* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...We are on a downward trend on west and 
  north facing reefs, however, another shearline is anticipated 
  to move in shortly after the current one leaves. What this means 
  is the advisories will likely just be carried through the short 
  down period to the next elevated period. That way there isn't the 
  confusion of why products were cancelled to just be restarted.
