...FAY WEAKENS TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION...

...ALL TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS AND TROPICAL STORM WIND WARNINGS
HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED...

.AT 1100 PM EDT...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION FAY WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 30.9 NORTH...LONGITUDE 87.1 WEST OR ABOUT 60
MILES...EAST-NORTHEAST OF MOBILE ALABAMA AND ABOUT 30 MILES
NORTH-NORTHEAST OF PENSACOLA FLORIDA.

THE DEPRESSION IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 8 MPH.  A
GENERAL WESTWARD MOTION WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN FORWARD SPEED IS
EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO...BUT FAY COULD BECOME NEARLY
STATIONARY ON MONDAY.  ON THE FORECAST TRACK...FAY WILL BE MOVING
OVER SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI ON SUNDAY...AND WILL BE
LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI OR EASTERN LOUISIANA ON MONDAY.

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WSR-88D RADAR
DATA INDICATE THAT MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 35 MPH WITH
HIGHER GUSTS. VERY GRADUAL WEAKENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.

THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE BASED ON SURFACE OBSERVATIONS IS
999 MB...OR 29.50 INCHES.

STORM SURGE FLOODING IN AREAS OF ONSHORE WINDS ALONG THE NORTHEASTERN
GULF OF MEXICO COAST SHOULD GRADUALLY SUBSIDE DURING THE NEXT DAY
OR SO AS SUSTAINED WINDS AND GUSTS GRADUALLY DECREASE. 

FAY HAS PRODUCED TREMENDOUS RAINFALL AMOUNTS ACROSS PARTS OF OUR
REGION...WITH MANY STORM TOTALS IN PARTS OF THE EASTERN FLORIDA
BIG BEND BETWEEN 10 TO 15 INCHES...WITH SOME ISOLATED AMOUNTS
GREATER THAN 20 INCHES. THESE RAIN BANDS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT
WESTWARD DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS...BUT STORM TOTALS SHOULD BE
SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER TO THE WEST OF THE APALACHICOLA RIVER WHEN ALL
IS SAID AND DONE. 

ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY IN PORTIONS OF
THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE...WESTERN GEORGIA...AND SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
ALABAMA...ESPECIALLY DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON SUNDAY.

HURRICANE GUSTAV LOCAL STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
711 PM EDT SAT AUG 30 2008

...POWERFUL HURRICANE GUSTAV IS STILL STRENGTHENING...

.AT 500 PM EDT...THE EYE OF HURRICANE GUSTAV WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 22.1 NORTH...LONGITUDE 82.9 WEST OR ABOUT 130 MILES 
EAST-NORTHEAST OF THE WESTERN TIP OF CUBA AND ABOUT 80
MILES...SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF HAVANA CUBA. 

GUSTAV IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 15 MPH...AND THIS
GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. ON THIS TRACK...THE CENTER OF GUSTAV WILL CROSS WESTERN CUBA
TONIGHT...THEN EMERGE OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO EARLY 
TONIGHT...AND REACH THE NORTHERN GULF ON MONDAY.

DATA FROM AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 150 MPH...
WITH HIGHER GUSTS. GUSTAV IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CATEGORY FOUR
HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE. SOME FLUCTUATIONS
WITH AN OVERALL SLIGHT STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT
24 HOURS...AND GUSTAV COULD REACH CATEGORY FIVE INTENSITY DURING
THIS PERIOD. GUSTAV IS FORECAST TO REMAIN A MAJOR HURRICANE
THROUGH LANDFALL ALONG THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF COAST.

HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 70 MILES...FROM THE
CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 175
MILES.

THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE RECENTLY REPORTED BY THE
RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT WAS 942 MB...27.82 INCHES.

...TROPICAL STORM WATCH IN EFFECT...

...NEW INFORMATION...

A TROPICAL STORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR COASTAL WALTON...BAY...
GULF...AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES IN THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. 

...AREAS AFFECTED...

THIS STATEMENT RECOMMENDS ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY PERSONS IN THE
FOLLOWING COUNTIES OR MARINE AREAS:

	COASTAL WALTON...BAY...GULF...FRANKLIN.

...WATCHES/WARNINGS...

A TROPICAL STORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR COASTAL WALTON...BAY...
GULF...AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES IN THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. 

