  A Heavy Freezing Spray Warning is issued by the National Weather Service of the United States to warn vessels that rapid accumulation and icing of freezing water droplets due to a combination of cold water, wind, cold air, and vessel or vehicle movement is likely. Accumulation rates of 2 cm per hour or greater must be possible for a warning to be issued, or else a freezing spray advisory would be issued.
