PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE THE FINAL PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT LIFE
AND PROPERTY.

AT THIS TIME...WINDS UP TO HURRICANE FORCE APPEAR POSSIBLE ONLY
NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST WHILE TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE
VERY LIKELY WELL INLAND. THESE WINDS WILL BE CAPABLE OF CAUSING
MINOR TO MODERATE DAMAGE TO MOST MOBILE HOMES. HOUSES OF POOR
CONSTRUCTION WILL HAVE MINOR TO MODERATE DAMAGE TO SHINGLES...
SIDING...AND GUTTERS. SOME STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

MAKE SURE TO SECURE LIGHT TO MODERATE WEIGHT ITEMS THAT COULD
BECOME AIRBORNE CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE INJURY.

IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO...STOCK UP ON NON-PERISHABLE
FOODS...LIKE CANNED GOODS AND BOTTLED WATER. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB
IS TO HAVE AT LEAST A THREE DAY FOOD AND WATER SUPPLY FOR EACH
PERSON IN YOUR FAMILY. REFILL ANY NEEDED PRESCRIPTIONS THAT YOU
MAY NEED IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING THE STORM.

&&

...PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE CONDITIONS...
THE CHANCE FOR HURRICANE CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS AROUND 10
PERCENT. THE CHANCE FOR TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS
UP TO 82 PERCENT.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN EARLY MONDAY EVENING. THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL THAT GUSTS TO HURRICANE FORCE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST
WILL ACCOMPANY THE HEAVIER BANDS WITH IDA MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY MORNING.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
A LONG PERIOD OF ONSHORE WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH IDA WILL CREATE
CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR STORM SURGE. AT THIS TIME...STORM SURGE
VALUES OF 3 TO 4 FEET ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
COAST. COMBINING THIS WITH THE ASTRONOMICAL TIDE PRODUCES AN
OVERALL STORM TIDE OF 4 TO 6 FEET POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY AROUND
THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE ON TUESDAY MORNING. BELOW ARE TIMES OF HIGH
TIDE FOR SELECTED LOCATIONS ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE.

DESTIN...HIGH TIDE AT 323 AM TUESDAY MORNING.

PANAMA CITY BEACH...HIGH TIDE AT 139 AM TUESDAY MORNING.

APALACHICOLA...HIGH TIDE AT 1107 PM MONDAY NIGHT.

IN ADDITION TO THE THREAT FOR COASTAL FLOODING...LARGE AND
BATTERING SURF WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT THE BEACHES ON MONDAY AND
ONLY INCREASE IN INTENSITY BY TUESDAY MORNING. SURF HEIGHTS OF
9 TO 12 FEET WILL BE POSSIBLE. THIS WILL LIKELY CAUSE MODERATE TO
MAJOR BEACH EROSION. NEEDLESS TO SAY...RIP CURRENT RISK WILL BE
EXTREME AND EVERYONE...EVEN EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS AND SURFERS
SHOULD REMAIN OUT OF THE WATER.

...INLAND FLOODING...
STORM TOTAL RAINFALL OF 3 TO 5 INCHES IS EXPECTED ALONG THE PATH
OF IDA WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THIS COULD CAUSE
MINOR FLOODING IN URBAN AREAS.

MOVING TO THE NORTH NORTHWEST AT 17 MPH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS
HAVE DECREASED TO NEAR 70 MPH...AND FURTHER WEAKENING IS EXPECTED.
STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 200 MILES FROM THE CENTER. 

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
EVEN THOUGH IDA IS WEAKENING AND BEGINNING THE PROCESS OF BECOMING
NON TROPICAL...THERE WERE STILL BE SOME SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO THE
REGION. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE TO BOATERS DUE TO DANGEROUS WINDS
AND SEAS. SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION AND POSSIBLE FLOODING OF LOW
LYING AREAS AND ROADS IS IS LIKELY ALONG PORTIONS OF THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND. SOME INLAND FLOODING IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT
AND TUESDAY WHERE THE HEAVY RAIN BANDS SET UP. WIND DAMAGE IS

PREPARATIONS. EVEN THOUGH IDA HAS BEEN WEAKENING...IT WILL STILL
LIKELY PRODUCE ENOUGH STORM SURGE AND HIGH WAVES TO POSE A FLOOD
THREAT TO COASTAL RESIDENTS IN LOW LYING AREAS. ALTHOUGH
SIGNIFICANT OR WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE IS UNLIKELY...LOOSE OBJECTS
SUCH AS GARBAGE CANS...PATIO FURNITURE...AND DEAD TREE LIMBS
SHOULD BE SECURED BEFORE THE STRONGER WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN MOVE
ASHORE LATER TODAY. LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE ADVICE OF LOCAL
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AND EVACUATE IF DIRECTED
TO DO SO. SMALL CRAFT SHOULD REMAIN IN PORT AND WELL SECURED.

