SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Potential Tropical Cyclone One continues to move northeast towards
the Florida peninsula.

* Regardless of formation, main impacts and hazards will remain the
same. Flooding rain, tornadoes, and squally weather will be the main
impacts across South Florida with the worst conditions expected
this morning.

* The main threat to the local area will be the ongoing and worsening flash
flooding from excessive rainfall. A Flood Watch remains in effect for South
Florida through Sunday morning.

* A few tornadoes will be possible through this morning.

* Minor coastal flooding from surge is also possible along the
Biscayne Bay shoreline, as well as coastal flood prone areas of the
Southwest Florida coast particularly around the times of high tide
today.

* Poor marine and beach conditions are also expected with a high risk
for rip currents across all South Florida beaches and elevated surf
along the Atlantic coast through the weekend.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* FLOODING RAIN:
Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
the southeast Florida coast. Remain well guarded against
life-threatening flood waters having additional
extensive impacts. If realized, these impacts include:
    - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
    - Ditches and canals may rapidly overflow their banks in multiple
      places. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.
    - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple
      communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
      away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes.
      Streets, parking lots and underpasses become submerged. Driving
      conditions become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with
      some weakened or washed out.

Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
the remainder of south Florida. Remain well guarded against dangerous
flood waters having possible significant impacts.

* TORNADOES:
Protect against a dangerous tornado event having possible significant
impacts across southern and east coast of South Florida. Potential
impacts include:
    - 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.

Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts
across the remainder of South Florida.

* WIND:
Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across
South Florida. Potential impacts include:
    - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
      mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
    - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or
      uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are
      shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
    - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
      or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
      bridges and other elevated roadways.
    - Scattered power and communications outages.

* SURGE:
Protect against locally hazardous surge having possible limited
impacts across coastal areas of southwest Florida and the Biscayne
Bay side of Miami-Dade County. Potential impacts in this area include:
    - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along
      immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
      farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    - Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become overspread
      with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where
      surge water covers the road.
    - Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly
      in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.
    - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,
      and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across South Florida, little to no impact is anticipated.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
During the peak of the storm be ready to move quickly. Keep your
shoes on and rain gear handy. Boots and athletic shoes offer the best
foot protection if you become unexpectedly exposed to the weather.
