HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

portions of the southeastern coast of the United States, Bermuda,

increase near the coasts of New England and Atlantic Canada by the
end of the week.  Please consult products from your local weather
office as these conditions could cause life-threatening surf and rip
currents.
