Issued 9:54 AM AST 11 December 2018 A trough of low pressure over Newfoundland this morning will move
east of the marine district later today. Strong to gale force

This morning. The cold northwesterlies will also give freezing spray
to some of the northern marine district into this morning.

An intensifying low pressure system southwest of Georges Bank
Tonight will move to lie near Laurentian Fan Wednesday morning.
This will give strong to gale force north to northeasterlies to slope
waters which will increase to gale to storm force northerlies for
easternmost waters. Again, cold northerlies developing behind the low
will give freezing spray to parts of the north and western marine
district.

Marine interests are advised that a storm warning is in effect for
Laurentian Fan. Gale warnings are in effect for East Scotian Slope
and Banquereau-southeastern half.

In addition, freezing spray warnings are in effect for Fundy, Grand
