...National Weather Service Cold Water Safety Message...

* The warm air temperatures today in the upper 60s to lower 70s may
  cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water
  temperatures. Lake and river temperatures are only in the upper
  40s to mid 50s.

* The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to anyone
  immersed in the water. According to the US Coast Guard, when the
  water temperatures are below 60 degrees, the average submerged
  person could lose dexterity within minutes and be unable to
  accomplish simple tasks. Anyone on small boats, canoes or kayaks
  should plan accordingly if recreating today and use extreme
  caution to avoid this threat. Paddle smart from the start and
  always wear your life jacket!
