...TROPICAL STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT...

...NEW INFORMATION...
STORM IMPACTS AND POSITION HAVE BEEN UPDATED.

...AREAS AFFECTED...
THIS STATEMENT RECOMMENDS SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY
RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA.

...WATCHES/WARNINGS...
THE FOLLOWING ARE IN EFFECT FOR THE AREA...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH...

...STORM INFORMATION...
AT 1100 PM EDT...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM FAY WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 27.7 NORTH...LONGITUDE 80.7 WEST OR ABOUT 30
MILES SOUTH SOUTHWEST OF MELBOURNE FLORIDA. THIS IS ABOUT 299
MILES SOUTH SOUTHEAST OF SAVANNAH GEORGIA AND 355 MILES SOUTH OF
CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA.

FAY HAS BEEN MOVING ERRATICALLY OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS BUT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE TOWARD THE NORTH NORTHEAST NEAR 5 MPH OVERNIGHT.
A GRADUAL TURN TOWARD THE NORTH IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 12 TO
24 HOURS. ON THIS TRACK...THE CENTER OF FAY WILL MOVE JUST
OFFSHORE OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS ON WEDNESDAY. FAY IS LIKELY TO
REMAIN NEAR OR OVER THE NORTHEAST OR EAST-CENTRAL FLORIDA COAST
THROUGH THURSDAY.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE DECREASED TO NEAR 50 MPH WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. SOME FURTHER WEAKENING IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT BUT FAY WILL
LIKELY BEGIN TO RESTRENGTHEN WHEN IT MOVES OVER THE ATLANTIC
WATERS ON WEDNESDAY AND IS FORECAST TO BECOME A HURRICANE ON
THURSDAY. MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 29.23 INCHES.

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH MEANS TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS...WINDS OF
39 TO 73 MPH...ARE POSSIBLE WITHIN THE NEXT 36 HOURS.

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A PLAN OF ACTION WHEN A TROPICAL STORM
THREATENS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ONE...NOW IS THE TIME TO FORMULATE
ONE.

SPORADIC POWER OUTAGES MAY OCCUR. HAVE BATTERY POWERED APPLIANCES
ON HAND IN CASE POWER IS LOST. A BATTERY POWERED NOAA WEATHER
RADIO ALL HAZARDS DEVICE IS ALSO A GOOD WAY TO KEEP ABREAST OF THE
LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION...ESPECIALLY IF POWER IS LOST.

HAVE WORKABLE FLASHLIGHTS OR PORTABLE LANTERNS. HAVE A SUPPLY OF
SPARE BATTERIES. USE BATTERY POWERED LIGHTS INSTEAD OF CANDLES TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTALLY STARTING A FIRE. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND FIRE
FIGHTERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REACH YOU DURING THE STORM.

IF YOU USE A PORTABLE POWER GENERATOR IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS BE
CAREFUL. OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING...ELECTROCUTIONS OR A FIRE. PORTABLE GENERATORS SHOULD
ONLY BE OPERATED OUTDOORS IN A DRY AND WELL VENTILATED AREA.

BOAT OWNERS SHOULD MAKE PREPARATIONS TO REMOVE THEIR BOATS FROM
THE WATER OR SECURE THEM.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
PERSISTENT EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL HELP DRIVE TIDES UP
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT ALONG THE NORTH GEORGIA COAST. TIDE LEVELS
OF 1 TO 3 FEET ABOVE PREDICTED LEVELS CAN BE EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY
ON THURSDAY AS FAY MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO THE REGION. THESE
ELEVATED TIDES MAY PRODUCE SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE
COAST...RIVERS AND ADJACENT MARSH AREAS.

...WINDS...
EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL STEADILY INCREASE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY AS FAY APPROACHES THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA COAST AS A
MINIMAL HURRICANE. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH MINIMAL TROPICAL
STORM FORCE ALONG THE NORTH GEORGIA COAST...PEAKING IN THE 30 TO 40
MPH RANGE WITH THE HIGHEST WINDS OCCURRING ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS
OF LIBERTY AND MCINTOSH COUNTIES. SLIGHTLY LOWER WINDS ARE EXPECTED
FARTHER INLAND...WHICH INCLUDES THE SAVANNAH METRO AREA. HOWEVER
WINDS COULD GUST IN EXCESS OF 45 MPH JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE ACROSS
THE REGION THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS SQUALLS MOVE ONSHORE.

WINDS OF THIS MAGNITUDE ARE CAPABLE OF DOWNING POWERLINES AND
SMALL TO MODERATE SIZE TREES. SATURATED SOILS FROM HEAVY RAINS
EXPERIENCED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS MAY ALSO INCREASE THE RISK FOR
DOWNED TREES AND POWERLINES.

...INLAND FLOODING...
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES MAY OCCUR ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST
GEORGIA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS FAY MOVES SLOWLY TOWARDS THE
NORTHEAST FLORIDA COAST. THESE AMOUNTS MAY PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT
FLOODING ACROSS THE REGION. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED
FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING UNTIL FRIDAY MORNING. LEVELS ON AREA RIVERS
REMAIN VERY LOW. WHILE SOME RISES CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...THE RISK FOR RIVER FLOODING...AT LEAST IN THE SHORT
TERM...IS LOW.

...TORNADOES...
THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES ACROSS THE REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING AS BANDS ROTATING AROUND THE
CENTER OF FAY MOVE INLAND.

...RIP CURRENTS AND BEACH EROSION...
THERE WILL BE AN ELEVATED RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE BEACHES
OF NORTH COASTAL GEORGIA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. A PERSISTENT
NORTHEAST TO EAST WIND WILL ALSO PRODUCE MODERATE TO MAJOR BEACH
EROSION ALONG THE BEACHES...ESPECIALLY EAST AND NORTHEAST FACING
BEACHES SUCH AS TYBEE ISLAND.

...NEXT UPDATE...
THE NEXT TROPICAL STORM FAY INTERMEDIATE LOCAL STATEMENT WILL BE
ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN CHARLESTON BY 3 AM OR
SOONER IF CONDITIONS WARRANT.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN ADVISORIES ISSUED BY THE
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER...AS WELL AS PUBLIC INFORMATION
STATEMENTS AND SHORT TERM FORECASTS ISSUED BY THIS OFFICE.
