⚠ Gale Warning · until Sat 1:00 PM

* WHAT...Northeast winds 25 to 35 kt with gusts up to 40 kt and seas 6 to 12 ft. * WHERE...Portions of Gulf of America. * WHEN...Until 1 PM CDT this afternoon. * IMPACTS...Strong winds will cause hazardous seas which could capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Speeds should slowly diminish in the mid to late morning hours. There is a possibility that the Gale Warning could be replaced with a Small Craft Advisory later this morning, moreso in the bays, but we will monitor trends before doing so.

Reading the calendar: ↑ moonrise and ↓ moonset are local times. Stars are the solunar rating; “c” is the tide coefficient (20–120). Moon overhead and underfoot times are the major feeding periods, and moonrise and moonset are the minor ones; see each day on the tide pages.
