Possible Impacts

Saharan Dust concentrations are forecast to be minimal or not present during the forecast period. Daytime haze is also not forecast to affect visibility significantly.

Elevated winds near 20 knots are forecast to agitate seas in open waters in eastern coastal waters, which will require caution from small craft operators and marine interests.

Additionally, spring tides are forecast to continue through Sunday, January 14th, 2024, resulting in higher-than-usual high tides and lower-than-usual low tides, with peak spring tides expected between January 9th and January 14th. During high tide periods, all marine interests are advised to exercise caution with an elevated risk of rip currents.

Lastly, forecast models indicate periodic increases in swell periods. These high-energy waves combined with spring tides may create potentially hazardous marine conditions, particularly during high tide periods. All marine interests are advised to take precautions through the first half of this week.
