SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall Wednesday night as a
major hurricane along the central west coast of Florida. The system
will gradually weaken, while tracking northeast across the Florida
Peninsula and into the Atlantic by early Thursday morning. Milton will
then continue quickly east northeast into the Atlantic through the
latter half of the week.
Tropical storm force winds are forecast to begin impacting the area
Wednesday night and continue into Thursday. Frequent gusts of 45 to
55 mph are possible. Tropical storm force winds will then gradually
weaken Thursday night.
Storm surge inundation of 2 to 4 feet is possible along the coast,
except 1 to 3 feet along the coast of Charleston County. The greatest
potential for inundation could occur with the high tide Thursday
afternoon, and perhaps again Thursday night.
Rainfall associated with Milton will increase across parts of the area
starting Wednesday night and continue through Thursday. Total rainfall
will be 1 to 3 inches along the Georgia coast, and 1 to 2 inches along
the South Carolina coast. Locally higher amounts can occur.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND:
Prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across
coastal areas of southeast Georgia and southeast South Carolina.
Potential impacts in this area include:
- Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
- Large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or uprooted,
but with greater numbers in places where trees are shallow
rooted.
- Some roads impassable due to debris, particularly within urban
or heavily wooded locations. Hazardous driving conditions on
bridges and other elevated roadways, especially for high
profile vehicles.
- Isolated to scattered power and communications outages.
Elsewhere across southeast South Carolina and southeast Georgia,
little to no impact is anticipated.
* SURGE:
Prepare for life-threatening surge having possible significant
impacts across southeast Georgia. Potential impacts in this area
include:
- Areas of inundation of saltwater along immediate shorelines and
in low-lying spots farther inland near rivers and creeks, 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 normally vulnerable low
spots.
- Moderate to major beach erosion with heavy surf breaching
dunes. Strong and numerous rip currents.
- Minor to moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and
piers. Several small craft broken away from moorings,
especially in unprotected anchorages. Some navigation aids
possibly displaced well off station, creating difficult
navigation near inlets and waterways.
Elsewhere across southeast South Carolina and southeast Georgia,
little to no impact is anticipated.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* EVACUATIONS:
Follow the advice of local officials.
* 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.
Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather Radio and local news
outlets for official storm information. Listen for possible changes
to the forecast.

conditions warrant.
