DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM EDT (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Danny was
located near latitude 32.3 North, longitude 80.1 West. Danny is
moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h) and this
general motion is expected to continue into Tuesday. On the
forecast track, Danny will make landfall along the southern coast
of South Carolina early this evening, and move into east-central
Georgia late tonight and early Tuesday morning.
 
Data from NOAA Doppler radars and reconnaissance aircraft indicate
that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 45 mph (75 km/h)
with higher gusts. No change in strength is expected until landfall
occurs in a few hours.  Rapid weakening is forecast after Danny 
moves inland.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km)
from the center.
 
The minimum central pressure based on reports from An Air Force
Reserve Unit reconnaissance aircraft is estimated to be 1009 mb
(29.80 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Tropical Storm Danny can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4, WMO header WTNT44
KNHC and on the web at
www.hurricanes.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?key_messages.
 
WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the
coast within the warning area very soon making outside preparations
difficult or dangerous.
 
RAINFALL:  Danny could produce 1 to 3 inches of rainfall with
locally higher amounts along the immediate coasts of Georgia and
southern South Carolina. This region has been dry, limiting
potential widespread flooding impacts, however, local flooding
impacts, especially in urban areas along the southern South Carolina
and Georgia coasts, cannot be ruled out at this time.
 
Farther inland, 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is possible across Upstate
South Carolina, the Piedmont of Georgia, and into northeastern
Alabama.
 
STORM SURGE:  The combination of storm surge and the tide will cause 
normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters 
moving inland from the shoreline.  The water could reach the 
following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if 
the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
 
Port Royal Sound, SC to South Santee River, SC...1 to 3 ft
 
Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge
and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.  For
information specific to your area, please see products issued by
your local National Weather Service forecast office.

TORNADOES:  An isolated tornado will be possible this evening along 
the South Carolina coast.
