HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

United States Mid-Atlantic coast and are expected to spread
northward to portions of the U.S. Northeast and Atlantic Canada
coasts during the weekend. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
