...TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT...
...NEW INFORMATION...
UPDATED FOR THE NEW LOCATION OF THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM DON.
THE LATEST FORECAST TRACK FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER HAS
SHIFTED A LITTLE NORTH WITH LANDFALL EXPECTED NEAR BAFFIN BAY
LATER THIS EVENING. NO CHANGES WITH THE CURRENT TROPICAL STORM
WARNING ALIGNMENT.
...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
THE ONSET OF GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINS CAN CAUSE OUTSIDE
ACTIVITIES TO BECOME DANGEROUS. SECURE LOOSE OUTDOOR OBJECTS WHICH
CAN BE BLOWN AROUND.
&&
...INLAND FLOODING...
THE FIRST RAIN BANDS FROM TROPICAL ARE MOVING INLAND AT THIS TIME
AND WILL STEADILY INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THROUGH THE
LATTER HALF OF THE AFTERNOON. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS EXPECTED
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS THE MAIN CORE OF DON MOVES INLAND.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF 4 TO 6
INCHES POSSIBLE ALONG AND SOUTH OF CENTER OF DON.
RESIDENTS CAN EXPECT MINOR FLOODING OF ROADS...ESPECIALLY THOSE
WITH POOR DRAINAGE. KNOWN INTERSECTIONS WITH VERY POOR DRAINAGE
MAY HAVE WATER LEVELS UP TO 3 FEET. OTHER POOR DRAINAGE AREAS
WILL HAVE WATER RISES OF 1 FOOT.
...WINDS...
AS TROPICAL STORM DON APPROACHES...SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN LATE THIS EVENING. MAXIMUM WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO BE IN THE 35 TO 45 MPH RANGE WITH BRIEF GUSTS FROM 55 TO
65 MPH. MINOR DAMAGE IS POSSIBLE TO MANY MOBILE HOMES... ESPECIALLY
THOSE THAT HAVE CANOPIES...AWNINGS...OR CARPORTS. POORLY
CONSTRUCTED HOMES MAY SUSTAIN MINOR WALL DAMAGE AND SIDING
DAMAGE. SOME LOOSE OUTDOOR ITEMS WILL BE TOSSED AROUND AND MAY
CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. A FEW POWER LINES WILL BE KNOCKED DOWN
RESULTING IN SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES.
...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
AS TROPICAL STORM DON APPROACHES THE COAST...THERE IS AN
INCREASING CHANCE FOR COMBINED STORM SURGE AND ASTRONOMICAL TIDE
WATERS UP TO 2 TO 2 AND A HALF FEET ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL WITHIN
AREAS CLOSER TO THE COAST...RESULTING IN WORST CASE FLOOD
INUNDATION OF 1 FOOT ABOVE GROUND LEVEL SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE SURGE
ZONE. THE MAIN EFFECT FROM STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE WILL BE
CONFINED MAINLY TO THE NORTH OF PORT MANSFIELD.
THE CONCERN IS FOR THE CHANCE OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING TO OCCUR
IN AREAS WITHIN THE SURGE ZONE...RESULTING IN SHALLOW INUNDATION.
MANY HOMES AND BUSINESSES ALONG THE SHORELINE...OR IN FLOOD-PRONE
AREAS...WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE SOME WATER ENTERING INSIDE...
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE STRUCTURES NOT RAISED OR PROTECTED BY A
SEAWALL. HIGHER WAVES AND POUNDING SURF WILL INCREASE THE
LIKELIHOOD OF PROPERTY DAMAGE NEAR THE COAST...ESPECIALLY IN
EXPOSED LOCATIONS. SOME CARS MAY TAKE ON WATER OR EVEN BECOME
DISPLACED.
MINOR TO MODERATE BEACH EROSION WILL OCCUR...WHICH MAY BECOME
SUBSTANTIAL IF CONDITIONS EXTEND THROUGH MULTIPLE HIGH TIDES.
SEVERAL ROADS IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS WILL LIKELY BE CLOSED.
...TORNADOES...
THERE IS A LOW RISK OF TORNADOES TO OCCUR WITHIN STRONGER RAIN
BANDS. THE RAIN BANDS FROM TROPICAL STORM DON WILL CONTINUE
TO MOVE INLAND LATER THIS EVENING WITH MORE FREQUENT RAIN BANDS
POSSIBLE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TORNADOES ASSOCIATED WITH
TROPICAL SYSTEMS CAN AND DO OCCUR WITH LITTLE OR NO WARNING.