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

WITH A TROPICAL STORM WATCH IN EFFECT...NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT
YOUR PREPAREDNESS PLAN INTO ACTION. STOCK UP ON CANNED GOODS...
WATER...AND OTHER NON PERISHABLE SUPPLIES. PURCHASE BATTERIES...
FILL YOUR CAR UP WITH GAS...AND PURCHASE THE NECESSARY SUPPLIES TO
PROTECT YOUR HOME AND FAMILY SHOULD TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
ARRIVE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EXTRA CASH ON HAND. REFILL ANY
IMPORTANT PRESCRIPTIONS THAT WILL BE NEEDED THROUGH THE DURATION
OF THE STORM. REMEMBER...SUPPLIES SUCH AS FOOD...WATER AND
MEDICINE MAY BE IN SHORT SUPPLY IN THE DAYS AFTER THE STORM HAS
PASSED. LISTEN CAREFULLY TO YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
OFFICIALS...AND BE READY TO TAKE ACTION IF ADVISED TO DO SO.

ALTHOUGH THE MAIN THREAT FOR SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
IS EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...BANDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH GUSTAV MAY PRODUCE GUSTS TO TROPICAL
STORM FORCE OVER THE INTERIOR. 

IN PREPARATION FOR THESE GUSTS...RESIDENTS SHOULD SECURE LOOSE
OUTDOOR ITEMS SO THEY ARE NOT LOFTED INTO THE AIR. ANY AIRBORNE
OBJECTS CAN CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES AS WELL AS
INJURE ANYONE OUTSIDE DURING THE STORM.

ALSO...ALL SMALL CRAFT SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT AND COMMERCIAL VESSELS
SHOULD PREPARE FOR VERY STRONG WINDS AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS...AND
CONSIDER REMAINING IN PORT OR TAKING SHELTER IN PORT UNTIL WINDS
AND WAVES SUBSIDE. 

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...

SINCE HURRICANE GUSTAV IS FORECAST TO MAKE LANDFALL WELL TO OUR 
WEST ON MONDAY...A MAXIMUM STORM SURGE OF ONLY 1 TO 3 FEET IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EASTERN PANHANDLE AT THIS TIME.
ADDITIONALLY...ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES WILL BE VERY LOW THROUGH
THE PERIOD...REDUCING THE RISK OF COASTAL FLOODING DUE TO STORM
SURGE. HOWEVER...SEAS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
SUNDAY...PEAKING LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...AND SLOWLY
TRENDING DOWNWARD THROUGH THE MID WEEK PERIOD. THE COMBINATION OF
THE EASTERLY WIND WAVES AND SOUTHERLY SWELLS FROM GUSTAV WILL LEAD
TO EXTREMELY ROUGH CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO
THROUGH THIS TIME. SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHTS ARE FORECAST TO REACH
UP TO 15 TO 20 FEET LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...ESPECIALLY TO
THE SOUTH OF DESTIN AND PANAMA CITY. ALL SMALL CRAFT ARE URGED TO
REMAIN IN PORT DURING THIS TIME.

THIS WILL ALSO LEAD TO HAZARDOUS ALONGSHORE AND RIP CURRENTS AS
WELL AS DANGEROUSLY HIGH SURF ALONG THE EASTERN PANHANDLE BEACHES
BEGINNING SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY. SURF HEIGHTS WILL PEAK
AT 10 TO 13 FEET WITH OCCASIONAL HIGHER SETS. THESE CONDITIONS
WILL BE LIFE THREATENING TO ANYONE ENTERING THE WATER...INCLUDING
EXPERIENCED SURFERS.

...WINDS...

ALTHOUGH THE MAIN THREAT FOR SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
IS EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AS GUSTAV PASSES OFF TO OUR WEST...
BANDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HURRICANE MAY
PRODUCE GUSTS TO TROPICAL STORM FORCE OVER THE INTERIOR.

...INLAND FLOODING...

ALTHOUGH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE BANDS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...STORM TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN
SHOULD PRECLUDE ADDITIONAL WIDESPREAD INLAND AND RIVERINE FLOODING.

...TORNADOES...

ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

...NEXT UPDATE...

THIS STATEMENT WILL BE UPDATED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN
TALLAHASSEE BY 100 AM EDT.

