- Localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations.
- Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter
currents. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may
become swollen and overflow in spots.
- Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in
usually vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding
of water occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor
drainage areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds
become near-full and begin to overflow. Some brief road and
bridge closures.
* TORNADO
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
- Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes
- POTENTIAL THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Potential for a few
tornadoes
- The tornado threat has increased from the previous
assessment.
- PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for a
few tornadoes.
- PREPARE: If your shelter is particularly vulnerable to
tornadoes, prepare to relocate to safe shelter before
hazardous weather arrives.
- ACT: If a tornado warning is issued, be ready to shelter
quickly.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
- The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the
execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
- A few places may experience tornado damage, along with
power and communications disruptions.
- Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings,
chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or
overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off,
shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown
off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.

DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.
AVIATION...
00Z issuance...VFR conditions and light east winds prevail
overnight tonight. Cloud cover increases (though cigs remain at
VFR levels) and east winds strengthen to a steady 10 to 15 knots
with higher gusts Monday morning and afternoon. Rain chances also
increase, with scattered showers and thunderstorms initially
starting offshore and near the coast Monday morning, then
spreading inland throughout the remainder of the day. Expect
locally lower cigs/vis in and around the heavier storms. /49
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 447 PM CDT Sun Oct 7 2018/
NEAR TERM /Now Through Monday/...07.12Z Upper air analysis
shows a highly amplified pattern in the geo-potential height field
with a deep layer ridge positioned over the Mid-Atlantic and an
upper trof over the western US. At the surface, high pressure was
analyzed from the northeast US to the Mid Atlantic the first half
of the week. The upper air pattern holds in the near term.
Embedded mid level impulses rounding the base of the deep layer
ridge interacting with an increased tap of Atlantic moisture aided
in higher part by Tropical Storm Michael easing northward over
the lower Gulf, supports a mention of a chance of showers and
storms for Columbus Day. Long period swell is beginning to move up
into the surf zone and area web cams show an increase in rip
current activity. Have issued a coastal hazard message headlining
the high rip current risk. Larger breakers to begin Monday and a
high surf advisory has been issued for this. /10
SHORT TERM /Monday night Through Wednesday night/...Main weather
player heading into the middle of the week will be Tropical Storm
Michael, which is forecast to lift northward over the central
Gulf, approaching the northern Gulf by Wednesday. There are indications
that Michael will intensify and could become a hurricane as it
approaches the northeast Gulf coast by mid week. The western flank
of the current track cone of uncertainty extends from Pensacola to
the eastern flank of the cone just south of Cedar Key Florida.
With that in mind, forecasters want to stress that there remains
quite a bit of uncertainty at later forecast ranges with Michael
regarding how fast or slow it moves poleward between the mid level ridge
to the northeast and an upper trof approaching the Mississippi
Valley. This will have a significant bearing on future track.
Watches will be likely by Monday morning along all or a part of
the coastal zone forecast area. Given model spread and high
levels of uncertainty, forecasters cannot provide specific impacts
from surge, wind, and flooding rain threat as of yet. Stay tuned.
/10
LONG TERM /Thursday Through Sunday/...Michael is expected to lift
out well to the northeast of the local area by Thursday and
weakening over the Carolinas. A drier northerly flow spreads in
late in the week with a strong frontal passage. Daily highs cool
off to closer to seasonal late week into the weekend and could
see overnight lows dipping down into the mid to upper 50s north of
I-10 Friday thru Sunday AM. /10
MARINE...Winds increase and seas trend much higher over the next
few days as Tropical Storm Michael lifts northward over middle of
the Gulf. As Michael closes in on the northeast Gulf of Mexico
coast, tropical storm conditions are possible for much of the
coastal waters by Tuesday night into Wednesday. Stay tuned for
the very latest updates on Tropical Storm Michael. /10
