...LAKE WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PADUCAH HAS ISSUED A LAKE WIND
ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING.

MID MORNING WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH AVERAGING IN THE 10 TO 15 MPH
RANGE WERE ALREADY GUSTING INTO THE MID 20 MPH RANGE AT 10 AM.
SOME HIGHER ELEVATIONS WINDS WERE REPORTEDLY ALREADY GUSTING INTO
THE LOWER 30S MPH.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON...WE ANTICIPATE AVERAGE SOUTH WIND
SPEEDS TO INCREASE INTO THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE...PARTICULARLY OVER
AREA WATERWAYS WHERE FRICTIONAL EFFECTS ARE LESS AN IMPEDIMENT.
GUSTS MAY ACTUALLY REACH OR EXCEED 30 MPH AT TIMES.

THESE HIGHER WINDS WILL DEFINITELY IMPACT AREA BOATERS AND
WATERLANE TRAFFIC. BE PREPARED FOR MORE TREACHEROUS BOATING TRAVEL
CONDITIONS DUE TO THESE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS AND RESULTANT HIGHER
WAVE CONDITIONS. WITH THE WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH...THIS WILL BE
ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR NORTH TO SOUTH ORIENTED WATER BODIES...LIKE
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...LAKE BARKLEY...AND KENTUCKY LAKE.

A LAKE WIND ADVISORY INDICATES THAT WINDS WILL CAUSE ROUGH CHOP
ON AREA LAKES. SMALL BOATS WILL BE ESPECIALLY PRONE TO CAPSIZING.
