A Tropical Storm Warning means tropical storm-force winds are 
expected somewhere within this area within the next 36 hours

* LOCATIONS AFFECTED
    - Kitty Hawk
    - Nags Head
    - Manteo

* WIND
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind
        - Peak Wind Forecast: 15-25 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: Additional around 1 inch

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for 
      localized flooding rain
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for 
          localized flooding from heavy rain.
        - PREPARE: Consider protective actions if you are in an area 
          vulnerable to flooding.
        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations.
        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter 
          currents. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may 
          become swollen and overflow in spots.
        - Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in 
          usually vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding 
          of water occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor 
          drainage areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds 
          become near-full and begin to overflow. Some brief road and 
          bridge closures. 

* TORNADO
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: 
        - Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for a few 
      tornadoes
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for a 
          few tornadoes.
        - PREPARE: If your shelter is particularly vulnerable to 
          tornadoes, prepare to relocate to safe shelter before 
          hazardous weather arrives.
        - ACT: If a tornado warning is issued, be ready to shelter 
          quickly.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the 
          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
        - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with 
          power and communications disruptions.
        - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, 
          chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or 
          overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off, 
          shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown 
          off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.

          quickly.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the 
          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
        - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with 
          power and communications disruptions.
        - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, 
          chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or 
          overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off, 
          shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown 
          off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.

          usually vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding 
          of water occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor 
          drainage areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds 
          become near-full and begin to overflow. Some brief road and 
          bridge closures.
