The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a Gale Watch,

which is in effect from Thursday morning through late Thursday

night.



* WINDS AND SEAS...West winds 15 to 20 kt with gusts up to 25 kt

  this morning. For Thursday through Thursday night, west winds 

  15 to 25 kt with gusts up to 35 kt. Seas 2 to 4 feet.



* Freezing Spray...Areas of moderate freezing spray are expected

  into this morning.



* Water Levels...1.5 to 2 feet below mean lower low water during 

  times of low tides today and tonight.



* 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 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.



A Small Craft Advisory means that sustained wind speeds or

frequent gusts of 25 to 33 kt and/or seas of 5 ft or higher are

expected or occurring...and hazardous to small craft.

Inexperienced mariners...especially those operating smaller

vessels...should avoid navigating in these 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 Gale Watch is issued when the risk of gale force winds of 34 to

47 kt has significantly increased...but the specific timing

and/or location is still uncertain. It is intended to provide

additional lead time for mariners who may wish to consider

altering their plans.
