida. Northwest winds of 15 to 20 mph
with gusts of 25 to 30 mph can be expected through late
afternoon.

* Impacts... these winds will make open waters on the intracoastal
waters and Inland Lakes very choppy... which can tip or swamp
small craft.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A lake Wind Advisory indicates that winds will cause rough chop
on area lakes. Small boats will be especially prone to capsizing.
