    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored 
          mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
        - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or 
          uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees 
          are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown 
          over.
        - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within 
          urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving 
          conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways.
        - Scattered power and communications outages.

* STORM SURGE
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Localized storm surge possible
        - Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for up to 2 feet 
          above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
        - Window of concern: Begins this evening

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for storm 
      surge flooding greater than 1 foot above ground
        - PLAN: Plan for storm surge flooding greater than 1 foot 
          above ground.
        - PREPARE: Efforts should now be underway to prepare for 
          storm surge flooding, especially in low-lying vulnerable 
          areas.
        - ACT: Take actions to protect life and property. Prepare to 
          leave if evacuation orders are given for your area.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along 
          immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas 
          farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
        - Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become 
          overspread with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous 
          in places where surge water covers the road.
        - Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, 
          mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
        - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, 
          boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from 
          moorings.

* FLOODING RAIN
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: 
        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: 2-4 inches, with locally higher 
          amounts

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for 
      moderate flooding rain
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for 
          moderate flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues 
          are possible.
        - PREPARE: Consider protective actions if you are in an area 
          vulnerable to flooding.
        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take 
          action may result in serious injury or loss of life. 

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
        - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations 
          and rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with 
          swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places, 
          especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, 
          creeks, canals, and ditches overflow.
        - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken 
          foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas 
          of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and 
          poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on 
          moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. 
          Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge 
          closures.

* TORNADO
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: 
        - Situation is unfavorable for tornadoes

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Tornadoes not expected

        - PREPARE: Remaining efforts to protect life and property 
          should be completed as soon as possible. Prepare for 
          significant wind damage.
        - ACT: Move to safe shelter before the wind becomes hazardous.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
        - Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with 
          damage to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few 
          buildings experiencing window, door, and garage door 
          failures. Mobile homes damaged, especially if unanchored. 
          Unsecured lightweight objects become dangerous projectiles.
        - Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater 
          numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several 
          fences and roadway signs blown over.
        - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within 
          urban or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways, 
          and access routes impassable.
        - Scattered power and communications outages, but more 
          prevalent in areas with above ground lines.

* STORM SURGE
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Localized storm surge possible
        - Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for up to 2 feet 
          above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
        - Window of concern: Begins this evening

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for storm 
      surge flooding greater than 1 foot above ground
        - PLAN: Plan for storm surge flooding greater than 1 foot 
          above ground.
        - PREPARE: Efforts should now be underway to prepare for 
          storm surge flooding, especially in low-lying vulnerable 
          areas.
        - ACT: Take actions to protect life and property. Prepare to 
          leave if evacuation orders are given for your area.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along 
          immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas 
          farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
        - Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become 
          overspread with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous 
          in places where surge water covers the road.
        - Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, 
          mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
        - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, 
          boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from 
          moorings.

* FLOODING RAIN
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:

          amounts

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for 
      moderate flooding rain
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for 
          moderate flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues 
          are possible.
        - PREPARE: Consider protective actions if you are in an area 
          vulnerable to flooding.
        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take 
          action may result in serious injury or loss of life. 

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
        - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations 
          and rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with 
          swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places, 
          especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, 
          creeks, canals, and ditches overflow.
        - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken 
          foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas 
          of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and 
          poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on 
          moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. 
          Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge 
          closures.

          of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and 
          poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on 
          moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. 
          Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge 
          closures.

* TORNADO
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: 
        - Situation is unfavorable for tornadoes

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Tornadoes not expected
        - PLAN: Tornadoes are not expected. Showers and thunderstorms 
          with gusty winds may still occur.
        - PREPARE: Little to no preparations needed to protect 
          against tornadoes at this time. Keep informed of the latest

...TROPICAL STORM WATCH IN EFFECT...

A Tropical Storm Watch means tropical storm-force winds are possible 
somewhere within this area within the next 48 hours

* WIND
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind
        - Peak Wind Forecast: 10-20 mph with gusts to 35 mph

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 39 
      to 57 mph
        - PLAN: Plan for hazardous wind of equivalent tropical storm 
          force.
        - PREPARE: Efforts to protect property should now be 
          underway. Prepare for limited wind damage.
        - ACT: Act now to complete preparations before the wind 
          becomes hazardous.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored 
          mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
        - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or 
          uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees 
          are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown 
          over.
        - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within 
          urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving 
          conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways.
        - Scattered power and communications outages.

* STORM SURGE
    - No storm surge inundation forecast

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Little to no storm 
      surge flooding
        - PLAN: There is little to no threat of storm surge flooding. 
          Rough surf, coastal erosion, and life-threatening rip 
          currents are possible.
        - PREPARE: Little to no preparations for storm surge flooding 
          are needed.
        - ACT: Follow the instructions of local officials. Monitor 
          forecasts.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Little to None
        - Little to no potential impacts from storm surge flooding.

* FLOODING RAIN
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: 
        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: around 1 inch

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for 
      moderate flooding rain
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for 
          moderate flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues 
          are possible.
        - PREPARE: Consider protective actions if you are in an area 
          vulnerable to flooding.
        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take 
          action may result in serious injury or loss of life. 

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
        - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations 
          and rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with 
          swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places, 
          especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, 
          creeks, canals, and ditches overflow.
        - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken 
          foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas 
          of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and 
          poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on
