SITUATION OVERVIEW

——————

Heavy rain leading to flooding will be possible, especially along and southeast of the Interstate 95 corridor due to Tropical Storm Fay. Tropical Storm Fay is currently off the Virginia coast. It is expected to progress north over our region through Friday. Heavy rain is possible beginning very late tonight and continuing through Friday evening. The threat for tropical storm winds over land is very low except right along the New Jersey coast.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS

—————–

* FLOODING RAIN:

Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant

impacts along and southeast of the Interstate 95 corridor. Potential

impacts include:

– 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 Linundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge closures.

* TORNADOES:

Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts across

New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. Potential impacts include:

– 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.

* WIND:

Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across

coastal New Jersey. Potential impacts in this area include:

– Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.

– Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.

– A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways.

– Scattered power and communications outages.
