...TROPICAL STORM WATCH IN EFFECT...

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

* LOCATIONS AFFECTED
    - Alamo

* WIND
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Below tropical storm force wind
        - Peak Wind Forecast: 20-25 mph with gusts to 40 mph

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 58 
      to 73 mph
        - PLAN: Plan for dangerous wind of equivalent strong tropical 
          storm force.
        - PREPARE: Remaining efforts to protect life and property 
          should be completed as soon as possible. Prepare for 
          significant wind damage.
        - ACT: Move to safe shelter before the wind becomes hazardous.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
        - Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with 
          damage to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few 
          buildings experiencing window, door, and garage door 
          failures. Mobile homes damaged, especially if unanchored. 
          Unsecured lightweight objects become dangerous projectiles.
        - Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greater 
          numbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Several 
          fences and roadway signs blown over.
        - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within 
          urban or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways, 
          and access routes impassable.
        - Scattered power and communications outages, but more 
          prevalent in areas with above ground lines.

* FLOODING RAIN
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Flood Watch is in effect
        - 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 flooding
      rain
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for
          flooding from heavy rain.
        - 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 could result in serious injury or loss of life.

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

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

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST 
      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for a few 
      tornadoes
        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for a 
          few tornadoes.
        - PREPARE: If your shelter is particularly vulnerable to 
          tornadoes, prepare to relocate to safe shelter before 
          hazardous weather arrives.
        - ACT: If a tornado warning is issued, be ready to shelter 
          quickly.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the 
          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
        - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with 
          power and communications disruptions.
        - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, 
          chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or 
          overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off, 
          shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown 
          off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.
