A Tropical Storm Watch means tropical storm-force winds are possible 
somewhere within this area within the next 48 hours

* LOCATIONS AFFECTED
    - Wiggins

* WIND
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind
        - Peak Wind Forecast: 10-20 mph with gusts to 35 mph

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 39 
      to 57 mph
        - PLAN: Plan for hazardous wind of equivalent tropical storm 
          force.
        - PREPARE: Efforts to protect property should now be 
          underway. Prepare for limited wind damage.
        - ACT: Act now to complete preparations before the wind 
          becomes hazardous.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored 
          mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
        - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or 
          uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees 
          are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown 
          over.
        - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within 
          urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving 
          conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways.
        - Scattered power and communications outages.

* FLOODING RAIN
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: 
        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 4-8 inches, with locally 
          higher amounts

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for major 
      flooding rain
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for 
          major flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues are 
          likely.
        - PREPARE: Strongly consider protective actions, especially 
          if you are in an area vulnerable to flooding.
        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take 
          action will likely result in serious injury or loss of life.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive
        - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and 
          rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in 
          multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches 
          may become dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and 
          barriers may become stressed.
        - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple 
          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or 
          washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover 
          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of 
          moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions 
          become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some 
          weakened or washed out.

* TORNADO
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: 
        - Situation is favorable for tornadoes

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for several 
      tornadoes
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for 
          several tornadoes with a few possibly intense having larger 
          damage paths.
        - PREPARE: Those living in manufactured homes or on boats 
          should prepare to relocate to safe shelter before hazardous 
          weather arrives.
        - ACT: Listen for tornado watches and warnings. If a tornado 
          warning is issued, be ready to shelter quickly.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
        - The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the 
          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
        - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few 
          spots of considerable damage, power loss, and 
          communications failures.
        - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile 
          homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped 
          or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed 
          about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

* WIND
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind
        - Peak Wind Forecast: 10-20 mph with gusts to 40 mph

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 39 
      to 57 mph
        - PLAN: Plan for hazardous wind of equivalent tropical storm 
          force.
        - PREPARE: Efforts to protect property should now be 
          underway. Prepare for limited wind damage.
        - ACT: Act now to complete preparations before the wind 
          becomes hazardous.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored 
          mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
        - Many large tree limbs broken off. A few trees snapped or 
          uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees 
          are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown 
          over.
        - A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within 
          urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving 
          conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways.
        - Scattered power and communications outages.

* STORM SURGE
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible
        - Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 2-4 feet 
          above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
        - Window of concern: Wednesday morning until Thursday evening

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for storm 
      surge flooding greater than 3 feet above ground
        - PLAN: Plan for life-threatening storm surge flooding of 
          greater than 3 feet above ground.
        - PREPARE: Evacuation efforts and flood preparations should 
          soon be brought to completion before conditions become 
          unsafe.
        - ACT: Leave immediately if evacuation orders are given for 
          your area to avoid being cut off from emergency services or 
          needlessly risk lives.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
        - Areas of inundation affecting locations such as from the 
          Dog River up through the Mobile River and tributaries, 
          including downtown Mobile. Damage to several buildings.
        - Sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary roads 
          become weakened or washed out, especially in usually 
          vulnerable low spots. The US 90 Causeway will experience 
          significant flooding.
        - Moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. 
          Several small craft broken away from moorings, especially 
          in unprotected anchorages.

          moderate flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues 
          are possible.
        - PREPARE: Consider protective actions if you are in an area 
          vulnerable to flooding.
        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take 
          action may result in serious injury or loss of life. 

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
        - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations 
          and rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with 
          swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places, 
          especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, 
          creeks, canals, and ditches overflow.
        - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken 
          foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas 
          of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and 
          poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on 
          moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. 
          Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge 
          closures.