BIG BEND. LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE...PARTICULARLY IF
A LARGE BAND ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF IDA MOVES OVER THE REGION.

TROPICAL STORM IDA CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES THE
NORTHERN GULF COAST...AND THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. 

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THREAT FROM IDA WILL LIKELY BE ALONG THE
COAST IN THE FORM OF ABOVE NORMAL TIDES...HIGH SURF...AND
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS. COASTAL RESIDENTS SHOULD PLAN ON
STORM TIDES UP TO 5 FEET...AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS TO
PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. THESE ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE...AS HIGHER WINDS AND RAIN FROM IDA WILL MOVE IN LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND MAKE OUTDOOR CHORES DIFFICULT. INLAND RESIDENTS
SHOULD...AS A PRECAUTION...SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS SUCH AS GARBAGE
CANS...PATIO FURNITURE...AND DEAD TREE LIMBS BEFORE THE STRONGER
WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN ARRIVE LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT.

&&

...PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE CONDITIONS...
THE CHANCE FOR TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS IS 50 PERCENT...MAINLY IN
GUSTS.  

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
A STORM SURGE OF 2 FEET IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE PANHANDLE COAST TONIGHT
AND TUESDAY. THIS SURGE WILL ADD TO THE NORMAL TIDE LEVELS...CREATING
ABOVE NORMAL TIDES. THE MAIN THREAT WILL COME DURING HIGH TIDE.
THE FOLLOWING IS THE NEXT TIME OF HIGH TIDE AT PANAMA CITY...

259 PM CST TUESDAY.

AT THIS TIME LOW LYING AREAS ALONG THE COAST WILL BE MOST
VULNERABLE...AS STORM TIDES MAY REACH 3 TO 5 FEET.
REMEMBER...STORM TIDE IS THE STORM SURGE PLUS THE ACTUAL TIDE. IN
THIS CASE...HIGH TIDE WILL BE ABOUT 1.5 FEET AND THE STORM SURGE
WILL BE AROUND 2 TO 3 FEET.

IN ADDITION TO ABOVE NORMAL TIDES...HIGH SURF...AND STRONG RIP
CURRENTS ARE EXPECTED. AT MID MORNING THE SURF AT PANAMA CITY WAS
ALREADY UP TO 3 TO 5 FEET...AND MAY REACH 7 TO 10 FEET TUESDAY
MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN WESTERN BAY AND WALTON COUNTIES. THIS
COULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION AND POSSIBLY FLOODING OF LOW
LYING AREAS AND ROADS.

...INLAND FLOODING...
STORM TOTAL RAINFALL OF 3 TO 5 INCHES IS EXPECTED ALONG THE PATH
OF IDA WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THIS COULD CAUSE
MINOR FLOODING IN URBAN AREAS.

...WINDS...
THE BEST CHANCE FOR TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WILL BE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY AS IDA DRAWS CLOSER...MAINLY IN
GUSTS. WIDESPREAD OR MAJOR DAMAGE IS UNLIKELY...BUT SOME TREES AND
POWER LINES COULD BE KNOCKED DOWN IN THE STRONGER SQUALLS. THIS
COULD LEAD TO SPORADIC POWER OUTAGES.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
510 PM EST SUN NOV 8 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
21Z WATER VAPOR AND H4 RUC ANALYSIS SHOWING A RATHER FLAT NORTHERN
STREAM FLOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE COUNTY/SOUTHERN CANADA.
BROAD UPPER RIDGING IS EXITING THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE
COUNTRY AS LONGWAVE TROUGHING APPROACHES FROM NORTHERN MEXICO/TEXAS.

AT THE SURFACE...STRONG 1027MB HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ALONG THE
MID-ATLANTIC COAST CONTINUES TO RIDGE DOWN INTO THE THE REGION.
AND...OF COURSE ALL EYES ARE ON HURRICANE IDA MOVING NORTH FROM THE
YUCATAN CHANNEL AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO.

AT 300 PM CST...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE IDA WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 22.2 NORTH...LONGITUDE 86.3 WEST...OR ABOUT 510 MILES
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

IDA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 10 MPH WITH MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 100 MPH...AND A CENTRAL PRESSURE OF 976MB OR
28.82 INCHES.

