National Weather Service Cold Water Safety Message

The warm air temperatures this weekend in the upper 70s to mid-80s may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures, which are currently only around 50 across our region. Cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to anyone immersed in the water.
When water temps are below 60 degrees, the average submerged person could lose dexterity within minutes. Use extreme caution for pets, children, and anyone in the water.


Please join MaryJo's family and friends to celebrate Mary Jo Whalen.
