**TROPICAL STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS**
NEW INFORMATION
---------------
* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- None
* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Monroe Lower Keys,
Monroe Middle Keys, and Monroe Upper Keys
* STORM INFORMATION:
- About 660 miles west-southwest of Key West FL or about 710
miles west-southwest of Marathon FL
- 21.7N 91.7W
- Storm Intensity 155 mph
- Movement East-southeast or 110 degrees at 9 mph
SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
As of 11 AM EDT, the eye of Hurricane Milton was located in the
southern Gulf of Mexico, about 660 miles west-southwest of Key West,
with maximum sustained winds near 155 mph. Milton is moving toward the
east- southeast near 9 mph. An eastward to east- southeastward motion
is forecast through tonight, followed by a turn toward the east and
northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday. On the forecast track, Milton is
forecast to move near or just north of the Yucatan Peninsula today and
Tuesday, then cross the eastern Gulf of Mexico and approach the west
coast of the Florida Peninsula by Wednesday.
Thundery squalls with local wind gusts of 55 to 65 mph will be
possible throughout the Florida Keys from Tuesday evening through
Thursday morning. Additionally, there is a low potential for a few
tornadoes. There is the also the potential for sustained tropical storm
force winds from Wednesday morning through Thursday morning as Milton
makes its closest approach to the Keys, and a Tropical Storm Watch
remains in effect for all of the Florida Keys.
Storm surge saltwater flooding of 1 to 3 feet above ground level, or
mean higher high water, will be possible on the Gulf and Bay side of
the Florida Keys from Wednesday morning through Thursday.
Additionally, Atlantic facing shorelines will be susceptible to
crashing waves and overwash. A Coastal Flood Watch remains in effect
for all of the Florida Keys.
Additional rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches, with isolated totals up
to 15 inches, are likely through Thursday morning. A significant
portion of this rainfall will occur well in advance of Milton`s closest
approach to the Keys. Flooding of low elevation streets and poor
drainage areas is likely.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND:
Prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across the
Florida Keys. Potential impacts 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.
* SURGE:
Prepare for locally hazardous surge having possible limited impacts
across the Florida Keys. Potential impacts in this area include:
- Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along
immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
- Sections of roads and parking lots inundated by surge water.
Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge water covers
the road.
- Moderate beach erosion.
- Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,
and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.
* FLOODING RAIN:
Prepare for life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible
extensive impacts across the Florida Keys. Potential impacts include:
- Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
- 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.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:
Refer to monroecountyem.com for the latest information.
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Now is the time to check your emergency plan and emergency supplies
kit and take necessary actions to protect your family and secure your
home or business.
When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the
exact forecast track since hazards such as flooding rain, damaging
wind gusts, storm surge, and tornadoes extend well away from the
center of the storm.
If you live in a place particularly vulnerable to flooding, such as
in a low-lying or poor drainage area, plan to move to safe shelter on
higher ground.
When securing your property, outside preparations should be concluded
by Tuesday. The onset of strong gusty winds or flooding can cause
certain preparedness activities to become unsafe.
Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather Radio and local news
outlets for official storm information. Listen for possible changes
to the forecast.

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible today and tonight. The primary hazards will be gusty winds, cloud to surface lightning strikes, and locally heavy rainfall. The Weather Prediction Center placed South Florida and the Keys in a Slight Risk (15-40% chance) for Excessive Rainfall today and tonight. There is a slight chance for strong to severe thunderstorms today and tonight due to adequate deep layer shear and instability. These storms will be capable of damaging wind gusts. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday. A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect for all Florida Keys and surrounding waters and a Hurricane Watch is in effect for the deep Gulf zones, including the Dry Tortugas. Hurricane Milton is expected to emerge out of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, accelerating eastward then northeastward across the Gulf of Mexico over the next few days, making landfall on the Florida Peninsula Wednesday evening. However, there remains uncertainty regarding Milton`s track, timing, size, and intensity as it passes by to our north. Regardless, the Keys will feel some impacts from Milton`s passage. Expect winds to ramp up considerably late Tuesday, peaking early Wednesday. The Weather Prediction Center placed South Florida and the Keys in a Slight Risk (15-40% chance) for Excessive Rainfall through early Wednesday. Rainfall totals for will range between 5 to 10 inches with isolated 15 inches. Milton is expected to be a sizable storm by the time it nears the Florida Peninsula. Early estimates of 1 to 3 feet of coastal flooding is forecast for our our gulf and bay side coasts, exacerbating the already high seasonal tides. As a result, a Coastal Flood Watch is now in effect. In addition, due to being within Milton`s right front quadrant, there will be a slight chance for strong to severe thunderstorms Tuesday through early Wednesday due to adequate deep layer shear and instability. These storms will be capable of damaging wind gusts and potentially a few tornados. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected at this time. $$ 11
