...STORMY AFTERNOON FOR THE SANTEE COOPER LAKES...

Numerous thunderstorms will impact Lake Moultrie and the eastern 
portions of Lake Marion through 6 PM. These thunderstorms will be 
capable of producing wind gusts in excess of 30 knots, frequent 
cloud to water lightning and localized visibilities of 1 NM or

be expected. Mariners are urged to seek safe harbor now before the
strongest storms arrive.

If caught on the open water, stay as low as possible and wear a 
personal flotation device. Remember, if you can hear thunder you 
are at risk for being struck by lightning.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards or the Internet for
the latest information from the National Weather Service.
