Marine Weather Statement
Issued: 3:05 AM Apr. 11, 2026 – National Weather Service
...CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH THIS WEEKEND... A couple of strom systems will bring periods of rain with a chance of thunderstorms across the coastal waters through the weekend. The time of highest threat will be late Saturday afternoon into Sunday morning when a convective squall line is expected to push south and east across the coastal waters. Thunderstorms will bring the threat of cloud to ocean lightning, strong and erratic winds, brief heavy rain, small hail, and isolated waterspouts. These conditions can create hazardous ocean conditions, especially for smaller vessels. Mariners are advised to have a plan to reach safe harbor quickly if thunderstorms develop.
