...PATCHY DENSE FOG BEFORE 200 PM...

Fog lingers across parts of the waters including Long Island
Sound, Long Island Bays, and ocean waters from Fire Island Inlet
to Montauk Point. There are patches of dense fog where
visibilities are reduced to less than 1 mile.

Low visibility will make navigation difficult. Boaters should be
prepared for rapid changes in visibility.

If you must navigate, proceed with caution. Use proper fog
signals. Make sure all running lights are on. Remember to use
your radar and compass.

and southeast New York.

* WHEN...From 11 AM this morning to 10 PM EDT Thursday.

* IMPACTS...High temperatures and high humidity may cause heat
illnesses.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and humidity
is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees for two or
more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any length of time.

Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health
conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air conditioning
can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.

Use air conditioning to stay cool at home or go to a place that has
air conditioning. If you don't have home air conditioning, continue
to seek out cool spaces each day as long as it remains hot, and for
a few days after if your home is still hot. Check on vulnerable
friends, family members and neighbors.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in
shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
