THE MAIN THREAT FROM FAY WILL BE THE POTENTIAL OF CONSIDERABLE
FLOODING. THIS THREAT IS GREATEST IN THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
AND EXTREME SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ALABAMA. IF YOU LIVE
IN A LOW LYING AREA...MAKE PREPARATIONS TO MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND
IF FLOODING OCCURS. IF NECESSARY...SECURE SANDBAGS TO PROTECT YOUR
PROPERTY.
...WINDS...
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE REGION ON THIS EVENING. SOME OF THE STRONGER RAIN BANDS
MAY PRODUCE WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH...OR MINIMAL TROPICAL STORM
FORCE IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
...INLAND FLOODING...
SIGNIFICANT HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE DOMINANT THREAT FROM
TROPICAL STORM FAY. THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR RAINFALL AMOUNTS
AROUND 6 TO 8 INCHES IN THE SOUTHEAST ALABAMA COUNTIES NEAR THE
FLORIDA BORDER. RAINFALL AMOUNTS FURTHER NORTH INTO SOUTHEAST
ALABAMA WILL BE AROUND 4 TO 6 INCHES. THIS WILL LIKELY CAUSE
MODERATE FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS...ESPECIALLY WHERE HEAVIER
RAINFALL OCCURS. RIVER FLOODING MAY OCCUR IN THE DAYS AHEAD AS
HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURRING OVER SOUTH ALABAMA FILTERS DOWN INTO THE
RIVERS.
...TORNADOES...
AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT EXISTS FOR THIS EVENING AND SATURDAY
AS FAY MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.
...NEXT UPDATE...
THIS STATEMENT WILL BE UPDATED BY 12 AM EDT SATURDAY...OR SOONER IF
CONDITIONS WARRANT.
