Warning Description: Areal Flood Warning Warning Date: 12:10 PM EDT on August 21, 2008 WarningSum: Warning Message:The National Weather Service in Melbourne has issued a * Flood Warning for... Brevard County in east central Florida... Northern Lake County in east central Florida... eastern Orange County in east central Florida... Seminole County in east central Florida... Volusia County in east central Florida... * until 600 PM EDT * at 1205 PM EDT...reports from emergency management officials indicated street flooding continued across portions of the area. Additionally...Doppler radar was showing a continued rainband on the southwest side of Tropical Storm Fay rotating across much of the area. This will produce another two to three inches of rainfall in many locations. Flooding of roads...streets and intersections are likely to persist in these locations. Some homes and businesses may be subject to low lying and poor drainage flooding. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. A Flood Warning means that flooding is occurring now or is imminent. Lat...Lon 2897 8166 2921 8165 2929 8147 2898 8089 2886 8083 2887 8082 2888 8081 2897 8086 2895 8083 2856 8056 2842 8056 2831 8060 2833 8064 2853 8058 2858 8060 2843 8066 2832 8065 2832 8087 2859 8152 2896 8182 Warning Description: Areal Flood Watch Warning Date: 3:05 am EDT on August 21, 2008 WarningSum:...Flood Watch Now In Effect Through Friday Afternoon... Warning Message:The Flood Watch is now in effect for * all of east central Florida...including the following counties... Volusia...Indian River...Martin...Brevard...Lake...Okeechobee... Orange...Osceola...Seminole...and St. Lucie. * Through Friday afternoon * as the center of Tropical Storm Fay moves slowly northwest through Friday the potential for heavy rains and additional flooding will continue over east central Florida. The heaviest rainfall from Fay is expected to fall immediately to the south and west of the center of Fay today...then gradually transition to the south and east side of the center through Friday as Fay moves slowly northwest. Rainfall totals across northern sections of east central Florida may reach 4 to 8 inches with locally heavier amounts today as persistent rain bands wrap around the center. As Fay moves slowly to the northwest today through Friday...there may be periods of diminished rainfall in your area. However... the potential will exist for additional heavy rainfall to develop in rainbands to the east of the center...so remain vigilant to the potential for additional flooding through Friday. With many areas already receiving historic rainfall totals from Fay...it will not take much rainfall to further aggravate ongoing flooding or produce additional flooding problems in water logged areas. A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecast for Tropical Storm Fay. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for additional flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take quick action should additional flooding develop. Warning Description: Inland Tropical Wind Warning Warning Date: 11:32 am EDT on August 21, 2008 WarningSum:...Tropical Storm Wind Warning Now In Effect Until 8 Pm Edt Friday... Warning Message:...New information... Rainbands from Fay with intense torrential rain will spread across Seminole...Orange...Northern Lake and interior Volusia counties. As Fay tracks slowly north and then inland today...the threat for additional flooding will remain high across much of central Florida as additional rainbands develop near and south of the storm center throughout the day. Wind gusts to 45 mph will be common today...mainly in squalls. ...Areas affected... This statement recommends actions to be taken by persons in the following inland counties...Lake...Orange...Seminole...Osceola...and interior Volusia. ...Winds... Tropical storm force winds...mainly in gusts...will continue today. The strongest winds will occur near the circulation center of Fay...especially along the coast of northern Brevard and Volusia counties. However...even across the interior including Metro Orlando wind gusts between 35 and 45 mph will be common...especially in squalls. ...Inland flooding... Heavy tropical rainbands will continue to rotate around the center of Tropical Storm Fay...impacting most of east central Florida. The heaviest rain rates through mid afternoon should remain around one inch per hour...but torrential rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour will be possible. If torrential cells persist...significant flooding can develop quickly. An additional 4 to 8 inches of rain will be possible across portions of central Florida by late Friday. Even far from the center and after passage of the tropical storm...a very moist tropical airmass will make conditions favorable for bands of heavy rainfall to develop with torrential tropical rain rates. Residents throughout east central Florida should not let their guard down concerning the flood threat during the next several days. ...Next update... The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Melbourne around 3 PM...or sooner if conditions warrant. For a graphical version of this hurricane local statement...see the Melbourne National Weather Service web site at weather.Gov and then click on east central Florida.
