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.
