The red means "high hazard" which is *exactly* what the conditions are on Tampa Bay right now.
The National Weather Service issued a marine warning for Tampa Bay.
The warning lasts until 11 a.m., at which time it will either get extended or expire. But use your judgment, y'all.
Folks, if you need to be told not to take your boat out in this crap, we really can't help you. But if, for some reason, you feel the need to do so, you're on your own. Tow boat services don't have any obligation to come get you when there's a marine warning. Which means you'll need to call the Coast Guard and trust us, they have better things to do.
