...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.

A weak backdoor cold front will make it about as far west as the

warm front late morning into early afternoon. Otherwise, high 
pressure will remain over the western Atlantic with a frontal 
system over the mid section of the country. This will keep the 
area in a southerly flow.

Rip Current Risk Categories:

* Low Risk - Implies that wind and wave conditions do not support an
enhanced rip current risk. However, life-threatening rip currents are
always possible in the vicinity of groins, jetties, reefs, and piers.

* Moderate Risk - Life-threatening rip currents are possible in the
surf zone. Anyone planning to enter the surf should check with local
beach patrols first. Be sure to swim within sight of a life guard,
and never alone or at night.

* High Risk - Life-threatening rip currents are likely for all people
entering the surf zone. Anyone visiting the beaches should stay out
of the surf.

If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with you
and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in a
direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the
shore and yell or wave for help.
