ALTHOUGH TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCHES OR WARNINGS ARE NOT IN EFFECT
FOR THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS...INLAND VOLUSIA...NORTHERN LAKE...
ORANGE...SEMINOLE...OSCEOLA...OKEECHOBEE AND SOUTHERN LAKE...
POSSIBLE IMPACTS FROM RELATED HAZARDS ARE STILL A CONCERN.

PLEASE CHECK THE LATEST PUBLIC AND MARINE FORECASTS FOR DETAILED
INFORMATION ABOUT ADDITIONAL HAZARDS.

.STORM INFORMATION...
AT 11 PM EDT...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE SANDY WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 19.4N...LONGITUDE 76.3W. THIS WAS ABOUT 680 MILES
SOUTH SOUTHEAST OF CAPE CANAVERAL...OR ABOUT 610 MILES SOUTH
SOUTHEAST OF FORT PIERCE. SANDY WAS MOVING NORTH AT 13 MPH.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS WERE 90 MPH. MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE WAS
954 MB...OR 28.17 INCHES.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
HURRICANE SANDY IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN HURRICANE STRENGTH AS IT
MOVES NORTH ACROSS CUBA TONIGHT...THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
BAHAMAS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT AND THEN OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS
OFFSHORE EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA ON FRIDAY. THE LATEST FORECAST FROM
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER KEEPS THE CENTER ABOUT 180 TO 200
MILES OFFSHORE FROM THE EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA COAST.

INCREASING NORTHEAST TO NORTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE
DAY ON THURSDAY AND INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE
EXPECTED FROM FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AS SANDY MAKES ITS
CLOSEST APPROACH TO EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA.

ON THE CURRENT FORECAST PATH...SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST...BEACHES AND ATLANTIC WATERS...
SPREADING NORTHWARD FROM MARTIN COUNTY BEGINNING LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO VOLUSIA COUNTY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...GUSTS TO
TROPICAL STORM FORCE ARE LIKELY IN SQUALLS FOR SEVERAL HOURS
BEFORE THE ONSET OF THE STRONGEST SUSTAINED WINDS. THESE SQUALLS
WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON THURSDAY...AND WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

BECAUSE THESE RAIN BANDS AND SQUALLS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE
REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS...TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
ONE TO THREE INCHES ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST WITH ISOLATED
AMOUNTS OF THREE TO FIVE INCHES THROUGH LATE FRIDAY. THIS MAY
CAUSE LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS ALONG THE
COASTAL COUNTIES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE OVER THE TREASURE COAST
COUNTIES OF INDIAN RIVER...SAINT LUCIE AND MARTIN WHERE THE
HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS WERE RECEIVED FROM TROPICAL STORM ISAAC
IN LATE AUGUST.

LARGE AND BATTERING SURF WILL MAKE THE OCEAN HAZARDOUS...AND
ENTERING THE WATER IS NOT ADVISED. MODERATE BEACH AND SOME DUNE
EROSION IS ALSO EXPECTED.

WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS SANDY APPROACHES. SMALL CRAFT SHOULD
REMAIN IN PORT.

FOR MARINE INTERESTS...A TROPICAL STORM WARNING CONTINUES FOR
ALL OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA ATLANTIC WATERS. 

TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCHES OR WARNINGS ARE NOT IN EFFECT FOR THE
FOLLOWING LOCATIONS...INLAND VOLUSIA...LAKE...ORANGE...SEMINOLE...
OSCEOLA AND OKEECHOBEE.

