Weather Warnings and Weather Bulletins

When a marine weather warning, weather watch, weather advisory, weather bulletin, or other weather statement is

issued, shading

indicates the area to which the information applies. To view information about the warning or

bulletin, select the shaded area. The aqua lines

on the chart indicate the boundaries of marine forecasts, coastal

forecasts, and offshore forecasts. Weather bulletins may consist of either weather watches or weather advisories.
See the Appendix (

page 15

) to view a list of color shading descriptions.
