&&

...PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE CONDITIONS...
THE CHANCE FOR HURRICANE CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS LOW. ALSO...THE
CHANCE FOR TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS UP TO 60
PERCENT. THIS REPRESENTS A SLIGHTLY UPWARD TREND SINCE THE LAST
FORECAST. TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE MOST LIKELY TO BEGIN
TONIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT.

...WINDS...
AS HURRICANE EARL MOVES CLOSER...THE THREAT FOR SUSTAINED HIGH
WINDS IS LIKELY TO INCREASE. THE LATEST FORECAST IS FOR TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WINDS FROM SATURDAY MORNING TO EARLY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. A GENERAL CONCERN SHOULD BE FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF AT
LEAST MINOR TO LOCALLY MODERATE DAMAGE SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE AREA.

...INLAND FLOODING...
THE INTERACTION BETWEEN EARL AND A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL PRODUCE WIDESPREAD RAIN ACROSS THE
AREA. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE GENERALLY 1 TO 3 INCHES WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. AT THIS TIME MINOR FLOODING OF SMALL
STREAMS AND SOME PONDING IN LOW LYING APPEARS POSSIBLE AS A
RESULT OF THE RAIN. HOWEVER...IF A BAND OF HEAVIER RAIN REMAINS
OVER AN AREA LONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SEVERAL INCHES OF RAINFALL...
MORE SERIOUS FLOODING COULD BE POSSIBLE.
