‘Be mindful:’ Central Florida Coastal Communities Prepare for Likely Tropical Storm
Tropical Depression Nine could bring up to 2 feet of storm surge and 1 to 3 inches of rain along Florida’s East Coast, with watches in effect through the weekend.
- The National Hurricane Center issued a Tropical Storm Watch covering coastal counties from the Palm Beach/Martin County line north to the Flagler/Volusia County line, including the Northern Brevard Barrier Islands where winds up to 45 mph and coastal flooding are possible by Sunday afternoon.
- Tropical Depression Nine formed near the Bahamas with 35 mph winds and is expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Imelda by Sunday as Hurricane Humberto, Category 5, influences its track.
- Forecasters warn water could rise by as much as 2 feet in surge-prone barrier islands, with 1 to 3 inches of rain along and east of Interstate 95 and high surf causing beach erosion.
- Emergency officials urge residents to complete storm preparations, and South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster issued a state of emergency, stating, `As this storm approaches our coast, I am issuing a State of Emergency to ensure Team South Carolina is able to access and deploy the resources and personnel needed to prepare for and respond to this storm.`
- Model trends now favor the system moving back out to the Atlantic, but stalling Monday through Wednesday and rough surf from Tropical Depression Nine and distant Hurricane Humberto will keep coastal hazards into early next week.
