SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
At 8 AM, the center of Hurricane Milton was located 75 miles east
northeast of Cape Canaveral. Maximum sustained winds were 85 mph, and
movement was toward the east northeast at 18 mph.
Milton is forecast to maintain hurricane strength through early
afternoon as the system moves farther offshore across the Atlantic
waters by the late afternoon hours. A tight pressure gradient
associated with Milton will continue strong winds across east central
Florida this morning. Some damaging winds gusts to 65 to 75 mph may
occur this morning across coastal areas, mainly north of Sebastian
Inlet.
Hurricane Warnings remain in effect for Volusia and Brevard counties,
and Hurricane Warnings have been transitioned to Tropical Storm
Warnings for Lake, Seminole, Orange, Osceola, Okeechobee, Indian River
and St. Lucie Counties. A Tropical Storm Warning also remains in
effect for Martin County. The strong winds continuing this morning
across east central Florida and strong and gusty winds along the
Atlantic coast into this afternoon will bring continued power outages
to some areas. Just because Milton has shifted offshore, doesn`t mean
the hazards have ended! If possible, avoid venturing outside.
A Flood Watch remains in effect for Lake, Seminole, Orange, Volusia
and northern Brevard counties. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to
2 inches are possible today, mainly across Volusia county and northern
Brevard counties. However, northern portions of east central Florida
received very heavy rainfall from Milton and excessive runoff will
continue to cause flooding in urban, low-lying and poor drainage
areas. Points along the St Johns River and the Little Wekiva River
also remain in Flood Stage.
The Saint Johns River at Astor will be near record flood levels this
afternoon and into the upcoming weekend. Additional locations upstream
on the Saint Johns are also likely to experience rises to Moderate to
Major flood stage over the next several days.
A Storm Surge Warning is in effect for all Brevard Barrier Islands and
Coastal Volusia County where coastal flood waters of 3 to 5 feet are
possible. Significant beach and dune erosion is likely. Heights up to
3 feet will be possible along the Treasure Coast. Additional dune
erosion is possible near the time of the next high tide between 1 and
3 pm this afternoon. Water levels will continue to be elevated along
the Atlantic coast on Friday with minor coastal flooding possible near
the times of high tide.
Do not drive into flooded roadways. Be especially careful near downed
trees and power lines when cleaning up from the storm.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND:
Potential impacts from the main wind event are now unfolding across
east central Florida. Remain well sheltered from life-threatening wind
having possible extensive impacts. If realized, these impacts 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.
* FLOODING RAIN:
Potential impacts from the flooding rain are still unfolding across
east central Florida, mainly across and north of the I-4 corridor.
Remain well guarded against locally hazardous flood waters having
additional impacts.
If realized, these impacts include:
- Localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations.
- Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter currents.
Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches may become swollen
and overflow in spots.
- Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in usually
vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding of water
occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor drainage
areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds become
near-full and begin to overflow. Some brief road and bridge
closures.
* SURGE:
Potential impacts from the main surge event are now unfolding across
coastal sections of east central Florida. Remain well away from
life-threatening surge having possible significant impacts. If
realized, these impacts include:
- Areas of inundation with storm surge flooding accentuated by
waves. Damage to several buildings, mainly near the coast.
- Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads become
weakened or washed out, especially in usually vulnerable low
spots.
- Major beach erosion with heavy surf breaching dunes. Strong and
numerous rip currents.
- Moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers.
Several small craft broken away from moorings, especially in
unprotected anchorages.
* TORNADOES:
Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time across
east central Florida.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:
Follow the advice of local officials.
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Listen for updates and be ready in case you lose electrical power.
Keep a battery-powered radio, charged cell phone and flashlight
handy.
Keep your cell phone charged and in power-saving mode. If you lose
power, use it sparingly and mainly for personal emergencies and
check-ins.
If you are prone to flooding or in an area under a storm surge watch
or warning, be prepared for the possibility of a quick and dramatic
rise in water levels.

Rip Current Statement

In addition, gusty northerly winds building down the coast behind tropical cyclone Milton will produce rough surf and a strong longshore current. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 10 to 15 feet expected in the surf zone for Volusia County and 7 to 12 feet southward across Brevard and Indian River counties. * WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Coastal Indian River, Mainland Northern Brevard, Northern Brevard Barrier Islands, Mainland Southern Brevard and Southern Brevard Barrier Islands Counties. * WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, through late tonight. For the High Surf Advisory, until 8 PM EDT Friday. * IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... High surf will affect the beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. Swimmers should remain out of the water due to large breaking waves and dangerous surf conditions. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don`t swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help. A longshore current flows parallel to the beach and can be strong enough to knock you off your feet and into deeper water. && $$