HURRICANE GUSTAV LOCAL STATEMENT...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
758 PM EDT SAT AUG 30 2008

...POWERFUL HURRICANE GUSTAV ABOUT TO REACH THE SOUTHEAST GULF OF 
MEXICO... 

.AT 800 PM EDT...THE EYE OF HURRICANE GUSTAV WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 22.7 NORTH...LONGITUDE 83.4 WEST. THIS POSITION IS OVER
WESTERN CUBA ABOUT 65 MILES WEST-SOUTHWEST OF HAVANA. THE EYE IS
ALSO CURRENTLY CENTERED ABOUT 570 MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE NORTH-
CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO COAST.

GUSTAV IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 15 MPH...AND THIS
GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. ON THIS TRACK...THE CENTER OF GUSTAV WILL EMERGE INTO THE
SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND REACH
THE NORTHERN GULF ON MONDAY.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS REMAIN NEAR 150 MPH...WITH HIGHER GUSTS.
GUSTAV IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE ON THE
SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE. THERE ARE UNOFFICIAL REPORTS FROM
A CUBAN PROVINCE OF WINDS NEAR THESE ESTIMATES. SOME FLUCTUATIONS
WITH AN OVERALL SLIGHT STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT
24 HOURS...AND GUSTAV COULD REACH CATEGORY FIVE INTENSITY DURING
THIS PERIOD. GUSTAV IS FORECAST TO REMAIN A MAJOR HURRICANE
THROUGH LANDFALL ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST.

HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 70 MILES...FROM THE
CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 175
MILES.

THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE RECENTLY REPORTED BY THE
RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT WAS 941 MB...27.79 INCHES.

...TROPICAL STORM WATCH IN EFFECT...

...NEW INFORMATION...

A TROPICAL STORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR COASTAL WALTON...BAY...
GULF...AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES IN THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. 

...AREAS AFFECTED...

THIS STATEMENT RECOMMENDS ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY PERSONS IN THE
FOLLOWING COUNTIES OR MARINE AREAS:

	COASTAL WALTON...BAY...GULF...FRANKLIN.

...WATCHES/WARNINGS...

A TROPICAL STORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR COASTAL WALTON...BAY...
GULF...AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES IN THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. 

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

WITH A TROPICAL STORM WATCH IN EFFECT...NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT
YOUR PREPAREDNESS PLAN INTO ACTION. STOCK UP ON CANNED GOODS...
WATER...AND OTHER NON PERISHABLE SUPPLIES. PURCHASE BATTERIES...
FILL YOUR CAR UP WITH GAS...AND PURCHASE THE NECESSARY SUPPLIES TO
PROTECT YOUR HOME AND FAMILY SHOULD TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
ARRIVE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EXTRA CASH ON HAND. REFILL ANY
IMPORTANT PRESCRIPTIONS THAT WILL BE NEEDED THROUGH THE DURATION
OF THE STORM. REMEMBER...SUPPLIES SUCH AS FOOD...WATER AND
MEDICINE MAY BE IN SHORT SUPPLY IN THE DAYS AFTER THE STORM HAS
PASSED. LISTEN CAREFULLY TO YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
OFFICIALS...AND BE READY TO TAKE ACTION IF ADVISED TO DO SO.

ALTHOUGH THE MAIN THREAT FOR SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
IS EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...BANDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH GUSTAV MAY PRODUCE GUSTS TO TROPICAL
STORM FORCE OVER THE INTERIOR. 

IN PREPARATION FOR THESE GUSTS...RESIDENTS SHOULD SECURE LOOSE
OUTDOOR ITEMS SO THEY ARE NOT LOFTED INTO THE AIR. ANY AIRBORNE
OBJECTS CAN CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES AS WELL AS
INJURE ANYONE OUTSIDE DURING THE STORM.

ALSO...ALL SMALL CRAFT SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT AND COMMERCIAL VESSELS
SHOULD PREPARE FOR VERY STRONG WINDS AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS...AND
CONSIDER REMAINING IN PORT OR TAKING SHELTER IN PORT UNTIL WINDS
AND WAVES SUBSIDE. 

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...

