Areal Flood Watch Statement as of 3:39 am EDT on August 20, 2008

... Flood Watch now in effect through Thursday morning...

The Flood Watch is now in effect for

* east central Florida... including the following areas...
Volusia... Indian River... Martin... Brevard... Lake...
Okeechobee... Orange... Osceola... Seminole... and St. Lucie.

* Through Thursday morning

* rainbands associated with Tropical Storm Fay will be capable of
producing rainfall amounts of three to six inches with locally
higher amounts through Thursday morning. While the highest
rainfall totals are expected to shift north today... the southern
sections of east central Florida will remain vulnerable to
flooding due to the very heavy rain that occurred on Tuesday.

* Rainfall totals from Fay thus far...

Rainfall Tuesday topped 10 inches at Jensen Beach... with several
reports of 7 to 9 inches along the Treasure Coast. Many areas
had rainfall above 5 inches Tuesday that extended northward
into Osceola and Brevard counties.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecast for Tropical Storm Fay.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for additional
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take quick action should additional flooding develop.

Inland Tropical Wind Warning Statement as of 3:22 PM EDT on August 20, 2008

... Tropical Storm Wind Warning remains in effect...

... New information...
Tropical Storm Fay remains in vicinity of the North Brevard County
coast... with a creeping motion to the north along the coastline.
Fay is forecast to track along the Brevard and Volusia County
coast through this evening before heading back west near Daytona
Beach Thursday morning. Since Fay will remain close to land it no
longer is expected to reintensify and should stay at tropical
storm strength. Fay is expected to move west across northern
section of Florida through Friday.

... Winds...
as Fay moves slowly northward near the East Coast... winds will
shift to the north across the interior including around Metro
Orlando. Winds will still frequently reach 25 mph... and up to 40
mph in showers.

The threat for tropical storm force winds gusts will continue
tonight and into Thursday across northern interior portions of
east central Florida including inland Volusia and Northern Lake
counties. On the current forecast track... the center will move
west northwest just north of Volusia County on Thursday. South of
the circulation center... gusty winds to tropical storm force can
be expected... with the highest probability across inland Volusia
and Northern Lake counties.

... Inland flooding...
Fay continues to be a significant flooding threat for especially
Brevard County and extending into portions of Osceola
County... .and north Indian River County. Heavy rain bands continue
to pivot around the center of Fay. The heaviest rain bands are now
across Brevard County and north Indian River County... in the same
areas that have already received excessive amounts of rain over
the last 24 hours.

On the Saint Johns River between Lake Harney and Astor... there is
currently no significant flooding. The latest stage heights at
Lake Harney... Sanford... Deland... and Astor are all below river
flood stage. Rain totals along the Saint Johns River will increase
north of Lake Harney today and tonight. As of this morning... the
stage at Astor is expected to reach 2.5 feet by late Friday above
action stage of 2.3 feet... but below flood stage of 2.8 feet.

... Next update...
the next local statement will be issued by the National Weather
