until early Friday morning
- Current Threat to Life and Property: High
- Remain braced against the reasonable threat for hurricane
force wind of 74 to 110 mph of equivalent Category 1 to 2
intensity.
- To be safe, efforts should fully focus on protecting life.
Properties remain subject to extensive wind impacts.
- Now is the time to urgently hide from the wind. Failure to
adequately shelter may result in serious injury or loss of
life. Remain sheltered until the hazardous wind subsides.
- Potential Impacts: Still Unfolding
- Potential impacts from the main wind event are still
unfolding.
- The extent of realized impacts will depend on the actual
strength, duration, and exposure of the wind as experienced
at particular locations.
* Storm Surge
- Latest local forecast: Life-threatening storm surge possible
- Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 4-6 feet
above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
- Window of concern: through Saturday morning
- Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
- Emergency considerations should posture for a reasonable
threat for dangerous storm surge flooding of greater than 3
feet above ground.
- To be safe, evacuees should be located within prescribed
shelters and well away from storm surge flooding capable of
significant impacts.
- Life threatening inundation is possible. Those who failed
to heed evacuation orders risk serious injury or loss of
life.
- Potential Impacts: Still Unfolding
- Potential impacts from the main surge event are still
unfolding.
- The extent of realized impacts will depend on the actual
height of storm surge moving onshore and the resulting
depth of coastal flooding as experienced at particular
locations.
* Flooding Rain
- Latest Local Forecast:
- Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 4-8 inches, with locally
higher amounts
- Current Threat to Life and Property: Elevated
- Emergency considerations should include a threat of
flooding.
- Be safe and remain ready to protect against flooding rain
impacts.
- If flood related watches and warnings are in effect, heed
recommended actions.

- Localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations.
- Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter
currents. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, 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 favorable for tornadoes
- Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
- Emergency considerations should include a reasonable threat
for tornadoes.
- Be safe and remain ready to protect against tornado
impacts. Stay informed.

approaches, quickly move to the safest place within your
shelter.
- Potential Impacts: Significant
- The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the
execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
- Several places may experience tornado damage with a few
spots of considerable damage, power loss, and
communications failures.
- Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped
or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed
about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

- To be safe, stay away from storm surge flooding capable of
limited impacts.
- Localized inundation is possible. Continue to follow the
instructions of local officials.
- Potential Impacts: Still Unfolding
- Potential impacts from the main surge event are still
unfolding.
- The extent of realized impacts will depend on the actual
height of storm surge moving onshore and the resulting
depth of coastal flooding as experienced at particular
locations.
* Flooding Rain
- Latest Local Forecast:
- Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 6-10 inches, with locally
higher amounts
- Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
- Emergency considerations should include a threat of
flooding.
- Be safe and remain ready to protect against flooding rain
impacts.
- If flood related watches and warnings are in effect, heed
recommended actions.
- 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, arroyos, 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 favorable for tornadoes
- Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
- Emergency considerations should include a reasonable threat
for tornadoes.
- Be safe and remain ready to protect against tornado
impacts. Stay informed.
- Listen for tornado watches and warnings. If a tornado
approaches, quickly move to the safest place within your
shelter.
- Potential Impacts: Significant
- The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the
execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
- Several places may experience tornado damage with a few
spots of considerable damage, power loss, and
communications failures.
- Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped
or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed
about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

- Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken
foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas
of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and
