capable of producing waterspouts over marine areas near Violet, or 9
miles east of Chalmette, moving east at 15 mph.

HAZARD...Waterspouts and winds in excess of 40 mph.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Waterspouts can easily overturn boats and create locally 
         hazardous waters. Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs 
         and blow around unsecured objects.

Locations impacted include...
New Orleans, Chalmette, Belle Chasse, Violet, Meraux, Shell Beach,
and Poydras.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not be
caught on the water in a thunderstorm.
