...STORM SURGE WARNING IN EFFECT...

...TROPICAL STORM WARNING IN EFFECT...

A Storm Surge Warning means there is a danger of life-threatening

inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline,

somewhere within this area within the next 36 hours

A Tropical Storm Warning means tropical storm-force winds are

expected somewhere within this area within the next 36 hours

* LOCATIONS AFFECTED

    - Port Sulphur

    - Empire

    - Venice

* WIND

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Tropical storm force winds remain

      possible

        - Peak Wind Forecast: 25-35 mph with gusts to 50 mph

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 58

      to 73 mph

        - The wind threat has decreased from the previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Plan for dangerous wind of equivalent strong tropical

          storm force.

        - PREPARE: Efforts to protect life and property should now be

          underway. Prepare for significant wind damage.

        - ACT: Act now to complete preparations before the wind

          becomes hazardous.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant

        - Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with

          damage to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few

          buildings experiencing window, door, and garage door

          failures. Mobile homes damaged, especially if unanchored.

          Unsecured lightweight objects become dangerous projectiles.

        - Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater

          numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several

          fences and roadway signs blown over.

        - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within

          urban or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways,

          and access routes impassable.

        - Scattered power and communications outages, but more

          prevalent in areas with above ground lines.

* STORM SURGE

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible

        - Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 3-5 feet

          above ground somewhere within surge prone areas

        - Window of concern: Friday morning until Saturday morning

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for storm

      surge flooding greater than 3 feet above ground

        - The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the

          previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Plan for life-threatening storm surge flooding of

          greater than 3 feet above ground.

        - PREPARE: Evacuation efforts and flood preparations should

          soon be brought to completion before conditions become

          unsafe.

        - ACT: Leave immediately if evacuation orders are given for

          your area to avoid being cut off from emergency services or

          needlessly risk lives.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant

        - Areas of inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated

          by waves, mainly outside the levees. Damage to several

          buildings, mainly near the coast.

        - Sections of escape routes and secondary roads become

          weakened or washed out, especially in usually vulnerable

          low spots.

        - Major shoreline and marsh erosion.

        - Moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers.

          damage to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few

          buildings experiencing window, door, and garage door

          failures. Mobile homes damaged, especially if unanchored.

          Unsecured lightweight objects become dangerous projectiles.

        - Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater

          numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several

          fences and roadway signs blown over.

        - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within

          urban or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways,

          and access routes impassable.

        - Scattered power and communications outages, but more

          prevalent in areas with above ground lines.

* FLOODING RAIN

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:

        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: 2-4 inches, with locally higher

          amounts

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for

      moderate flooding rain

        - The flooding rain threat has remained nearly steady from

          the previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for

          moderate flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues

          are possible.

        - PREPARE: Consider protective actions if you are in an area

          vulnerable to flooding.

        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take

          action may result in serious injury or loss of life.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant

        - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations

          and rescues.

        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with

          swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places,

          especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams,

          creeks, canals, and ditches overflow.

        - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken

          foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas

          of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and

          poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on

          moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow.

          Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge

          closures.

* TORNADO

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:

        - Situation is unfavorable for tornadoes

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Tornadoes not expected

        - The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the

          previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Tornadoes are not expected. Showers and thunderstorms

          with gusty winds may still occur.

        - PREPARE: Little to no preparations needed to protect

          against tornadoes at this time. Keep informed of the latest

          tornado situation.

        - ACT: Listen for changes in the forecast.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Little to None

        - Little to no potential impacts from tornadoes.
