localized flash flooding and a few tornadoes are possible.
3. With evacuation orders in effect, follow the guidance of local
emergency management and evacuate if told to do so.
The Wednesday and Wednesday night time frame is when the greatest
impacts (potentially catastrophic) from Hurricane Michael will be
felt across the area. Michael continues to strengthen as it moves
northward and enters the southern Gulf of Mexico and is forecast to
be a major hurricane at landfall. Life threatening storm surge,
downed trees and power lines causing widespread and long lasting
power outages, structural damage impacting homes and businesses,
isolated tornadoes, and flash flooding are all expected. Your
hurricane preparations should be completed today.
.LONG TERM [Friday Through Tuesday]...
A dry stretch of weather is forecast Friday through Sunday, along
with a cooler and drier air mass. Temperatures will be more
seasonable with highs in the low to mid 80s and lows in the mid 50s
to mid 60s.
For Monday through Tuesday, a complex pattern sets up which leads to
uncertainty in the sensible weather details. The area will reside
between a cold front approaching from the west, high pressure nosing
down the eastern seaboard, and greater subtropical moisture to the
east. This leads to the potential for increased shower activity
during this period.
&&
.AVIATION [Through 18Z Wednesday]...
Conditions will start to deteriorate late tonight into Wednesday as
Hurricane Michael moves closer to the area. Winds will increase
through the period with lowering ceilings and bands of convection
starting to move onshore close to dawn.
&&
.MARINE...
Hurricane Michael is expected to have a major impact on the area.
Hurricane conditions are expected with the worst conditions expected
on Wednesday.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Red flag conditions are not expected for the next several days.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Given the track and intensity of Hurricane Michael, widespread
rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches with isolated 12 inch amounts are
possible. The highest of these totals will be in the Florida
panhandle and western Big Bend counties along and to the east of the
track of Michael. These rainfall amounts will result in flash
flooding.
Current river conditions are below normal levels. With the
anticipated rainfall, expect some of our river basins to rise above
flood stage. This appears most likely in the Ochlockonee River
basin, where there's potential that a couple of sites reach near
moderate flood levels.
