It is forecast to remain at or near major hurricane strength as it approaches the west coast of Florida by the middle of the week. The following are the primary hazards of concern with Hurricane Milton for South Florida: * Storm Surge - There is an increasing risk of dangerous storm surge for portions of the Florida Gulf Coast. 4 to 7 feet of storm surge over portions of coastal Collier County and 3 to 5 feet over portions of Mainland Monroe County Wednesday night into Thursday. * Rainfall - Heavy rainfall leading to possible flooding is expected across South Florida through much of this week. 4 to 6 inches of additional rainfall is possible through Saturday with highest totals across coastal Southwest Florida. Isolated locations could experience up to 8 inches with the heavier rain. A Flood Watch is in effect for the entire area through Thursday morning. Flash Flooding cannot be ruled out. * Wind - The highest probabilities for sustained hurricane and tropical storm force winds will be along the Gulf coast of Southwest Florida, including Glades, Hendry and Collier, and adjacent Gulf waters. Tropical storm force winds are also possible across the rest of South Florida, including the Atlantic coast and adjacent Atlantic waters, especially in conjunction with Milton`s rainbands. * Tornadoes - An isolated tornado threat associated with Milton may develop Tuesday night through Wednesday with a focus across portions of the western Florida Peninsula. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * SURGE: Protect against life-threatening surge having possible extensive impacts across coastal Southwest Florida. Potential impacts in this area include: - Large areas of deep inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated by battering waves. Structural damage to buildings, with several washing away. Damage compounded by floating debris. Locations may be uninhabitable for an extended period. - Large sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads washed out or severely flooded. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed. - Severe beach erosion with significant dune loss. - Major damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. Many small craft broken away from moorings, especially in unprotected anchorages with some lifted onshore and stranded. Also, protect against locally hazardous surge having possible significant impacts across far south Miami Dade County. Elsewhere across South Florida, little to no impact is anticipated. * WIND: Protect against life-threatening wind having possible extensive impacts across Southwest Florida. Potential impacts in this area include: - Considerable roof damage to sturdy buildings, with some having window, door, and garage door failures leading to structural damage. Mobile homes severely damaged, with some destroyed. Damage accentuated by airborne projectiles. Locations may be uninhabitable for weeks. - Many large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and roadway signs blown over. - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban or heavily wooded places. Several bridges, causeways, and access routes impassable. - Large areas with power and communications outages. Also, protect against dangerous wind having possible limited to significant impacts across the remainder of South Florida including the east coast metropolitan region. * FLOODING RAIN: Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible extensive impacts across South Florida. Potential impacts include: - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues. - Ditches and canals may rapidly overflow their banks in multiple places. 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, parking lots and underpasses become submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out. * TORNADOES: Protect against a tornado event having possible limited impacts across South Florida. 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, 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. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Now is the time to complete all preparations to protect life and property in accordance with your emergency plan. Ensure you are in a safe location before the onset of strong winds or possible flooding. Keep cell phones well charged. Cell phone chargers for automobiles can be helpful, but be aware of your risk for deadly carbon monoxide poisoning if your car is left idling in a garage or other poorly ventilated area. Storm surge is the leading killer associated with tropical storms and hurricanes! Make sure you are in a safe area away from the surge zone. Even if you are not in a surge-prone area, you could find yourself cutoff by flood waters during and after the storm. Heed evacuation orders issued by the local authorities. Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather warnings. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Miami FL around 6 AM EDT, or sooner if conditions warrant. $$