SINCE HURRICANE GUSTAV IS FORECAST TO MAKE LANDFALL WELL TO OUR 
WEST ON MONDAY...A MAXIMUM STORM SURGE OF ONLY 1 TO 3 FEET IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EASTERN PANHANDLE AT THIS TIME.
ADDITIONALLY...ASTRONOMICAL HIGH TIDES WILL BE VERY LOW THROUGH
THE PERIOD...REDUCING THE RISK OF COASTAL FLOODING DUE TO STORM
SURGE. HOWEVER...SEAS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
SUNDAY...PEAKING LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...AND SLOWLY
TRENDING DOWNWARD THROUGH THE MID WEEK PERIOD. THE COMBINATION OF
THE EASTERLY WIND WAVES AND SOUTHERLY SWELLS FROM GUSTAV WILL LEAD
TO EXTREMELY ROUGH CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO
THROUGH THIS TIME. SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHTS ARE FORECAST TO REACH
UP TO 15 TO 20 FEET LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...ESPECIALLY TO
THE SOUTH OF DESTIN AND PANAMA CITY. ALL SMALL CRAFT ARE URGED TO
REMAIN IN PORT DURING THIS TIME.

THIS WILL ALSO LEAD TO HAZARDOUS ALONGSHORE AND RIP CURRENTS AS
WELL AS DANGEROUSLY HIGH SURF ALONG THE EASTERN PANHANDLE BEACHES
BEGINNING SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY. SURF HEIGHTS WILL PEAK
AT 10 TO 13 FEET WITH OCCASIONAL HIGHER SETS. THESE CONDITIONS
WILL BE LIFE THREATENING TO ANYONE ENTERING THE WATER...INCLUDING
EXPERIENCED SURFERS.

...WINDS...

ALTHOUGH THE MAIN THREAT FOR SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
IS EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AS GUSTAV PASSES OFF TO OUR WEST...
BANDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HURRICANE MAY
PRODUCE GUSTS TO TROPICAL STORM FORCE OVER THE INTERIOR.

...INLAND FLOODING...

ALTHOUGH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE BANDS OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...STORM TOTALS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN
SHOULD PRECLUDE ADDITIONAL WIDESPREAD INLAND AND RIVERINE FLOODING.

...TORNADOES...

ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

1229 PM EDT SUN AUG 31 2008

...MAJOR HURRICANE GUSTAV CONTINUING TOWARD THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...

AT 1100 AM EDT THE CENTER OF HURRICANE GUSTAV WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 25.3 NORTH...LONGITUDE 86.0 WEST OR ABOUT 325 MILES SOUTHEAST
OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...OR ABOUT 320 MILES SOUTH
OF PANAMA CITY BEACH FLORIDA. 

GUSTAV IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 17 MPH. THIS GENERAL
MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH A DECREASE IN FORWARD SPEED
DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. ON FORECAST TRACK...GUSTAV SHOULD
MAKE LANDFALL ON THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF COAST ON MONDAY.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 120 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. GUSTAV
IS A CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE. SOME
RE-INTENSIFICATION IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT 12 TO 24
HOURS...AND GUSTAV COULD REGAIN CATEGORY FOUR STRENGTH LATER TODAY
OR TONIGHT. FLUCTUATIONS IN STRENGTH ARE LIKELY THEREAFTER...BUT
GUSTAV IS FORECAST TO REMAIN A MAJOR HURRICANE UNTIL LANDFALL.

GUSTAV IS A LARGE TROPICAL CYCLONE. HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND
OUTWARD UP TO 50 MILES FROM THE CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 200 MILES. 

THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE JUST REPORTED BY A NOAA HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT IS 962 MB...28.41 INCHES.

GUSTAV CONTINUES TO BE A DANGEROUS CATEGORY THREE HURRICANE. THE
LATEST FORECAST SHOWS GUSTAV WILL BE APPROACHING THE LOUISIANA
COASTLINE LATE MONDAY MORNING. HIGH SURF WILL BEGIN IMPACTING THE
BEACHES OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE LATER THIS EVENING. 

...AREAS AFFECTED...

THIS STATEMENT RECOMMENDS ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY PERSONS IN THE
FOLLOWING COUNTIES OR MARINE AREAS:

COASTAL WALTON...BAY...GULF AND FRANKLIN...AS WELL AS OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS FROM DESTIN TO THE OCHLOCKONEE RIVER ENTRANCE OUT
TO 60 NAUTICAL MILES.

