* portions of southern Connecticut... northeast New Jersey and
southeast New York... including the following areas... in
southern Connecticut... northern Fairfield... northern
Middlesex... northern New Haven... northern New London...
southern Fairfield... southern Middlesex... southern New Haven
and southern New London. In northeast New Jersey... Bergen...
eastern Passaic... Essex... Hudson... Union and western Passaic.
In southeast New York... Bronx... Kings (brooklyn)... Nassau...
New York (manhattan)... northeastern Suffolk... northern
Westchester... northwestern Suffolk... Orange... Putnam...
Queens... Richmond (staten island)... Rockland... southeastern

* From Saturday morning through Sunday morning

* Tropical Storm Hanna is located east of Florida this morning
and is expected to continue to move northwest today.

* Heavy rain associated with this tropical storm will spread well
ahead of the main low late tonight into Saturday night... with
the heaviest rain expected Saturday into Saturday night.
Tropical Storm Hanna is expected to produce anywhere between 3
to 6 inches of rain with some possible higher amounts across the
watch area. These rainfall totals have the potential to produce
flooding across highly urbanized and poor drainage areas and
cause small streams and creeks to flow out of their banks.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

Flash flooding often leads to impassable roadways. Motorists that
attempt to cross flooded roadways but their lives in danger and
can cause thousands of dollars of damage to their vehicles due to
water entering the engine and vehicle.

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

Inland Tropical Wind Watch Statement as of 12:17 PM EDT on September 5, 2008

... Tropical storm wind watch in effect...

... Areas affected...

This statement recommends actions to be taken by persons in
interior sections of northern New Jersey... southeast New
York... and southern Connecticut.

... Watches/warnings...

A tropical storm wind watch is in effect. A Flood Watch is in
effect from Saturday morning through Sunday morning.

... Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Home owners are urged to secure all loose outdoor items. Garbage
cans and lawn furniture can easily become projectiles with the
onset of tropical storm force winds. All residents and visitors
are urged to stock up on batteries... flashlights... drinking water
and non-perishable foods. People are also urged to remain indoors
during the storm as the combination of heavy rain and gutsy winds
will result in loose soil and the threat of downed trees... large
tree limbs and power lines.

... Winds...

At the Point of closest approach over eastern Long Island and far
southeast Connecticut... Hanna is expected to have sustained winds
of 45 mph with gusts to 55 mph... mainly east of the center. If
the storm moves as forecast... rain bands northwest of the center
will likely produce wind gusts up to 45 mph... especially at higher
elevations.

... Inland flooding...

Hanna is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 4 to 7
inches across the region. Higher amounts are possible where rain
bands are the most persistent. This amount of rain will likely
result in significant rises on area rivers... streams and
creeks... as well as moderate flooding of low lying... poor drainage
and urban areas.

Be prepared to move to higher ground if flooding begins to occur.
Do not drive through flood waters. If you encounter any flooding
while driving... turn around.

... Tornadoes...
tornadoes will be possible east of the track of Hanna. At this
time... this would keep the greatest risk of tornadoes to our south
and east.

... Next update...

This statement will be updated shortly after 5 PM this afternoon.
