A high wind watch remains in effect from 9 PM EST this evening
through Wednesday morning for Lake Moultrie.

A strong cold front will push through the area this evening as
low pressure pulls away from the region. Very cold air
interacting with lake waters in the upper 40s could produce west
winds of 25 to 35 knots from late evening through late Wednesday
morning. Gusts as high as 40 kt may also occur. Waves will also
build as high 3 to 4 feet... mainly over the central and eastern
parts of the lake. In addition... strong wave action may produce
minor damage to docks and some inundation of the Lakeshore for
areas such as Bonneau Beach... Lions Beach... the short stay naval
Recreation Area and Pinopolis. The high wind watch may be
upgraded to a High Wind Warning or a Wind Advisory later today.

Mariners are urged to remain off the lake beginning tonight as
dangerous conditions are expected.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous
high wind event. Sustained winds of at least 35 knots or stronger
may occur. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts and be
prepared for possible warnings from the National Weather Service
in Charleston.
