    Areal Flood Watch
    Statement as of 10:53 am EDT on August 20, 2008

    ... Flood Watch remains in effect through late Friday night...

    The Flood Watch continues for

    * a portion of southeast Georgia... including the following
    areas... Appling... Atkinson... Bacon... Brantley... Charlton...
    Clinch... coastal Camden... coastal Glynn... Coffee... Echols...
    inland Camden... inland Glynn... Jeff Davis... Pierce... Ware and
    Wayne.

    * Through late Friday night

    * Tropical Storm Fay is over east central Florida and is forecast
    to turn northwest and slow. As Fay moves closer to the area through
    today and Thursday... rainfall potential will increase as rain bands
    spread north. As a result... a Flood Watch is in effect for southeast
    Georgia.

    * Highest rainfall amounts... both preceding and directly
    associated with Fay... will favor eastern sections of the area.
    Based on the current forecast track... rainfall totals of
    around 5 to 10 inches are possible and farther inland amounts
    may vary from 4 to 8 inches. If Fay slows even further... then
    higher amounts can be expected.

    A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
    current forecasts.

    You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
    flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
    prepared to take action should flooding develop.

    Fort-Pierce-FL 27.46n 80.28w
    Altamaha-Sound-GA 31.29n 81.29w





    1235 PM EDT Wed Aug 20 2008

    ... Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect...

    ... New information...
    the latest forecast for Fay maintains the system along the coast
    through tonight... then weakens the storm and tracks it slowly
    westward across north central Florida Thursday into Friday... a
    little south of prior forecasts. The Hurricane Watch has been
    cancelled... but tropical storm warnings continue in effect.

    ... Areas affected...

    This statement recommends actions to be taken by persons in
    coastal portions of Glynn and Camden counties in southeast
    Georgia.

    ... Watches/warnings...

    Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to weather.Gov on the
    internet for more information about these additional hazards.
            Tropical Storm Warning.
    Flood Watch.

    ... Precautionary/preparedness actions...

    A Tropical Storm Warning is issued when sustained winds near
    tropical storm force... or frequent gusts at or above tropical
    storm force... are certain within the next 12 to 24 hours.

    ... Storm surge and storm tide...
    based on current track and intensity forecasts... onshore winds
    could result in total storm tides of 1 to 2 feet above normal
    tide levels through Thursday. Substantial beach erosion is
    likely... especially at times of high tides.

    ... Winds...
    winds will increase to 30 to 40 mph through Thursday... with
    higher gusts possible.

    ... Probability of hurricane/tropical storm conditions...
    the probability of tropical storm force winds is 40 to 60 percent.

    ... Inland flooding...
    through Friday... general rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches can be
    expected with locally higher amounts possible. If Fay tracks
    further north than currently forecast... amounts will be
    substantially greater.

    This amount of rain can produce flooding of roads... especially
    those with poor drainage.

    ... Tornadoes...
    isolated tornadoes will be possible through Thursday.

    ... Next update...
    this statement will be updated around 530 PM.
