...TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT...


* LOCATIONS AFFECTED

    - Trenton


* WIND

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind

        - Peak Wind Forecast: 10-20 mph with gusts to 40 mph


    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 39

      to 57 mph

        - The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the

          previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Plan for hazardous wind of equivalent tropical storm

          force.

        - PREPARE: Efforts to protect property should now be

          underway. Prepare for limited wind damage.

        - ACT: Act now to complete preparations before the wind

          becomes hazardous.


    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited

        - 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.


* FLOODING RAIN

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Flood Watch is in effect

        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 3-6 inches, with locally

          higher amounts


    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for major

      flooding rain

        - The flooding rain threat has increased from the previous

          assessment.

        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for

          major flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues are

          likely.

        - PREPARE: Strongly consider protective actions, especially

          if you are in an area vulnerable to flooding.

        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take

          action will likely result in serious injury or loss of life.


    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive

        - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and

          rescues.

        - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in

          multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos,

          and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas,

          destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while

          increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides.

          Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.

        - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple

          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or

          washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover

          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of

          moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions

          become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some

          weakened or washed out.


* TORNADO

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:

        - Situation is unfavorable for tornadoes


    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Tornadoes not expected

        - The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the

          previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Tornadoes are not expected. Showers and thunderstorms

          with gusty winds may still occur.

        - PREPARE: Little to no preparations needed to protect

          against tornadoes at this time. Keep informed of the latest

          tornado situation.

        - ACT: Listen for changes in the forecast.


    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Little to None

        - Little to no potential impacts from tornadoes.

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 39

      to 57 mph

        - The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the

          previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Plan for hazardous wind of equivalent tropical storm

          force.

        - PREPARE: Remaining efforts to protect property should be

          completed as soon as possible. Prepare for limited wind

          damage.

        - ACT: Move to safe shelter before the wind becomes hazardous.


    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited

        - 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.

          action will likely result in serious injury or loss of life.


    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive

        - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and

          rescues.

        - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in

          multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos,

          and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas,

          destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while

          increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides.

          Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.

        - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple

          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or

          washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover

          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of

          moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions

          become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some

          weakened or washed out.

          assessment.

        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for a

          few tornadoes.

        - PREPARE: If your shelter is particularly vulnerable to

          tornadoes, prepare to relocate to safe shelter before

          hazardous weather arrives.

        - ACT: If a tornado warning is issued, be ready to shelter

          quickly.


    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited

        - 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.

        - PLAN: Plan for dangerous wind of equivalent strong tropical

          storm force.

        - PREPARE: Remaining efforts to protect life and property

          should be completed as soon as possible. Prepare for

          significant wind damage.

        - ACT: Move to safe shelter before the wind becomes hazardous.


    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant

        - Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with

          damage to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few

          buildings experiencing window, door, and garage door

          failures. Mobile homes damaged, especially if unanchored.

          Unsecured lightweight objects become dangerous projectiles.

        - Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater

          numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several

          fences and roadway signs blown over.

        - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within

          urban or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways,

          and access routes impassable.

        - Scattered power and communications outages, but more

          prevalent in areas with above ground lines.


* FLOODING RAIN

          action will likely result in serious injury or loss of life.


    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive

        - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and

          rescues.

        - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in

          multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos,

          and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas,

          destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while

          increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides.

          Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.

        - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple

          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or

          washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover

          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of

          moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions

          become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some