CHALLENGING FORECAST UNFOLDING FOR THE NORTHERN GULF COAST WITH
RESPECT TO IDA. THE CHALLENGING PART EVOLVES FROM THE COMPLEX
INTERACTION THAT IDA IS GOING TO HAVE WITH THE APPROACHING UPPER
TROUGH MENTIONED ABOVE...AND THE EVER TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN IDA AND THE STRONG HIGH TO OUR NORTHEAST.

OUR WEATHER WILL REMAIN QUIET OVERNIGHT FOR OUR LAND ZONES WITH JUST
SOME INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS. CONDITIONS ARE ALREADY ROUGH ACROSS THE
MARINE ZONES DUE TO THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT...BUT WILL GIVE MORE
DETAILS ON THIS IN THE MARINE SECTION BELOW.

HURRICANE IDA WILL CONTINUE NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL/EASTERN GULF
DURING MONDAY. THE HURRICANE WILL BE INTERACTING WITH AN UPPER
TROUGH/FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. THIS INTERACTION
WILL BEGIN WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS EXTRA-TROPICAL TRANSITION.
ESSENTIALLY THIS MEANS THAT THE STORM WILL BEGIN LOSING ITS TROPICAL
CHARACTERISTICS AND START RESEMBLING A MORE TYPICAL WINTER-TYPE
STORM. THE BIG QUESTION IS JUST HOW RAPIDLY THIS TRANSITION WILL
OCCUR. THIS PROCESS APPEARS NOW THAT IT WILL BE A BIT SLOWER TO
OCCUR AND IDA MAY APPROACH THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF COAST WITH AT
LEAST SOME TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS. AS A RESULT HURRICANE WATCHES
HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF THE PANHANDLE COASTLINE (SEE
WATCHES/WARNING SECTION BELOW). REGARDLESS OF THE EXACT STORM
TYPE...COASTAL EFFECTS ARE LIKELY TO BE THE SAME. EASTERLY WINDS
WILL SHIFT SOUTHEAST MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT WITH GALE
FORCE/TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ANTICIPATED OVER THE ENTIRE MARINE
AREA AND ALONG SOME COASTAL AREAS. THE EXTENDED DURATION OF THESE
WINDS IN COMBINATION WITH INCREASING SURF IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN
AREAS OF MODERATE TO SIGNIFICANT BEACH EROSION. STORM TIDES OF 3 TO
5 FEET ARE EXPECTED AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE MONDAY EVENING THROUGH
TUESDAY IN APALACHEE BAY...ESPECIALLY FOR MORE VULNERABLE LOCATIONS
ALONG FRANKLIN AND WAKULLA COUNTIES. FURTHER WEST ALONG THE
PANHANDLE STORM TIDES OF 2 TO 3 FEET ARE EXPECTED. COASTAL FLOOD
WATCHES AND HIGH SURF ADVISORIES ARE ALSO NOW IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS
OF THE COAST.

AS IT STANDS NOW...THE MAIN CONCERN AWAY FROM THE IMMEDIATE COAST
WILL NOT BE THE WIND...BUT RATHER RAINFALL POTENTIAL. ONCE THE STORM
HAS COMPLETELY TRANSITIONED TO EXTRA-TROPICAL IT APPEARS THAT THE
MAIN DEFORMATION ZONE/FRONTOGENESIS WILL BE PASSING JUST TO OUR
WEST/NORTH. HOWEVER...THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE A DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE
CONNECTION ON ITS EASTERN SIDE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY
RAIN BANDS. WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN BANDS SET UP WILL DEPEND HIGHLY
ON THE EXACT PATH OF IDA OR THE REMNANTS OF IDA...BUT THE TIME FRAME
WOULD BE LATER MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. WHEN THE DETAILS BECOME MORE
CERTAIN...FLOOD WATCHES MAY BE NECESSARY FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA.

LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SWING ACROSS THE AREA
LATER TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
AND DRIER CONDITIONS RETURNING ON BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS.

