** Tropical Storm Watches Cancelled Along the Coast but Prolonged,
Dangerous Beach and Marine Conditions Developing This Week **
NEW INFORMATION
---------------
* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- All watches and warnings have been canceled
* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
- None
* STORM INFORMATION:
- About 350 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral FL
- 24.2N 77.3W
- Storm Intensity 40 mph
- Movement North or 360 degrees at 9 mph
SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
At 5 PM, Tropical Storm Imelda was located about 355 miles
southeast of Cape Canaveral, moving toward the north at 9 mph. The
tropical storm is forecast to gradually strengthen but remain well
offshore the Florida east coast Monday and Monday night, and become a
hurricane early Tuesday as it turns northeast and moves out to sea.
Fast moving showers and isolated storms within rainbands will produce
periods of heavy rain in some areas with localized amounts of 1 to
2 inches of additional rainfall possible through Monday night.
Tropical storm force winds are forecast to remain offshore of east
central Florida. As a result, the Tropical Storm Watch has been
cancelled for Volusia, Brevard, Indian River, Saint Lucie and Martin
counties. Nonetheless, breezy and gusty north to northeast winds of
20 to 30 mph are forecast on Monday with gusts up to 40 mph. A Wind
Advisory will be in effect for the coastal counties on Monday. A
Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for the adjacent Atlantic
coastal waters.
More significantly, at the coast, battering surf through the week will
produce dangerous beach conditions. A HIGH risk of rip currents is
forecast, with breaking waves of 6 to 10 feet. Beach erosion is likely
as waves run up to the dune line or sea walls, especially along the
northern Brevard and Volusia coast. Long-period swells from this
system combined with distant Major Hurricane Humberto will produce the
potential for long-duration moderate beach and dune erosion, along
with high surf conditions, through late week.
--------------------
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* WIND:
North to northeast winds of 20 to 30 mph are forecast on Monday with
gusts up to 40 mph. A Wind Advisory will be in effect for the coastal
counties on Monday.
Elsewhere across East Central Florida, little to no impact is
anticipated.
* SURGE:
Little to no additional surge impacts expected. However, high surf will
cause beach erosion and potential for minor coastal flooding especially
around the times of high tide for the next several days.
* FLOODING RAIN:
Additional impacts from localized heavy rain are still a concern across East
Central Florida. Remain well guarded against locally hazardous flood
waters having further impacts of limited potential.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Prolonged and dangerous beach and marine conditions will develop this
week including a HIGH risk of life threatening rip currents, high surf
with breaking waves of 6 to 10 feet and moderate beach erosion.
Entering the surf is highly discouraged.

What is the difference between a weather warning, watch and advisory?
The National Weather Service issues alerts in different categories to indicate the severity of storms and if the public should take immediate action to prevent the loss of life or property or be aware of the potential of the same.
Weather Warning
A weather warning is issued when severe weather conditions are occuring or imminent and there is danger to life and/or property. The warning will include what action should be taken including evacuation or shelter in place and should be heeded immediately. Warnings are usually issued for a small, specific area and for a definite period of time.
Weather Watch
A weather watch is an alert issued by the National Weather Service when conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather. A weather watch means that severe weather is possible in the area, so it is important to stay tuned to the latest forecasts and be prepared for potential storms.
The purpose of a weather watch is to provide advance warning to people in the affected area so that they can take necessary precautions. It is important to remember that a weather watch does not mean that severe weather will definitely occur, but simply that there is a higher chance of it happening.
If you live in an area where severe weather is common, it may be wise to have a plan in place for what you will do if a storm hits. Make sure you have plenty of food and water stored, as well as flashlights, batteries, and other supplies. You may also want to consider evacuating if necessary.
Weather Advisory
An advisory means the conditions are likely to occur. These are typically used for less severe weather events like frost or winds but can be used for other types of severe weather.
What is a Red Flag Warning?
A red flag warning is issued by the National Weather Service to inform the public, firefighters, and land management agencies that conditions are ideal for wildland fires and any fire which does start could spread rapidly. These are often issued after drought conditions, when humidity is very low and especially when there are high or erratic winds. The possibility of lightning is also a determining factor. Fire fighting agencies often will increase their staffing and equipment resources due to the forecast risk. For the public, a Red Flag Warning often means high fire danger leading to restrictions or bans on outdoor burning including burn piles, burn barrels and campfires. Use of anything which may produce sparks, including outdoor lawn equipment, chainsaws and welding, may be restricted or prohibited.
The weather criteria for fire weather watches and red flag warnings vary with each Weather Service office’s warning area based on the local vegetation type, topography, and distance from major water sources. They usually include the daily vegetation moisture content calculations, expected afternoon high temperature, afternoon minimum relative humidity and daytime wind speed.
An enhanced version of the warning, called extreme red flag warning, may be issued. This means that conditions for fire growth and behavior are extremely dangerous due to a combination of strong winds, very low humidity, long duration, and very dry fuels.
