...GALE WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EST SATURDAY...

...FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EST

SATURDAY...

...LOW WATER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EST THIS

EVENING...

...LOW WATER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM TO 9 AM EST SATURDAY...



The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a Low Water

Advisory, which is in effect from 3 AM to 9 AM EST Saturday.



* WINDS AND SEAS...West winds 25 to 35 kt with gusts up to 45 

  kt. Seas 7 to 12 feet.



* Freezing Spray...Moderate freezing spray through Saturday.



* Water Levels...For this evening and Saturday morning, water 

  levels will reach 2 feet below mean lower low water during times

  of low tide.



* Impacts...Low water conditions during low tide may lead to 

  navigation difficulty and may require extra slack and mooring. 

  Freezing spray will add weight to vessels, changing its center 

  of mass to reduce stability of the vessel.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



A Gale Warning means sustained winds or frequent gusts of 34 to

47 kt are expected or occurring. Operating a vessel in gale

conditions requires experience and properly equipped vessels. It

is highly recommended that mariners without the proper experience

seek safe harbor prior to the onset of gale conditions.



A Freezing Spray Advisory means that light to moderate

accumulation of ice is expected on vessels. Operating a vessel in

freezing spray can be hazardous. It is recommended that vessels

be prepared to take appropriate counter measures before putting

to sea or enter the advisory area.



A Low Water Advisory means water levels are expected to be

significantly below average. Mariners should use extreme caution

and transit at the slowest safe navigable speed to minimize

impact.
