A compact UTC timestamp — day, hour and minute followed by Z — such as 201500Z for the 20th at 15:00 UTC.
Until further notice
The operation or danger has no scheduled end; the warning stays in force until a later message cancels it.
Area bound by
Introduces a list of positions that are the corners of an area — the polygon the warning applies to.

How warnings write positions: degrees, a hyphen, then minutes, with N/S and E/W — 49-40.8N 003-43.8W.
Wide berth requested
