The Tropical Storm Warning is for 'marine interests' and mariners. It serves to warn and forewarn that tropical storm conditions are forecast in the particular areas of the Gulf of Mexico- GOM. Most ships don't have the ability to move faster thatn 25kts. So the warning gives them ample time to change course, anchor in place or delay their departure from a 'safe haven'. Somewhat similar to the Storm Prediction Centers Day 1- Day 3 Outlooks. Long range planning!!