.STORM INFORMATION...
AT 11 AM EDT...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE SANDY WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 22.4N...LONGITUDE 75.5W. THIS WAS ABOUT 520 MILES
SOUTHEAST OF CAPE CANAVERAL FL...OR ABOUT 460 MILES SOUTHEAST OF
FORT PIERCE FL. STORM MOTION WAS NORTH AT 16 MPH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
WINDS WERE 105 MPH.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
HURRICANE SANDY IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN HURRICANE STRENGTH AS IT
MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN BAHAMAS THROUGH
TONIGHT AND THEN OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS OFFSHORE EAST CENTRAL
FLORIDA ON FRIDAY. THE LATEST FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE
CENTER KEEPS THE CENTER ABOUT 200 TO 250 MILES OFFSHORE FROM THE

BEFORE THE ONSET OF THE STRONGEST SUSTAINED WINDS. THESE SQUALLS
WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...AND WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

BECAUSE THESE RAIN BANDS AND SQUALLS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE
REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS...TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
ONE TO THREE INCHES ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST WITH ISOLATED
AMOUNTS OF THREE TO FIVE INCHES THROUGH LATE FRIDAY. THIS MAY
CAUSE LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS ALONG THE
COASTAL COUNTIES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE OVER THE TREASURE COAST
COUNTIES OF INDIAN RIVER...SAINT LUCIE AND MARTIN WHERE THE
HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS WERE RECEIVED FROM TROPICAL STORM ISAAC
IN LATE AUGUST.

LARGE AND BATTERING SURF WILL MAKE THE OCEAN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS...
AND ENTERING THE WATER IS NOT ADVISED. MODERATE BEACH AND SOME
DUNE EROSION IS ALSO EXPECTED.

SURF...AND MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IN VULNERABLE SPOTS SUCH AS
BATHTUB REEF BEACH IN MARTIN COUNTY. LARGE BREAKERS UP TO 8 FEET
WILL CAUSE EROSION TO DUNES DURING MULTIPLE HIGH TIDAL CYCLES
TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.

THE SURF WILL BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY. BEACH GOERS SHOULD REMAIN OUT OF THE POUNDING
SURF. THE LARGE SURF CAN KNOCK YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU SUSCEPTIBLE
TO THE SEAWARD PULL OF RIP CURRENTS.

...INLAND FLOODING...

DOPPLER RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS THAT A LARGE SHIELD OF LIGHT TO
OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAIN ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF SANDY'S
CENTER HAS STARTED TO SPREAD NORTH AND WEST FROM THE BAHAMAS AND
SOUTH FLORIDA INTO THE TREASURE COAST AND LAKE OKEECHOBEE REGIONS.
RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE ON AND OFF OVERNIGHT AS IT SPREADS SLOWLY
NORTHWARD. COVERAGE OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO A
MOSTLY STEADY RAINFALL ON FRIDAY.

RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN
1 AND 3 INCHES OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES...WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS
OF 3 TO 6 INCHES. IT APPEARS THE BEST CHANCE FOR THESE HIGHER
RAINFALL TOTALS WILL BE OVER THE TREASURE COAST COUNTIES OF MARTIN
SAINT LUCIE AND INDIAN RIVER...WHERE THE WATER TABLE IS STILL
LIKELY A LITTLE HIGHER THAN NORMAL DUE TO RAINFALL FROM TROPICAL
STORM ISAAC IN LATE AUGUST.

IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROAD OR POOR DRAINAGE
FLOODING...BE PREPARED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED FLOODING
OF SMALL CREEKS...STREAMS...CANALS...OR CULVERTS. DO NOT DRIVE
ONTO WATER COVERED ROADWAYS AS THE WATER DEPTH MAY NOT ALLOW YOU
TO CROSS SAFELY.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MELBOURNE FL
1204 AM EDT FRI OCT 26 2012

...WINDS AND SQUALLS WILL INCREASE AS THE CENTER OF SANDY MAKES
ITS CLOSEST APPROACH ON FRIDAY...

.NEW INFORMATION...
THE CENTER OF SANDY HAS REACHED THE NORTHERN BAHAMAS. WINDS...RAIN
AND SQUALLS CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN INTENSITY OVER THE ADJACENT
ATLANTIC.

.AREAS AFFECTED...
THIS LOCAL STATEMENT PROVIDES IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS FOR PEOPLE AND MARINE INTERESTS IN SELECT
LOCATIONS AND COASTAL WATER LEGS OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA AND
ATLANTIC WATERS.

