...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM TUESDAY TO 6 AM EST

WEDNESDAY...



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

which is in effect from 4 PM Tuesday to 6 AM EST Wednesday. The

Gale Watch is no longer in effect.



* WINDS AND SEAS...West winds 15 to 25 kt with gusts up to 40 

  kt. Seas 4 to 7 feet.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



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.



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.
