* WIND
- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: EQUIVALENT STRONG TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WIND
- PEAK WIND FORECAST: 45-60 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 85 MPH
- WINDOW FOR TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS: UNTIL EARLY MONDAY
MORNING
- THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST
UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: POTENTIAL FOR WIND 74
TO 110 MPH
- THE WIND THREAT HAS REMAINED NEARLY STEADY FROM THE
PREVIOUS ASSESSMENT.
- PLAN: PLAN FOR LIFE-THREATENING WIND OF EQUIVALENT CAT 1 OR
2 HURRICANE FORCE.
- PREPARE: LAST MINUTE EFFORTS SHOULD SOLELY FOCUS ON
PROTECTING LIFE. THE AREA REMAINS SUBJECT TO CONSIDERABLE
WIND DAMAGE.
- ACT: NOW IS THE TIME TO SHELTER FROM LIFE-THREATENING WIND.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: UNFOLDING
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM THE MAIN WIND EVENT ARE UNFOLDING.

- PLAN: THERE IS LITTLE TO NO THREAT OF STORM SURGE FLOODING.
ROUGH SURF, COASTAL EROSION, AND LIFE-THREATENING RIP
CURRENTS ARE POSSIBLE.
- PREPARE: LITTLE TO NO PREPARATIONS FOR STORM SURGE FLOODING
ARE NEEDED.
- ACT: FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OF LOCAL OFFICIALS. MONITOR
FORECASTS.
- REALIZED IMPACTS: BEING ASSESSED
- LITTLE TO NO ADDITIONAL SURGE IMPACTS EXPECTED. COMMUNITY
OFFICIALS ARE NOW ASSESSING THE EXTENT OF ACTUAL SURGE

ACTION MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: SIGNIFICANT
- MODERATE RAINFALL FLOODING MAY PROMPT SEVERAL EVACUATIONS
AND RESCUES.
- RIVERS AND TRIBUTARIES MAY QUICKLY BECOME SWOLLEN WITH
SWIFTER CURRENTS AND OVERSPILL THEIR BANKS IN A FEW PLACES,
ESPECIALLY IN USUALLY VULNERABLE SPOTS. SMALL STREAMS,
CREEKS, CANALS, ARROYOS, AND DITCHES OVERFLOW.
- FLOOD WATERS CAN ENTER SOME STRUCTURES OR WEAKEN
FOUNDATIONS. SEVERAL PLACES MAY EXPERIENCE EXPANDED AREAS
OF RAPID INUNDATION AT UNDERPASSES, LOW-LYING SPOTS, AND