.WATCHES/WARNINGS...
A TROPICAL STORM WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS...
SOUTHERN BREVARD...INDIAN RIVER...ST. LUCIE...MARTIN...COASTAL
VOLUSIA AND NORTHERN BREVARD. 

FOR MARINE INTERESTS...A TROPICAL STORM WARNING CONTINUES FOR
ALL OF EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA ATLANTIC WATERS. 

ALTHOUGH TROPICAL CYCLONE WATCHES OR WARNINGS ARE NOT IN EFFECT
FOR INLAND VOLUSIA...LAKE...SEMINOLE...ORANGE...OSCEOLA...AND
OKEECHOBEE COUNTIES...IMPACTS FROM SANDY ARE STILL A CONCERN.

.STORM INFORMATION...
AT 11 PM EDT...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE SANDY WAS LOCATED NEAR
LATITUDE 25.3N...LONGITUDE 76.1W. THIS WAS ABOUT 350 MILES
SOUTHEAST OF CAPE CANAVERAL FL...OR ABOUT 300 MILES EAST SOUTHEAST
OF FORT PIERCE FL. SANDY WAS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH NORTHWEST AT
13 MPH. A TEMPORARY TURN TOWARD THE NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED ON
FRIDAY...FOLLOWED BY A TURN BACK TOWARD THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST
AWAY FROM FLORIDA FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED
WINDS WERE 90 MPH.

.SITUATION OVERVIEW...
HURRICANE SANDY IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHWEST AND EMERGE NORTH OF
THE BAHAMAS EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...THEN TURN AND MOVE NORTHWARD
OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS OFFSHORE EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA BY FRIDAY
NIGHT. THE LATEST FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER
KEEPS THE CENTER OF SANDY ABOUT 170 TO 200 MILES OFFSHORE THE EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA COAST AT ITS CLOSEST POINT OF APPROACH.

OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES...SUSTAINED NORTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO 25
MPH WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS THEY BECOME
MORE NORTHERLY. PEAK SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH WITH
GUSTS OVER 40 MPH ARE EXPECTED FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING AS SANDY MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA. WINDS OVER INLAND AREAS WILL TOP OUT BETWEEN 20
AND 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS.

GUSTS UP TO TROPICAL STORM FORCE HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN
SQUALLS THUS FAR OVER THE SPACE AND TREASURE COAST. AS SANDY'S
SPEED OF FORWARD MOTION SLOWS DOWN AND THE WORST OF THE WEATHER
IMPACTS THE AREA FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...WIND GUSTS IN SQUALLS
WILL EASILY EXCEED 40 MPH...AND MAY REACH 50 TO 60 MPH OVER
COASTAL AREAS...ESPECIALLY AT THE BEACHES.

BECAUSE THESE RAIN BANDS AND SQUALLS ARE FORECAST TO MOVE
REPEATEDLY OVER THE SAME LOCATIONS...WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS
TOTALING ONE TO THREE INCHES ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE COAST...WITH
ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF THREE TO SIX INCHES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.
THIS WILL LIKELY CAUSE LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER IN POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS THROUGHOUT THE COASTAL COUNTIES.

LARGE AND BATTERING SURF WILL MAKE THE OCEAN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS
AND ENTERING THE WATER IS NOT ADVISED. MODERATE BEACH AND SOME
DUNE EROSION IS ALSO EXPECTED.

WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE RAPIDLY THIS EVENING
INTO TONIGHT AND FRIDAY AS SANDY APPROACHES. SMALL CRAFT SHOULD
REMAIN IN PORT.

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

FOR THOSE UNDER A WARNING...PREPARATIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF
LIFE AND PROPERTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED...SINCE WEATHER
CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE FURTHER OVERNIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. 

DURING THE STORM...STAY INSIDE. DO NOT VENTURE OUTSIDE WHEN HIGH
WINDS ARE OCCURRING OR DURING TEMPORARY LULLS AS LIGHTWEIGHT
OBJECTS CAN EASILY BECOME AIRBORNE SUDDENLY...CAUSING YOU SERIOUS
INJURY IF YOU ARE STRUCK.
