Tropical Storm Watch
... Tropical storm watch remains in effect...
... Precautionary/preparedness actions...
precautionary/preparedness actions...
Preparations should be made as soon as possible... before
conditions deteriorate. Keep informed while listening for
possible warnings. Secure loose outdoor objects which can be
blown around. Heed the advice of locally emergency management
officials. Those in flood prone areas should make preparations
for the possibility of periods of flooding rainfall Sunday
through Tuesday.
... Probability of tropical storm/hurricane conditions...
the chance for hurricane conditions at this time is very small.
Also... the chance for tropical storm conditions at this time is
up to 59 percent. This represents a general upward trend since
the last forecast.
... Winds...
as subtropical storm Beryl moves closer... the threat for
sustained high winds is likely to increase. The latest forecast
is for sustained winds to remain below tropical storm force.
... Inland flooding...
there is a potential for locally heavy rainfall on the order of
3 to 5 inches... possibly higher in isolated locations. Rainbands
will begin to move inland during the day Sunday. Periods of heavy
rainfall are expected to continue through Tuesday due to the
storm slowing down once it makes landfall and stalling over the
area. A Flood Watch has been issued for areas along and north of
State Road 16 in northeast Florida as well as all of southeast
Georgia.
