Areal Flood Watch Statement as of 12:01 PM EDT on September 5, 2008

... Flood Watch remains in effect from Saturday afternoon through
late Saturday night...

The Flood Watch continues for

* portions of Delaware... northeast Maryland... New Jersey and
Pennsylvania... including the following areas... in Delaware...
Delaware beaches... inland Sussex... Kent and New Castle. In
northeast Maryland... Caroline... Cecil... Kent MD... Queen Annes
and Talbot. In New Jersey... Atlantic... Atlantic coastal Cape
May... Camden... Cape May... coastal Atlantic... coastal ocean...
Cumberland... eastern Monmouth... Gloucester... Hunterdon...
Mercer... Middlesex... Morris... northwestern Burlington...

Warren and western Monmouth. In Pennsylvania... Berks... Bucks...
Carbon... Chester... Delaware... Lehigh... Monroe... Montgomery...
Northampton and Philadelphia.

* From Saturday afternoon through late Saturday night

* at 11 am EDT... Tropical Storm Hanna was located about 110 miles
east of Daytona Beach Florida. It was moving northwest at about
20 miles per hour... and this motion should continue today with a
gradual turn to the north tonight. The storm will move along the
middle Atlantic coast Saturday and Saturday night. It is
expected to bring 3 to 7 inches of rain to the watch area from
late Friday night into Saturday night. These rainfall totals
have the potential to produce flooding across the area. The
highest amounts are expected in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

* In the Flood Watch area... roads and poor drainage areas may
become flooded. Also... small creeks and streams may run high
or go out of their banks with this event.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to move to higher ground should flooding develop. Anyone
driving who encounters a flooded roadway should not try to drive
across it. Find an alternate Route.

... Tropical Storm Warning in effect...

... New information...

The tropical storm watch is no longer in effect... it has been
replaced by the Tropical Storm Warning.

... Areas affected...

This statement recommends actions to be taken by persons in...
central Delaware... northern Delaware... southern Delaware...
northeast Maryland... central New Jersey and southern New Jersey.

... Watches/warnings...

In addition to the Tropical Storm Warning... there is also a Flood
Watch in effect. Please listen to NOAA Weather Radio or go to
weather.Gov on the internet for more information about these
additional hazards.

... Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Power outages are possible. Have workable flashlights or portable
lanterns and a battery powered radio. Have a supply of spare
batteries. Use battery powered lights instead of candles to
prevent accidentally starting a fire. Emergency personnel and fire
fighters may not be able to reach you during the storm.

Rainfall amounts of 3 to 7 inches are expected across the region
as Hanna moves up the coast. Locally higher amounts are possible.
Rain is expected to begin Friday evening... then become heavier on
Saturday. Flash flooding of small streams... creeks... and urbanized
areas can be expected on Saturday as a result of this heavy rain.
Isolated thunderstorms are also possible.

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.

... Storm surge and storm tide...

Coastal storm surge flooding of 1 to 2 feet above normal tide
levels... along with large and dangerous battering waves... can be
expected near and to the east of the path of the center of Hanna.
Given the neap tide... these storm surge values are not expected
to produce widespread tidal flooding just by themselves.
However... wave action produced by strong gusty winds could
increase total water heights along the ocean front and the bays.
Heavy rain coincident with the times of high tide could also
enhance the flood threat along the ocean and Bay Shores due to the
fact that runoff would have nowhere to drain.

Beach erosion can be expected on Saturday from wind and wave action.

Times of the high tide for Saturday for locations along the New
Jersey coast and Delaware coasts...

Sandy Hook NJ... ... ... .12:52 am and 1:20 PM.
Seaside Heights NJ... ..12:22 am and 12:50 PM.
Atlantic City NJ... ... .12:14 am and 12:49 PM.
Cape May ocean NJ... ... 12:59 am and 1:27 PM.
Fenwick Island de... ... 12:38 am and 1:06 PM.

For the Delaware Bay...

Breakwater Harbor de... 01:31 am and 2:00 PM.
Reedy Point de... ... ... 04:28 am and 4:48 PM.

... Winds...

Sustained winds of tropical storm force... greater than 39 mph
with gust up to 60 mph... are possible beginning early Saturday
morning and lasting into the late afternoon.

Tropical Storm Hanna could produce wind gusts similar to the
mothers day storm of 2008.

... Probability of hurricane/tropical storm conditions...

There is a 50 percent chance of sustained tropical storm force
winds of 39 mph or greater on Saturday. Wind gusts to tropical
storm force are more likely... especially along the Atlantic coast.

Saturday. Flash flooding of small streams... creeks... and urbanized