&&

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...
IT LOOKS LIKE MUCH DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY
AS THE REMNANTS OF IDA MOVE NORTH AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE
SURFACE RIDGE CENTER LOOKS TO MOVE MORE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC THAN
THE SOUTHEAST...THUS THE TEMPERATURES WILL NOT DROP OFF
SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND THIS FRONT. LOWS SHOULD ONLY FALL INTO THE LOW
TO MID 40S. HOWEVER...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CREATE A COUPLE OF
BREEZY DAYS UNTIL FRIDAY WHEN THE RIDGE AXIS FINALLY MOVES OVER THE
REGION. A GRADUAL WARM UP IS EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND AS BOTH
SURFACE AND MID LEVEL RIDGING BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEAST.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TONIGHT. BRISK EASTERLY WINDS OF
15 KT WITH GUSTS TO 20 KT WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON.
OVERNIGHT...GUIDANCE HAS BACKED OFF OF LOW CIGS/VSBYS FOR MOST TAF
LOCATIONS. STILL...VLD...ABY...AND DHN MAY BRIEFLY SEE MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS EARLY MONDAY MORNING. LOW CIGS AND BR SHOULD DIMINISH BY
MID MORNING WITH INCREASING WINDS AND SURFACE HEATING. WIND GUSTS TO
20 KT WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE LATER PART OF THE DAY MONDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
ROUGH PERIOD UNDERWAY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST GULF OF MEXICO. STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HURRICANE IDA TO OUR SOUTH AND HIGH
PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH IS ALREADY RESULTING IN SOLID ADVISORY LEVEL
CONDITIONS. THIS CONDITIONS WILL ONLY DETERIORATE FURTHER OVERNIGHT
WITH HURRICANE WATCHES NOW IN EFFECT FOR THE WESTERN LEGS AND GALE
WATCHES IN EFFECT FURTHER EAST. HURRICANE IDA IS EXPECTED TO PASS
JUST WEST OF OUR MARINE LEGS MONDAY NIGHT OR EARLY TUESDAY WITH
TROPICAL STORM OR EVEN HURRICANE FORCE GUSTS ANTICIPATED. THE
REMNANTS OF IDA WILL MOVE EAST OF THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY...HOWEVER STRONG NW WINDS TO ADVISORY LEVELS ARE EXPECTED
TO CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
RELATIVELY DRY CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING. AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY
MORNING...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO EAST THEN SOUTHEAST AND INCREASE AHEAD
OF THE IDA/THE COLD FRONTAL MERGER. DUE TO EXPECTED WET WEATHER OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE
CRITICAL LEVELS...THUS NO FIRE WEATHER HAZARDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
THE EARLY PART OF THE WORK WEEK.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS TODAY ALONG THE FLORIDA
BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE BEACHES...

...THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS MONDAY ALONG THE FLORIDA
BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE BEACHES...

...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN NOW EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING...EXCEPT BEGINNING AT NOON EST TODAY FOR THE NEARSHORE
WATERS...

...A GALE WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR THE WESTERN LEGS...

TODAY WILL BE THE PROVERBIAL QUIET DAY BEFORE THE STORM WITH
FILTERED SUNSHINE THROUGH HIGH CLOUDINESS ALLOWING HIGH
TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S OVER MOST
AREAS THIS AFTERNOON WITH INCREASING CLOUDINESS AND MILDER VALUES
TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
ALL EYES WILL BE TO THE SOUTH ON HURRICANE IDA WHICH AS OF 400
AM EST...WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 20.50 DEGREES AND LONGITUDE
85.60 DEGREES OR ABOUT 85 MILES EAST OF COZUMEL MEXICO. MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 90 MPH AND IT IS MOVING
TOWARDS THE NORTH-NORTHWEST NEAR 12 MPH WITH AN INCREASE IN
FORWARD SPEED EXPECTED. ALTHOUGH IDA COULD STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY
MORE INTO A LOW END CATEGORY TWO HURRICANE LATER TODAY...IT IS
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN THEREAFTER AS IT HEADS NORTHWARD
TOWARDS OUR COASTAL WATERS AND EVENTUALLY BECOMES AN EXTRA-
TROPICAL STORM. NONETHELESS...IDA COULD STILL BE A FAIRLY STRONG
SYSTEM BY THE TIME IT APPROACHES THE REGION...AND THE COMBINATION
OF IDA TO THE SOUTH AND A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE
NORTH IS EXPECTED TO CREATE AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS OVER THE EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE COASTAL
WATERS...WITH GALE FORCE CONDITIONS NOW ANTICIPATED OVER THE
WESTERN LEGS. THEREFORE...ALL MARINE INTERESTS SHOULD KEEP ABREAST
OF THE LATEST COASTAL WATERS FORECASTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE AND THE LATEST TROPICAL WEATHER ADVISORIES FROM THE
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER ON IDA...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT OUR
AREA INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. FURTHERMORE...THESE WINDS WILL
PRODUCE INCREASING SEAS AND BREAKING WAVES OVER THE AREA BEACHES
DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS WILL MAKE CONDITIONS RANGE FROM
HAZARDOUS TO LIFE THREATENING FOR ANYONE ENTERING THE WATER...WITH
POTENTIALLY DEADLY RIP CURRENTS AND MODERATE TO MAJOR BEACH
EROSION POSSIBLE. BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND BEGINNING OF NEXT
WEEKEND...HIGH PRESSURE WITH COOLER AND DRIER AIR SHOULD BUILD
BACK INTO THE REGION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED TODAY.
