TROPICAL STORM HANNA LOCAL STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
659 AM EDT FRI SEP 5 2008
...TROPICAL STORM HANNA CONTINUES TO HEAD TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST
UNITED STATES COAST...
AT 500 AM EDT...0900 UTC...THE TROPICAL STORM WATCH HAS BEEN
EXTENDED NORTHWARD TO SANDY HOOK NEW JERSEY. A TROPICAL STORM
WATCH IS NOW IN AFFECT FROM NORTH OF CHINCOTEAGUE VIRGINIA TO
SANDY HOOK JERSEY...INCLUDING THE CHESAPEAKE BAY NORTH OF SMITH
POINT...THE TIDAL POTOMAC...WASHINGTON D.C...AND THE DELAWARE BAY.
A TROPICAL STORM WATCH MEANS THAT TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE WITHIN THE WATCH AREA...GENERALLY WITHIN 36 HOURS.
THE HURRICANE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM NORTH OF EDISTO BEACH
SOUTH CAROLINA TO CURRITUCK BEACH LIGHT NORTH CAROLINA...
INCLUDING PAMLICO SOUND.
AT 500 AM EDT...0900Z...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM HANNA WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 28.0 NORTH...LONGITUDE 78.0 WEST OR ABOUT
750 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF FENWICK ISLAND DELAWARE.
HANNA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 20 MPH. A GRADUAL TURN
TO THE NORTH WITH AN INCREASE IN FORWARD SPEED IS EXPECTED LATER
TODAY. ON THE FORECAST TRACK...THE CENTER OF HANNA WILL BE NEAR
THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES LATER TODAY.
DATA FROM THE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS REMAIN NEAR 65 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS. ONLY
SLIGHT STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST PRIOR TO LANDFALL...ALTHOUGH IT
IS STILL POSSIBLE FOR HANNA TO BECOME A HURRICANE.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 315 MILES FROM THE CENTER.
THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE JUST REPORTED BY THE AIRCRAFT WAS
985 MB...29.08 INCHES.
HANNA COULD PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS THAT ARE LIKELY TO
SPREAD RAPIDLY NORTHWARD INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND NEW
ENGLAND FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AND MAY RESULT IN
FLOODING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD REACH 3 TO 5 INCHES WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING OF 1 TO 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL TIDE
LEVELS...ALONG WITH LARGE AND DANGEROUS BATTERING WAVES...CAN BE
EXPECTED ALONG THE DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY COASTS...AS WELL AS IN
THE DELAWARE AND CHESAPEAKE BAYS...AS HANNA MOVES NORTH. GIVEN THE
NEAP TIDE...THESE STORM SURGE VALUES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO PRODUCE
WIDESPREAD TIDAL FLOODING JUST BY THEMSELVES. HOWEVER...WAVE
ACTION PRODUCED BY STRONG GUSTY WINDS COULD INCREASE TOTAL WATER
HEIGHTS ALONG THE OCEAN FRONT AND THE BAYS. HEAVY RAIN COINCIDENT
WITH THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE COULD ALSO ENHANCE THE FLOOD THREAT
ALONG THE OCEAN AND BAY SHORES DUE TO THE FACT THAT RUNOFF WOULD
HAVE NOWHERE TO DRAIN.
