* 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.
