Proposed Changes to Marine Forecasts
- Longer periods of coverage
- More concise / consistent wording – terminology changes – e.g., “small craft warning” will be “strong wind warning” – will use speed (knots) to determine category; key words will be in header text.
- New forecast products – new website; new brochure.
- Forecast areas remain the same.
- Times remain the same but terminology will change – e.g., “24-hour outlook” will change to “Day Two” – will include visibility statement only if needed.
- Extended marine forecast – will now forecast winds for Days Three, Four and Five – two times per day.
- Will have “Marine Weather Statement” (non-scheduled, event driven, potentially hazardous conditions).
- Wave Height Forecast is now a separate product.
- “Separate Products” are issued at different times – the committee felt this was going to lead to a great deal of confusion – means staggering current wind conditions with old wave conditions. Coast Guard will provide clarification on how separate products will be packaged and presented.
The PACMAR Committee expressed concern over some of the changes being made and requested additional material and clarification.
