Small Craft Warning: A red pennant indicates that moderately strong winds are expected.
Storm Warning: A red flag with a black center indicates that a storm of marked violence is expected.
The pennants displayed with the flags indicate the direction of the wind—white, westerly (from southwest to north); red, easterly (from northeast to south). The pennant above the flag indicates that the wind is expected to blow from the northerly quadrants; below, from the southerly quadrants.
By night a red light indicates easterly winds, and a white light below a red light, westerly winds.
Hurricane Warning: Two red flags with black centers, displayed one above the other, indicate the expected approach of a tropical hurricane, or one of those extremely severe and dangerous storms which occasionally move across the Lakes and Northern Atlantic coast.
No night small craft or hurricane warnings are displayed.