...WATCHES/WARNINGS...

A TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE AREA. 

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

AT THIS TIME IS APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST LIKELIHOOD FOR SUSTAINED 
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WILL BE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS OF THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE THIS EVENING THROUGH EARLY MONDAY.
HOWEVER...GUSTS TO 40 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE PANHANDLE
COAST...MAINLY IN SCATTERED FAST-MOVING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
AS A PRECAUTION...SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS LIKE PATIO FURNITURE AND
GARBAGE CANS AS THEY ARE MORE PRONE TO BLOWING OVER. TREE
LIMBS...SMALL SHRUBS...AND EVEN A FEW POWER LINES CAN BE BLOWN
DOWN AS WELL. BE PREPARED FOR SPORADIC POWER OUTAGES TONIGHT AND
MONDAY.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...

AS OF 10 AM CDT...TIDES WERE RUNNING SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL ALONG
THE COASTAL AREAS OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND IN FRANKLIN COUNTY.
SINCE GUSTAV WILL MAKE LANDFALL WELL TO THE WEST OF THE
AREA...OVERALL STORM SURGE VALUES OF 2 TO 3 FEET IS EXPECTED ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COAST. ASTRONOMICAL TIDES IN THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
AND IN THE WESTERN PART OF FRANKLIN COUNTY REMAIN LOW. AS A
RESULT...THIS WILL REDUCE THE OVERALL IMPACT OF THE STORM SURGE
AND LESSEN THE POTENTIAL OF COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COAST. 

BELOW ARE THE TIMES OF HIGH AND LOW TIDE AT AREA BEACHES ALONG THE
COAST. 

DESTIN...HIGH TIDE AT 1210 PM CDT SUNDAY. LOW TIDE AT 750 PM CDT
SUNDAY. HIGH TIDE AT 111 AM CDT MONDAY. LOW TIDE AT 650 AM CDT
MONDAY. HIGH TIDE AT 144 PM CDT MONDAY. 

PANAMA CITY BEACH...LOW TIDE AT 540 PM CDT SUNDAY. HIGH TIDE AT 1127 PM

EDT SUNDAY. HIGH TIDE AT 536 AM EDT MONDAY. LOW TIDE AT 1141 AM
EDT MONDAY. HIGH TIDE AT 543 PM EDT MONDAY. 

DURING TIMES OF HIGH TIDE...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR THE
SURF TO RUN UP TO THE DUNE LINE AND CAUSE MINOR BEACH EROSION.
MODERATE BEACH EROSION WILL BE POSSIBLE AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH
TIDE ALONG THE BEACHES IN BAY AND WALTON COUNTY...WHERE STRONGER
SURF CAN BE EXPECTED. SURF HEIGHTS WILL APPROACH 10 TO 12 FEET AT
TIMES WITH HIGHER SETS. ADDITIONALLY...THERE WILL ALSO BE HIGHLY
DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE COASTLINE FOR ANYONE...INCLUDING
EXPERIENCED SURFERS...THAT ENTER THE SURF.

...WINDS...

WINDS WILL BEGIN TO GRADUALLY INCREASE TODAY. SUSTAINED WINDS OF
15 TO 20 MPH NEAR THE COAST CAN BE EXPECTED. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT SUSTAINED
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WILL AFFECT THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE.
HOWEVER...IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE WIND TO GUST TO 40 MPH IN FAST MOVING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE OUTER FRINGES OF GUSTAV. THE
PROBABILITY OF SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS RANGE FROM 20
PERCENT AT CARABELLE TO 40 PERCENT AT DESTIN.

...INLAND FLOODING...

SINCE THE MAIN CORE OF GUSTAV WILL LIKELY REMAIN OFFSHORE THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE...WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED. STORM
TOTAL RAINFALL OF 2 TO 4 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE
EXPECTED...MAINLY IN HEAVY BUT FAST MOVING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE COAST. 

...TORNADOES...

ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TODAY AND MONDAY AS THE
WINDS INCREASE. TORNADOES ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL CYCLONES ARE
FAST-MOVING AND OFTEN DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO HEAVY RAIN.
