TO STRONG WINDS WITHIN 180 NM ACROSS THE N SEMICIRCLE AND WITH 
SEAS 10 TO 11 FT. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION ASSOCIATED 
WITH LOWELL. LOWELL WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN WHILE MOVING 
WESTWARD AND MOVE W OF THE AREA THU.

MIXED SWELLS IN EXCESS OF 8 FT WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE 
MAJORITY OF THE WATERS W OF 100W THROUGH THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS A 
RESULT OF SWELL PROPAGATING AWAY FROM KARINA...LOWELL...AND 
MARIE. MEANWHILE...THE WATERS E OF 100W WILL BE COMPARATIVELY 
MORE TRANQUIL WITH GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS AND 4 TO 6 FT SEAS 
EXPECTED.
